Description
The Pride i-Go Plus directly responds to this need and has been redesigned from the ground up to easily tackle your everyday outdoor pavement scenarios while feeling more stable. Featuring front suspension, an upgraded padded seat and backrest, convenient under-seat storage, and ample foot room, the i-Go Plus still retains its predecessor’s compact and lightweight design that can fold in just a few simple steps for effortless transport.
All high-stress components, including the motors, have also been completely replaced with more durable counterparts, and the wheel size has also been increased to help further smooth out the bumps you might encounter. At the same time, out and about while an upgraded 18 amp lithium battery ensures you have the same reliable range as a heavy-duty boot scooter. The only sacrifice for this multitude of improvements has been a slight increase in the overall lifting weight – 24kg up from the original i-Go’s 19kg; however, we here at 247 Medical Equipment genuinely feel that this increase is truly worth the significant comprehensive upgrade to the i-Go’s reliability, stability, range, comfort, and capabilities.
What is a mobility scooter?
A mobility scooter is an electric vehicle that can provide a simple and affordable way of getting out and about independently if you have mobility problems. A typical mobility scooter looks a bit like the ATTO Sport but functions more like a cross between a motorised wheelchair and a motor scooter. However, they travel much more slowly than motor scooters, with maximum speeds of 8 mph for road scooters or 4 mph on pavements. Although there are different types available, all mobility scooters have bike-style steering (a ‘tiller’) to direct the wheels, large padded upright seats and simple controls. They are powered by batteries.
Who is a mobility scooter suitable for?
Mobility scooters can be ideal if you have limited mobility but still want to be able to visit friends and family nearby, do your shopping or get around town without relying on others to help you get around. They’re suitable if you have a good sitting balance, the ability to step on and off, adequate eyesight and a good memory. However, if you have problems with any of the above, or if you have a medical condition that is likely to change, this might not be the best solution for you.
