3-wheel Mobility Scooters vs. 4-wheel. What is the Difference?

You may be wondering, is a 4 wheel mobility scooter better than a wheel scooter? But the answer depends on what your needs are and where you’ll be using the scooter! 3 wheels are great for indoor use and are often recommended if you need a scooter that is good at navigating sharp turns. While an electric 4 wheel scooter offers stability and works well outdoors. 

 

What About Mobility Scooter Wheel Size?

A scooter model with smaller wheels might be an option for indoor use to allow turning in a smaller radius. Larger wheels offer bigger suspension and can handle more types of terrain. A scooter with larger pneumatic wheels will provide additional comfort, particularly if it is being used on uneven terrain. Pneumatic tires are air-filled and provide a flexible strong grip on uneven surfaces. Solid tires are made of solid rubber and are more puncture resistant.
