Questions to Ask Before You Visit a Chiriaco Summit, 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 Chiriaco Summit, 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 Chiriaco Summit, 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 Chiriaco Summit, 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 Chiriaco Summit, CA

Chiriaco Summit is a small unincorporated community and travel stop located along Interstate 10 in the Colorado Desert of Southern California. It lies 19 miles (31 km) west of Desert Center on the divide between the Chuckwalla Valley and the Salton Sea basin at an elevation of 1,706 feet (520 m).

Originally known as Shaver Summit, Chiriaco Summit is the high point of Box Canyon Road, a gravel road that paralleled the Bradshaw Trail from the Coachella Valley to Blythe. The land was purchased by Joe Chiriaco, an entrepreneur from Alabama. After traveling west to attend a college football game in the Rose Bowl in 1925, he decided to stay and found employment with the Los Angeles Bureau of Water and Power (now Los Angeles Department of Water and Power or LADWP). He heard of plans to pave Box Canyon Road, so he purchased Shaver Summit and broke ground on a service station and general store. The hearsay proved true, and on August 15, 1933, the same day that cars began traveling over the brand-new U.S. Route 60, Shaver Summit was open for business.

Even more bustle came to the area when construction began on the Colorado River Aqueduct in the mid-1930s. This project of epic scale, which brought water to Riverside from Lake Havasu, tunneled through the mountains north of town. Joe worked on the project as a surveyor. Around this time, he met his wife, Ruth, a nurse from the Coachella Valley.

In 1942, Joe had an unlikely visitor - General George S. Patton. Patton had the daunting task of training a million men to endure the harsh conditions of the Sahara in northern Africa, and he had found the right place - 18,000 square miles (47,000 km²) of Mojave and Colorado Desert - the entire southeast corner of California and part of Arizona. The area would be known as the California/Arizona Maneuver Area (CAMA). Patton chose a site a mile east of Shaver Summit to establish the headquarters of his operation, Camp Young. During the time the base was active, Joe was visited by countless soldiers who were drawn “like bees to blossoms” to his well-stocked general store. Operations were conducted until 1944, when the Allies declared victory in the Sahara.
