“I had a meeting outside the hospital. As I went out, my front wheel went into a hole in the sidewalk and I almost tipped over. Now that I have a scooter with Active Stabilizer Wheels I don’t need to worry about tipping over sideways. The stabilizers are a great invention and should be on all 3-wheel scooters to prevent accidental tip-overs”
Serious injuries and accidents are a problem
for 3-wheel scooters because they are inherently prone to tipping! Since 1968, when mobility scooters were first introduced as an option to manual wheelchairs and electric powerchairs, users have tipped them over sideways. Research indicates over 25,000 people a year get injured.*
