Some scooters have cup holders that are useful for people who need to keep a bottle of water or snack close to hand while driving.
Before storing your scooter, it is recommended that all loose and unattached parts be removed. They could be damaged during storage or fall off and get lost, so it is best to keep them out of the way until you need them again. This will make it much easier to move and store your scooter. It can also help to prevent any damage.

The weight capacity of your scooter is a different aspect to consider. If you're an obese person, it is recommended to select a more robust scooter that can handle larger users and navigate more difficult terrain.

The design of your mobility device will depend on the conditions in which you plan to use it. For instance, if going to be using it in a city, you might want to opt for three-wheel models with a narrow base and tight turning radius, which makes them ideal for maneuvering in narrow spaces. A four-wheeled scooter with a wide base and wide-track tires are better suited for off-road conditions.
