Talking To A Mobility Scooter Store Salesperson

Stick To Your Scooter Guns!

October 1, 2007

The most important piece of advice that we can give you in regards to dealing with a mobility scooter store salesperson is to not be intimidated. Salesmen in most mobility scooter stores are by nature, pushy individuals, and when it comes to something as personal as a scooter, you certainly don't want anyone pushing you into buying something that you don't really want. Other motivations will cause a store sales persons to push a store sale onto you, like a large commission or store sales quota. Keep in mind that none of these issues are your problems, and you are under no obligation to manifest them through your wallet.

When a store salesman asks what you're looking for, tell him that you're looking for a compact electric 3 wheel or 4 wheel scooter. Tell the store salesperson the kind of features that you'd like the disability travel scooter to have. The store salesman should be able to direct you towards a few available light, folding models that have the features you're looking for.

Once you see the kind of choices that you have, ask the store salesman about the overall satisfaction with the battery-operated products that you're being shown. In addition, ask about manufacturer's warranties and servicing. The store salesman may not have the answers to every one of your questions, but he or she should be able to direct you toward a resource for more information in this situation. Continue on and ask about the store's return policy.

You can help your store salesman help you by doing a little homework before entering the store. Spend a little time online researching personal medical scooters available, remembering brand names, and getting a good sense of what to expect in an accepted price range. Your knowledge may even help facilitate the store's sale and minimize the need for the store salesman to explain minor things that you would already know from doing your homework.
