Invacare Scooters have a big portion of the international scooter market. They offer mobility scooters across the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia. The company has been in business producing vehicles for disabled individuals since 1885. They began as the Worthington Company and went on to evolve into Invacare during the 1970s. Their motto is, "Yes, you can," which encompasses what the company believes in and what they try to achieve through their line of personal mobility products.

There are four types of scooters that Invacare offers. They offer the Comet, the Orion, the Leo, and the Lynx.

Of the four, the Comet is the most renowned because it won the Rehacare Design Award for good design in 2008. The Rehacare Fair is an annual, international event that offers such awards to high quality medical equipment such as mobility scooters. If you like a little outside validation in order to trust a company with your care, this award might well help you feel very comfortable with an Invacare that you might choose.

 

Invacare also offers a light weight knee walker. If you've had an injury below the knee and want a cost effective alternative to a full electric mobility scooter, the knee walker might be just the right option for you.

Their scooters have front, rear, and all wheel drive options. That means you can choose the sort of driving experience that is the most comfortable for you. They also offer "flat free" foam filled tires, which means that you can have just a little more peace of mind when you're out traveling in your scooter. Flats are bad enough on cars-you wouldn't want one on your mobility scooter-so this is an outstanding benefit of working with the Invacare scooters over other brands that are out there.

Invacare has made some news lately by making a break with a dealer known as The Scooter Store. They did so because the Scooter Store took a political stand on allowing competitive billing for the rehab industry. Invacare felt like competitive bidding hurt patients, so they passed up the money and withdrew their stock. This shows Invacare and keeps the best interests of their customers at heart, even if you don't find yourself agreeing with their political views. If that kind of integrity is a reassurance to you that steps beyond design awards or product specs like turning radius or weight capacity, the Invacare might be the right scooter brand for you. It also acts as a sort of positive endorsement for the dealers Invacare continues to do business with.

There are lots of considerations that come into play when you purchase a mobility scooter. If you find yourself confused by all of the options, you should contact a personal mobility advisor. These professionals are good at helping you identify the lifestyle issues and deeper concerns which will impact which Scooter company you really want to work with. If it's Invacare, your personal mobility advisor can then help you narrow down which model will be the absolute right choice for you. If you have any doubts, contact someone who can help you.
