Modern Scooter Wheelchair General Characteristics

Some modern scooter wheelchairs are equipped with features not present in their earlier scooter wheelchair counterparts -- features such as high-back reclining seats, headlights, tailights, turn signals, and others. Some design improvements with respect to some of their internal components have been made in order to resolve design flaws seen with some earlier scooter wheelchair models.

Modern Scooter Wheelchair Manuevering Characteristics

The modern scooter type wheelchair shares many operating and manuevering characteristics with its earlier counterpart. Therefore, no need exists to repeat the manuevering-related discussion here. The only variance where turning radiuses are concerned depends on how far the front wheel or wheels can be turned and also upon the length of the scooter wheelchair itself.
