The Popularity of Mobility Scooters is Increasing
The impact is felt when the popularity of mobility scooters has increased. Many people who have only gone around and looked in the past are coming in and buying now. This according to George, a mobility scooter dealer. We met up with him in his store in New York, where he showed us some of the latest models from Pride Mobility. Everything from portable lightweight scooters to heavy duty monsters. There are many who are craving for a Pride Mobility. But quality models from the other brands have sold well in recent years. This year we also noticed an increasing interest in lightweight scooters.
The interest has increased as prices plummeted in the last years. When the dollar is at it's weakest in comparison to the Asian currencies American brands are much more affordable. At the same time, the insurance companies are less likely to pay for a more expensive Asian scooter. Sales of new scooters have gained momentum and some models were sold out already at the beginning of the year. It is a good thing.In the stores appears that the used machines that are only a couple three years old. And you can actually find well-run scooter from the early 90s, which is almost as good as new. It is possible to find great second-hand mobility scooters for only about $1000.
