Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between 3-wheel and 4-wheel scooters?
3-wheel scooters have a tighter turning radius, making them better for indoor use and navigating tight spaces. 4-wheel scooters offer more stability and are better suited for outdoor terrain, uneven surfaces, and longer distances.
Does ADP cover mobility scooters?
Mobility Specialties is an ADP registered vendor: we check what ADP and other programs may cover and show your share first. We prepare the quote and the vendor section of the application.
Can I take a mobility scooter on an airplane?
Yes, we sell airline-approved travel scooters that can be disassembled or folded for air travel. Look for portable scooters with lithium-ion batteries under 300Wh that meet airline regulations. Ask us about travel-friendly options.
How fast do mobility scooters go?
Most mobility scooters have a top speed of 6-8 km/h (4-5 mph), which is a comfortable walking pace. Some full-size outdoor scooters can reach 12-15 km/h. Speed can be adjusted with a dial for safety in crowded areas.
How far can a mobility scooter travel on one charge?
Range depends on battery size and terrain. Compact travel scooters typically go 15-20 km per charge. Full-size scooters with larger batteries can travel 30-45 km. Hills, user weight, and temperature affect range.
Can I use a mobility scooter in stores and malls?
Yes, mobility scooters are welcome in most stores, malls, and public places. Compact 3-wheel and 4-wheel scooters are designed for indoor use with tight turning radius. Many users bring their scooter shopping, to appointments, and to events.
Do I need a license to drive a mobility scooter?
No, you do not need a drivers license to operate a mobility scooter in Ontario. Scooters are classified as mobility aids, not vehicles. However, you should follow sidewalk rules and be considerate of pedestrians.
What is a folding or portable mobility scooter?
Folding scooters collapse quickly for transport in a car trunk. They are lightweight (30-60 lbs), airline-approved, and ideal for travel. While they have smaller batteries and less range than full-size scooters, they offer excellent portability.
Is there an income limit for ADP?
No. ADP has no income test: Ontario residents with a valid health card and a qualifying long-term physical disability may be eligible. Mobility Specialties is an ADP registered vendor: we check what ADP and other programs may cover and show your share first.
How often can I get new equipment through ADP?
ADP sets a usage period for each device type; for example, a wheelchair is usually replaced no sooner than every five years. After the usage period you may qualify for a replacement if you still need the device, and sooner if your needs change significantly.
Can I upgrade my ADP equipment?
Yes. You can choose features beyond what ADP approves and pay the difference. You pay your share plus the cost of any upgrades, and we show you both before anything is ordered.
What documents do I need for ADP application?
You need a valid Ontario health card and an assessment by an ADP authorizer (usually an occupational or physical therapist). The application has sections for you, for the authorizer and for us as the ADP registered vendor; your authorizer will tell you if a physician also needs to sign. We guide you through gathering everything.
