1. Widen your range

• The major, number one advantage of a mobility
  scooter is the face that you will now be able to
  go out and about without needing assistance from
  anybody. Short shopping trips, a ride to get some
  fresh air, or simply getting out of the house to
  look at the sun, you will not need help to do
  these things any longer. This has been proven to
  have major psychological benefits, as the
  increased sense of independence leads to
  confidence and feelings of freedom in the longer
  term.
