One of the main reasons people request scooters are to use them outside of the home.  Scooters are perceived to be a viable means to drive to the store or other community locations.

Scooters are often used to replace one’s automobile. It is a dangerous practice to operate a scooter or wheelchair on the road.  Scooter and wheelchair users are more likely to be hit in traffic than pedestrians and 3 times more likely to be killed.  It is believed that the driver’s line of vision is such that a person sitting in either a scooter or wheelchair is not seen.

Insurance companies have long since recognized the trend to use scooters for outdoors and some have excluded scooters from their benefits.  The few insurance companies that still contain scooters in their benefits limit the use of the scooter to in home use with limited community access i.e., physician appointments, church, or shopping.

The scooter must be transported via personal vehicle or public transportation from point A to point B, not driven from point A to point B. Scooters were not designed to travel over sidewalks or on roads for extended distances.
