There are people you’ve been meaning to visit and sites you been meaning to see, but chances are…the list just keeps getting longer because it’s not so easy for you to get out and about.

Trying out a Pride Go-Go Mobility Scooter for yourself will help you experience just how much more life mobility like this could open up for you.

We’d love for you to come by and try one out, but just as a little preview, here’s the top 4 reasons we think everyone should try out a Go-Go mobility scooter for themselves:

Ever get to a clothing store with something specific in mind and get frustrated with the lack of options?

What about heading to the video game store and they don’t have the newest releases you’ve been dying for?

Lack of variety is the worst! But one thing we love about the Pride Go-Go Mobility Scooter is they have thought of just about everything in designing their different types of scooters!

For instance, depending on the type of terrain you’ll be on most of the time, you’ll find a huge difference between 4-wheel mobility scooters and 3-wheel scooters, but Pride has several models in both of these options to pick from!

But what about those of you who like to see the world?

Here’s the thing:

Pride realizes that your scooter may not just be taking you down the sidewalk in your local neighborhood. There are road-trips to take, family reunions to head to, new babies to visit, and beautiful places on your bucket list to see; all places that are probably a little too far for you to get to on your scooter (as great as it is.)

Because of this Pride has models that come apart or fold up in various ways for easy storage and travel. For instance the Pride Mobility S19 Go-Go Folding Scooter folds up into a snug compact version of itself in just 3 easy steps! 

Yeah.

For those who love to travel the world this makes voyaging dreams come true.

I know you were already dreaming of driving your Go-Go scooter clear to Aunt Julie’s house across country for her fresh baked pie, but hold on! We don’t recommend you take it out as a road-trip vehicle, (and besides, think of all the mosquitoes you’d collect in your hair!) however, Pride Mobility scooters have durable long-lasting batteries, that can hold a charge from anywhere from 5.9 to 12.5 miles!

This makes life so much more convenient, because you’ll be able to use it consistently throughout the week, or on vacations, without having to charge it up all the time!

Here’s the truth:

Pride Mobility Scooters are the highest rated online, and nationally for their reliability.

And we think that’s the top thing you’d want to hear if you’re looking at making a wise investment. Investing in something that will ease and brighten your life is a great idea, but only if you know it’ll last.

With all the new equipment and technology coming out these days, many things look new and shiny, but it’s the brands that have been around year after year and still have a track record of reliability that are worth the investment.

And guess what:

Pride has been around and thriving for over 30 years now.

Now that’s a track record.

Is a standing power chair the right choice for your life?

If these awesome machines have been on your radar, you probably have tons of questions before you buy:

Is it right for my lifestyle? 

Will it work with my current living situation? 

What are the pros and cons?

We made it super easy for you to grab the facts and decide whether or not a standing power chair is right for you.

Here’s a list of pros and cons of standing power chairs to help you make the best decision for your life and needs:

A sitting position inflicts pressure on your back that is released when you rise to a standing position. As described by SpineHealth.com:

“Sitting puts pressure on the discs, causing low back pain to worsen after sitting for long periods of time.”

A standing power chair is an effective way to help release the pressure in your lower back throughout the day; easing or preventing reoccurring pain in your lower back.

We all know blood is what keeps us alive, but did you know this:

One of the biggest benefits of a standing power chair is increased blood circulation throughout the whole body.

As the body reaches the standing position, the blood flows more seamlessly into all the limbs, thereby bringing oxygen into all extremities and strengthening muscles, arteries, and heart.

Remember all those milk commercials that claimed milk built strong bones? Well, maybe it does. But another thing that builds strong bones is movement!

Bone strength is directly related to body movement:

When bones are moved and used they are strengthened, and a standing power chair creates just the opportunity for this movement, keeping your bones strong and healthy for years to come.

Many recent studies show just how vital digestion is to our overall health.

Staying seated for long periods of time also has a large effect on your digestive system. Elongating the body into a standing position from time to time has a drastic impact on the digestive tract, freeing it up and promoting better digestion.  

If you’ve been noticing increasing issues with your digestion or stomach, this benefit alone might be a good reason to make this important investment.

People care about people, and social interaction is core to overall health!

It may seem less important than the aforementioned health benefits, but is probably just as vital. Positive social interaction will affect self-confidence and relationships in a way that will improve mood, and therefore, overall physical health.

A standing power chair reinforces your independence by giving you the ability to take more ownership of your daily needs. This machine helps you reach things commonly used in daily life and reduces frustration throughout your day. 

Because of the need for a sufficient counterweight to keep you stable when raised to the standing position, the base of a standing power chair can be a bit bulkier than power chairs that do not extend in the same way.

While medical insurance may be a viable option for many other medical equipment needs, most insurance companies don’t cover standing power chairs, so a different financing option may be required for this investment.

Although standing power chairs are very sturdy in their upright position, they are still not meant to be driven over uneven surfaces when fully extended. For this reason, they are best qualified for smooth or even surfaces.

Because of their advanced design standing power chairs can be pricey to maintain, however, if you invest in one with an in-home warranty attached, you can get the incredible benefit of free in-home repairs!

While we hope this list helps clarify what this investment could mean for you, there is nothing like trying a power chair out for yourself! If you live in or around Los Angeles California, we encourage you to come try out a power chair for free!

Everyone is different, and we’d love to address your unique questions, concerns and potential customizations to make the chair a perfect fit for you.

And to make things even simpler:

For our local friends, we even offer a free home inspection to ensure your new power chair will be compatible with your current living arrangement! 

The last thing you’d want is to make a great investment, only to discover it conflicts with the layout or accessibility of your home- but we’ll assess all that for you and give our professional opinion free of charge!
