Can I bring my mobility scooter on a cruise ship?

Yes, in addition to airline approval, our mobility scooters are allowed on cruises. If you planning on taking a mobility scooter on a cruise ship we recommend an electric wheelchair like the Zip'r 3 that has a tight turning radius. This will make it easier for you to navigate in and around narrow corridors.

Can I bring a mobility scooter to a sporting event?

Want to watch your kids, grandkids or favorite team at a baseball, football, basketball, tennis or golf event? Mobility scooters and powered wheelchairs are an excellent means to watch your team in person. Plus at the game you’ll have your own seat! Many ballparks and stadiums have special seating for those using wheelchairs. Because of the ADA, venues need to be accessible to those with disabilities, including mobility impairments. Stadiums must offer accessible seating, parking options, elevators to accommodate fans and spectators using power scooters. 

If you plan on taking your travel scooter to the ballpark, we recommend browsing accessories that will make your experience all the more enjoyable. Extra storage to hold your wallet, phone, keys, and other accessories nearby makes things a lot less stressful when supporting your team.
