Who Needs a Scooter?
Do you have trouble walking long distances? Joint pain, balance issues or muscle problems? If so, you might enjoy life more if you used a mobility scooter to assist you. On the other hand, you might hate the darned thing! Before you spend fistfuls of your own money, or fight with doctors and insurance about getting a reimbursement, consider a free test ride.
You Don’t Need to Buy to Try
You don’t need to call a salesman or some toll free number from TV. You don’t even need to do a Google search or check the Yellow Pages. Nope. Instead, the next time you are in a big department, hardware or grocery store, try one of their courtesy scooters. These full size, heavy duty scooters are usually kept up front by the grocery carts.
Don’t Feel Guilty About Your First Time
If this is your first time trying a scooter, you might feel a little guilty. What if someone comes along who needs it more than you do? So, only take a scooter if there are two or more available. That’s one for you, and one for the next guy.
Try it. Go slow. Watch out you don’t bump into things with that giant basket up front. Then see how you feel when you are done shopping. If you feel rested, or at least not as exhausted as you usually would after roaming around one of those giant stores, a scooter might be right for you. Try it a few more times, then decide if you might like to own a scooter, or if using the store machines is all you need. Your answer will make a huge difference in your physical and financial health, and you can get your answer for FREE.
