Mobility scooter

I have cerebral palsy and have had my mobility scooter for 6 years. It’s started to tip over and I no longer feel safe on it. Just wondered if anyone had mobility scooter companies They had used that I could research and also any idea of how you recycle old mobility scooters
Thanks

I would get in touch with a mobility specialist in your area who will be able to assess and recommend the best scooter for you and may also take the old one in part exchange
Good luck and keep us updated
Hi @Gemstr, how are you doing?
If you have an occupational therapist or physiotherapist, ask them for advice on what you need and what products are available.
Please check out this link on working with your occupational therapist to find the best equipment for your needs
Working with your occupational therapist
Look for online discussions about what other people with similar conditions use, such as:
Think about how you plan to get the equipment you need and how to pay for it and what to consider before ordering it.
The links below have good tips on what to look out for:
When you’ve decided what equipment you want, and how you will get it, focus on researching the product.
Reviews are not professional advice
Advice on communities, forums, customer reviews and social media are often based on one person’s experience. Finding more reviews may help you to understand how people feel about equipment, but reviews are not professional advice.

I've recently got a new scooter so I looked them up on Amazon and that helped as not only could I see all different types/makes and work out what was best for me, but the outlets were also listed so I 'phone the outlets and a lot of the businesses will come to you. And if the product wasn't good for you there is no pressure to buy! It's best to have someone with you when they come out though!

It is always better to try before you buy, especially with such an important purchase like this one.
