But if the scooter model is portable and small size, it is more convenient to put into car, and less space to store.
It is not much different for the places to use 3 wheel or 4 wheel mobility scooter. In some narrow places, 3 wheel is of better performance for turning left or right as it has a bigger turning angle.
what about 4 wheel mobility scooters? The stability is the advantage, as 4 wheels makes it bigger size and heavy body. The mas speed is also normally limited to 10-15km/h, while 3 wheels can be 25-35km/h.
