For those patients that need a mobility scooter, but weigh more than the standard limit of 250 pounds, other types of scooters are available. Plus size, or heavy duty, mobility scooters are available for larger individuals, with weight ranges from limits of 350 pounds to 500 pounds. These scooters are ideal for bariatric patients who are unable to move about freely because of their size. Most companies make scooters in this higher capacity style, with some companies such as Pride mobility scooter offering full ranges of styles in their heavy duty scooters. The higher capacity mobility scooters come in both three and four wheel styles, with a full accompaniment of accessories for their models.
