No matter what you are shopping for, you probably pay attention to the brand of this item, especially if it’s something expensive. But when it comes to a mobility scooter, most people have no idea what the good and reliable brands are. At our Maryland scooter store, we get asked to provide information or recommendations about different scooter brands all the time. So we’ve put together this short list based on our own experience. These are scooter brands we have personally worked with, saw in action and would choose in a heartbeat.
Drive Medical Mobility Scooters
Drive Medical is one of the largest distributors of mobility equipment in the U.S. They’ve been around for over 15 years and during that time the quality and assortment of their products has improved dramatically. Currently, Drive Medical carries three different types of scooters.
