Questions to Ask Before You Visit a Blythe, 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 Blythe, 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 Blythe, 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 Blythe, 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 Blythe, CA

Blythe is a city in eastern Riverside County, California, United States. It is in the Palo Verde Valley of the Lower Colorado River Valley region, an agricultural area and part of the Colorado Desert along the Colorado River, approximately 224 miles (360 km) east of Los Angeles and 150 miles (240 km) west of Phoenix. Blythe was named after Thomas Henry Blythe, a San Francisco financier, who established primary water rights to the Colorado River in the region in 1877. The city was incorporated on July 21, 1916. The population was 20,817 at the 2010 census.

Blythe was named after Thomas Henry Blythe, a San Francisco businessman and entrepreneur. Mr. Blythe established primary water rights to the Colorado River in the southwestern California region in 1877. The town was originally named Blythe City, by Thomas Blythe himself, but the name was shortened to simply Blythe around the time the first post office was opened in 1908.

Route in 1930

In the early or mid-1870s, William Calloway (known as Oliver Calloway in some sources), an engineer and a former captain of the 1st California Infantry Regiment, explored an area across the Colorado River from Ehrenberg, Arizona, and found its potential for development. Calloway made preliminary surveys and filed land claims under the Swamp Land Act of 1850. He interested the wealthy San Francisco Capitalist Thomas Henry Blythe (originally born Thomas Williams in Mold, Wales) to undertake development and settlement of an “empire” located next to the Colorado. Together they purchased a total of 140,000 acres under the Swamp Land Act, and another 35,000 acres under the Desert Land Act of 1877.

On July 17, 1877, Blythe filed his first claim for Colorado River water on what was to become the “Blythe Intake”. Blythe appointed another man named George Irish as manager to assist Calloway in building an irrigation system. Calloway died in a Chemehuevi attack on March 28, 1880, and was replaced by C.C. Miller, the father of Frank Augustus Miller. Thomas Blythe died on April 4, 1883; his only revisit to the valley was in November 1882. After his death, the work in the valley halted and Blythe’s estate subsequently went into litigation between his illegitimate daughter Florence and other claimants, the trial beginning in 1889. In the 1900s, Florence was awarded the estate, after several years of preceding rulings in favor of her and appeals against her.
