Questions to Ask Before You Visit a Beaumont, CA Mobility Scooter Retailer

Whether you’ve been diagnosed with a disease, you’ve been involved in an accident that has left you disabled, or you are just getting on in years and you’re slowing down and having a harder time walking or standing for prolonged periods of time, you might be thinking about getting a senior mobility scooter. Good for you! A mobility scooter will make getting around Riverside County (or wherever else you plan on using it) a lot easier, safer, and more enjoyable. It’s important to note, however, that you don’t want to just jump in and buy the first model you find. Instead, you want to do your research and take some key factors into consideration so that you can be sure you make the right choice.

To make selecting the right model for you an easier task, here’s a look at some important questions you should ask yourself when you visit a Beaumont, CA mobility scooter retailer.

How will I be using the senior mobility scooter?

First things first: you want to consider exactly how you intend on using the electric scooter. Will you be using it mainly indoors (around the house and in stores), and on evenly paved walkways and footpaths? Are you going to be using it mostly outdoors on rugged, uneven terrains? Do you intend on traveling with the electric scooter? Knowing how you plan on using the scooter is crucial. There are several different models available; some that should really only be used indoors or on smoothly paved surfaces only, others that are best suited for outdoors, and still other models that can be used both outdoors and in. If you purchase a model that isn’t made to be used how you intend on using it, well, you won’t get a whole lot of use out of it.

How much do I weigh?

Senior mobility scooters have weight limit capacities, so you’re definitely going to want to know how much you weigh. If you aren’t really sure, weigh yourself before you head out to a Beaumont, CA mobility scooter store. If you weigh 275 pounds but you purchase a senior mobility scooter that has a maximum weight capacity of 225 pounds, you could be looking at trouble. The scooter won’t be able to move as quickly, the battery could end up being drained of power more rapidly, and the overall life expectancy of the scooter could be shortened; not to mention the fact that your safety could be compromised.

How tall are you?

Your weight isn’t the only dimension that matters when you’re shopping for a senior mobility scooter; so does your height. If you purchase a scooter that’s designed to accommodate individuals who are shorter than you, you’ll end up being cramped, which can result in some pretty serious discomfort. As such, before you head out to a Beaumont, CA mobility scooter store, make sure you have a pretty good idea of how tall you are; within at least an inch or two of your actual height.

How much can I afford to spend?

Mobility scooters for seniors can vary widely in price. Generally speaking, the larger and more powerful the model and the more features it boasts, the more expensive it’s going to be. You don’t want to end up falling in love with a scooter, only to find out that the price tag is way outside of your comfort zone. On the topic of price, check with your insurance to find out if it will cover your motorized scooter, and if so, how much the policy will cover and what the out-of-pocket expense will be for you.

Some information about Beaumont, CA

Beaumont is a city in Riverside County, California, United States, located at the summit of the San Gorgonio Pass, between the San Bernardino Mountains and Mount San Gorgonio to the north, and the San Jacinto Mountains and San Jacinto Peak to the south. Early native American inhabitants included the Serrano and Cahuilla people, who still live on reservation lands in the area.

Beaumont, French for “Beautiful Mountain”, received its name in 1887 from Henry C. Sigler, president of the Southern California Investment Company, for its view of Mount San Jacinto.

The Smith Ranch in Beaumont was purchased in 1884. A large three-story house was erected and used as a hotel called the Highland Home Hotel.

During the early 1850s, several surveying parties passed through the vicinity of present-day Beaumont in search of a pass that would connect the east to the Pacific Ocean. The San Gorgonio Pass was first surveyed in 1853 during an expedition under Lieutenant R.S. Williamson, who was sent by the United States government. Its location enthralled many who now saw that connecting to the ocean was a feasible measure and led to plans for constructing a railway from the Missouri River to the Pacific. By the early 1860s, stagecoach lines were providing service through the pass area, and a stage stop was established, named Edgar Station, after a physician from one of the expedition parties who made his home in the area.

In 1875 when the Southern Pacific Railroad laid tracks through the modern-day location of Beaumont, they established a rail station named Summit Station. This served as a rest stop for railway travelers from the Mojave Desert on their way to the Los Angeles vicinity. In 1884 a real estate development company established a town named San Gorgonio. A second real estate development company purchased the town in 1887 and renamed the town Beaumont, which was incorporated on November 18, 1912.
