Ground clearance on your scooter will determine whether or not it will work within your preferred
environment. Without enough ground clearance, your scooter could get stuck on the thresholds in
doorways. Many scooters have around 2” of clearance, but some have closer to 4”+. High ground
clearance isn’t necessary for most people, as many public buildings are already optimized to
accommodate small electric vehicles. However, if you’re getting a mobility scooter for use in
your home, you should look carefully at the features of your home that could be a problem. If
you have a problem threshold in your home, you may be able to modify it fairly inexpensively so
that a typical scooter will still work.
