Steering and control of electric powered mobility scooters is generally performed through handlebars very similar to those found on bicycles and perform best for owners that happen to be not afflicted with upper body range of motion problems. Top speeds average around 8 miles per hour, with higher power versions usable on streets, rough ground, and up steep inclines. Personal mobility scooters are a very affordable option to re-building an individual’s movement, independence and self-reliance.
