Mobility scooter vs. electric wheelchair speeds

Whether you choose a power wheelchair or a motorised scooter, speed is the primary consideration. Most electric wheelchairs available today are usually used for short journeys or at home, so their speeds are usually in the range of 4 to 6 miles per hour, with the fastest speeds reaching 8 to 10 miles per hour. Motorized scooters, on the other hand, are relatively fast, as they are usually used for long journeys and therefore require more stringent testing standards for their batteries and stable construction.

How to choose a mobility scooter based on speed

When choosing a mobility scooter, you need to choose a speed based on the environment you normally use it in, the distance you will travel, and according to the requirements of your local regulations.

When you want to travel further away from home, you need to consider a electric mobility scooter that is relatively fast and has a longer range.
