Ok, forget to my message in the Insurance thread, my 91 year old dad is going to give up his car and wants me to source him a mobility scooter.
Will use it to go to church, his voluntary work at the local hospice, and to the Aldi for his shopping. All within a mile of his house.
I understand there are pavement ones and road ones. He is adamant he wants a road one that can do the 8mph but I am hoping to talk him out of that for obvious reasons.
Would appreciate any input/ experience/ recommendations of this situation.
My gut feeling is I would like one with bigger wheels that look a bit more robust for up and down kerbs etc.
Wouldn’t need it to fold for car boots or anything.
Would be stored and charged in his garage.
To access his garage there is a steep road at side of his house. Would need to be able to comfortably go up this. And down it. I assume these are drive wheels only so no chance of it freewheeling away down the hill?
Would need to have space or storage of some sort for his shopping.
Not sure about weather proofing? Have seen scooters with a zip up transparent cover over them but don’t believe that would give any level of visibility.
And finally, how do you secure these when parked outside shops etc?
