Mobility scooter

A mobility scooter is an electric personal transporter used as mobility aid for people with physical impairment, mostly auxiliary to a powered wheelchair but configured like a motorscooter. When motorized, they function as micromobility devices and are commonly referred to as a powered vehicle/scooter or electric scooter. A motorized mobility scooter may also be referred to as an electric convenience vehicle or electric conveyance vehicle (ECV).

Non-motorized mobility scooters are less common, but are intended for the estimated 60% of wheelchair users who have at least some use of their legs.
While leg issues are commonly assumed to be the reason for using scooters, the vehicles are used by those with a wide range of conditions, from spinal injuries to neurological disorders.
