Here are the main features of heavy-duty scooters:
1. Weight Capacity: Some Heavy-Duty mobility scooters can accommodate individuals weighing up to 450 lbs (205 kg). This is different from most travel and mid-size scooters which usually feature a weight capacity of 250 lbs (113 kg).
2. Construction: Heavy-Duty scooters are crafted to support a larger passenger weight capacity. They are also built to better handle challenging terrains like cobblestones and outdoors spaces. Sturdier construction means that your mobility scooter will help you navigate the world around you more reliably.
3. Larger Wheels: Heavy Duty scooters feature larger wheels for outdoors use - many of which are pneumatic (air filled) tires. While these tires require more maintenance, they also provide better shock absorption for more comfortable driving.
