Our Scooter Link customers often have many questions before purchasing medical equipment, so we thought we'd answer the most frequently asked questions (FAQ) here on our web site. If you have a question that is not answered here, please don't hesitate to call us TOLL FREE at 888-910-0444.
Along with the power wheelchairs, mobility scooters, wheelchair lifts and lift chairs pictured on our Web site, we also carry a full line of hospital beds, patient lifts, geriatric chairs, manual wheelchairs, and walkers. We also specialize in Bariatric, (Heavy Weight Capacity) medical equipment and furniture. Please don't hesitate to call us if you are in need of something not listed here. We have a full staff of people who work at locating those hard to find items.
We are proud to say that we have been in business since 1991 and on the internet since 1995. We have worked with customers all over the country since that time. We have also created a large family of Network Dealers ready to service all our equipment in any part of the country. This means if you live in California and you need service, we will send out a repair dealer. But If you go on vacation to New York and need service, we will send out a Network Dealer in New York. Wherever you need service, you have one number to call - 888-910-0444
No, we are not associated with The Scooter Store. We are a family owned and operated company working with the uninsured since 1999. We help customers afford equipment often necessary to sustain or improve their quality of life. We do not submit claims to Medicare or Medicaid and do not "inflate" our prices. Our policy and goal is to have the lowest price for the uninsured while working directly with our customers. Again, we are not associated with The Scooter Store in any way.
An electric wheelchair has a joystick that works your speed and direction. A mobility scooter will have what is called a driving tiller. The driving tiller has something you grip with both hands or one to steer with. The tiller also has forward and reverse thumb levers built in and with a special tiller (called a delta tiller), your forward and reverse are applied by squeezing just your fingers as you grip the tiller. Although many people are used to having something to grip to steer with, a joystick (such as what is found on an electric wheelchair) is extremely easy to maneuver once a person gets used to it. In addition an electric wheelchair works much better in a home to get through doors and around furniture. The smaller your home, the more it makes sense that an electric wheelchair is your best bet if your usage is primarily in the home. For outside use only, an electric scooter is perfect. While electric scooters work great outside, you will want to make sure that you pick a scooter that works for your size, weight and the terrain you will be using it for. You will also find that electric wheelchairs work well outside. Again, you will want to make sure that you pick a wheelchair that works for your size, weight and the terrain you will be using it for. Your Scooter Link representative can help you make the right decision. 888-910-0444

Absolutely. Although the average weight capacity for medical equipment is between 200 and 300 lbs., we offer a full line of products for people who weigh more. The term associated with this type of equipment is "bariatric" and can be found throughout our site. The industry has developed numerous products to meet the needs of the many people who require plus size equipment.
If you charge your equipment at night, it should be fully charged in the morning and ready for 4 to 6 hours of continuous driving time. This should get you through the day with no problem. If you do not use your equipment for a long period of time, you should still charge it at least once a week. If your batteries go completely dead, the charger will not come on and you may need to put some charge into the batteries with another source until your onboard charger goes on. If your batteries stay dead for a long period of time, it can ruin them. The older your batteries get, the shorter your driving time. The average life expectancy of your batteries is one to two years.
