Scooters are designed for use by everyone, not just the elderly or those with limited mobility. These tools are widely utilized in various settings such as agricultural settlements, factories,
warehouses, maintenance personnel, terminals, and more. In recent years, the use of electric vehicles and scooters in urban areas has increased due to rising fuel prices,
parking challenges, as an alternative to cars and motorcycles, and growing environmental awareness.
. All of these vehicles are exempt from licensing and fees applicable to fuel-powered vehicles.
The variety of models allows for customization to meet the specific needs of individuals, families, and institutions, providing the right solution for: mobility-impaired individuals, maintenance personnel, those without a driving license, people without a car, light load transportation and collection, work purposes, and operation by a caregiver, among others.
For patients with upper limb difficulties, using a scooter is preferable for the following reasons:
א) 1. The handlebar prevents forward falls (unlike a wheelchair, which is open at the front).
ב) 2. Greater convenience in opening doors (home/elevator), as a scooter can be operated forward and backward with either hand, while a motorized wheelchair can only be operated with one hand. For example, a patient wanting to open a door to the right will find it very difficult to open the door with the left hand and operate the chair with the right hand if the joystick is on the right side of the chair.
ג) 3. A patient with a poorly functioning hand can exercise it while riding a scooter (like physical therapy, which involves cognitive activation).
