An electric moped, or electric scooter is a mobility aid used by disabled and the elderly, or anyone who has difficulty getting around by walking.
The advantages of an electric moped are that people can get around while sitting down comfortably. They are useful for people who cannot operate a manual wheelchair and for people with whole body conditions such as lung issues, obesity or arthritis, who are able to walk a few steps and sit upright without support. One of the main things that people like about the electric mopeds is that they don’t look like wheelchairs and have less of the negative stigma associated with them. They come in funky designs and colours and are more affordable than electric wheelchairs.
The limitations of an electric moped are that they still require some upper-body mobility and strength in order to operate the steering mechanism. They also require you to be able to sit in an upright position. They are longer than wheelchairs, which can make turning in tight spaces more difficult. Electric mopeds, as they are designed more for people who can still stand and take a few steps, are usually not designed for easy transfer from seat to bed.
Different makes and models of electric moped have different advantages and disadvantages, and it is best to do some research before deciding on the best option. It is also worth comparing prices as these may differ radically from one model to the next.
