A mobility scooter is a mobility aid equivalent to a wheelchair but configured like a motorscooter, oftenly referred to as a power-operated vehicle/scooter or electric scooter as well.

A mobility scooter has a seat over three, four or now five wheels, and controlled by a handlebars. Mobility scooters provide important advantages to people with mobility problems throughout the world. A scooter is useful for persons without the stamina or arm/shoulder flexibility necessary to use a manual wheelchair. A mobility scooter is very helpful for persons with systemic or whole-body disabling conditions who are still able to stand and walk a few steps, sit upright without torso support, and control the steering tiller.

A major selling point of mobility scooters for many users is that they do not look like a wheelchair, disability still being seen by many as a negative or somehow shameful. Mobility scooters are in general more affordable than powered wheelchairs, leading to them being procured as a cheaper alternative.
