I'm thinking about getting an electric wheelchair or scooter to go around town in.

I have some for a fair price on Amazon, but they require assembly. I've checked local medical suppliers and the prices are through the roof. Any one have tips & tricks for getting an electric scooter? TIA.

1. Check with your insurance provider

Hopefully, they havs pre-approved vendors.

Good luck!

2. They won't pay for it. Medicare or the VA requires that I can no longer walk.

I can shuffle along for a few hundred meters. The pain is killing me.

3. I'm so sorry to hear they won't pay for it

I'm sorry, but I have no other ideas for you, except to try calling your local senior center & council on aging & ask them.

Also, maybe you could get a techie high school or college student to put it together for you as a community service project.

Best of luck to you.

4. I'm thinking about an ebike.

I could drive it to the food store.

6. Thanks. I have bad arthritis throughout my body the last thing I can ride on is a e-bike.

5. If your county has a council on aging I'd check

with them. May be able to pick up a nice used one.
