Scooter vs Powered chair

I have neither as yet, Mark, but isn’t a power chair more suited to tighter indoor spaces. I fancy one of those in the future, rather than mucking about with handle bars and U turns! I suppose it depends on how much outdoor travelling you do and over what terrain. There are quite a number of “offroad” scooters and chairs i have looked up online recently.

That is always a difficult decision . For now I am sticking with a scooter. I can put it in the back of my WAV very easily and use it in most places I go to. If I can’t use it then I dont go. I can stand so that may influence my decision. I also could not use either inside the house as there is too little room. Most shops do not allow sufficient room to navigate around them with a scooter and often with a motorised chair so increasingly I use order online. This is especially valuable when many disabled parking bays are disappearing to be replaced by charging points. On bumpy pavements like our s are in the country I would suspect that scooters are more stable than powered chairs as they have a longer wheelbase, and are also far better I would imagine as they tend to have a much greater clearance because of larger wheels.
Please do consider changing your batteries for your chair yourself. I have done that a couple of time on my second hand scooter, and it was very easy.
But as Cat has said more info about how you might use them and where would be very helpful to give more specific guidance.
