It is not usually an easy thing to realize that your ability to get around has been reduced. Most of us enjoy being able to get around when we are young and in good health. Whether your age and health are the reason for needing a disabled mobility scooter or an accident it can be tough.

Heavy duty mobility scooters used to be called electrical carts or mobility assistance vehicles when they first came out. Sometimes they are known as "disabled cars" or "granny-mobiles", but that is sometimes considered a derogatory description. Whatever they were once called, they are now marketed as heavy duty mobility scooters. Although designed for the disabled and for senior citizens, many kids look on them with envy.
