Choosing a mobility scooter for an elderly parent
Buying for your mother or father? Here's how to choose a scooter they will actually use, and how we help you decide together, even if you live in another city.
Questions to ask first
Start with their day, not the spec sheet.
Four questions decide most of it.
- Where will they ride?
Pavements, shops, the park, cobblestones? Short trips or a whole afternoon out?
- Where will it live?
A hallway, a lift, a car boot? The eTricycle 2 folds to 58 × 58 cm.
- Who will lift it?
It weighs 23 kg. Folding is easy; lifting it into a car is a job for two people, or someone strong.
- Will they like it?
Many people refuse a scooter that looks medical. The eTricycle 2 looks like a vehicle you chose.

FAQ
Questions from families.
How do I choose a mobility scooter for my elderly mother or father?
Start with their day: where they want to go, where the scooter will be stored, and who will lift it. Then let them try it at home before anyone buys.
Can I order for my parent from another city or country?
Yes. You can book and pay for them. Tell us where they live and we arrange the delivery and the introduction.
What if they don't like it?
Try it first with a free home trial or a rental. A new eTricycle 2 also comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee.
Is there financial support?
Read our guide to mobility aid subsidies in Estonia. You can also lease or pay in instalments for them.
What happens when their needs change?
We buy the vehicle back. See buy-back.
