When it comes to choosing the best 3 wheel mobility scooter for your needs, youâve probably already realized there are A LOT of options! So, how do you decide which is the best mobility scooter? This Shoprider Echo Light Weight 3 Wheel Mobility Scooter SL73 review will dive deep into this mobility scooter's top features to help you decide if itâs the perfect scooter for you. This 3 wheel scooter offers numerous benefits, including:Â
Light Weight Frame
When you set out to buy a mobility scooter, you probably didnât put too much thought into how much it weighs, right? I mean, all adult scooters should be light weight and easy to move.Â
BUT thatâs not always the case. Get a poorly designed mobility scooter and youâll quickly feel like you're carting around a sled of lead! This leads to quickly drained batteries and a lot of headaches.
Lucky for us all, the Shoprider Echo 3 Wheel Mobility Scooter is built in a unique way to promote high performance with its light weight frame and strong battery life.Â
Unlike other mobility scooters that are built with cheap materials, Shoprider's mobility scooter is thoughtfully built with materials that are light weight and functional. If you put this scooter on a scale, you'd quickly see it in comes in at a whopping 70 lbs. Now that's light!
Â
Easy Disassembly
Have you ever tried to take a part a mobility scooter to put up for storage or load in to the car? It can quickly get overwhelming and feel like you're disassembling a rubik's cube.
You don't have to buy an adult scooter that makes you feel this way.
The Shoprider Echo 3 Wheel Mobility Scooter is designed with you in mind. This scooter is fast and easy to dissemble into three pieces; with the heaviest part weighing just 35 lbs. You can have it broken down and on your way within 10 minutes. Â
Â
Comfortably Designed
There's nothing more uncomfortable than riding all day on a mobility scooter with either your knees crunched to your chest or your feet just barely touching the floor. It leads to aching backs, tight hips, beat up knees, and overall poor posture.
While most of the industry thinks it's okay to have a one size fits all seat and no suspension, Shoprider knows that's not healthy.Â
The Shoprider Echo 3 Wheel Adult Scooter is built with your comfort in mind. This scooter has a wide 18" high back executive seat, that is very comfortable and adjustable front to back. The arms of the chair are height adjustable so you can be sure it'll fit snug on your elbows. The suspension system is top notch so you won't even notice riding over small rocks or bumpy terrain.
The Shoprider Echo wants you to feel like you're riding in your lounge chair at home, and it does a really good job of helping you feel that way!
Enhanced Handling
Safety is the most important factor when purchasing a mobility scooter. And having a scooter that is hard to control is the number one reason why accidents happen. If the scooter is too complex or poorly designed, then the risk of injury increases substantially.
Shoprider has been in business for decades, and they know the importance of an easy to control scooter with only the necessities provides the perfect blend of handling and performance.Â
The Shoprider Echo uses the T-Bar handle that easily controls a safe and effective electromagnetic braking system. The controls are simple and quick to figure out. No more worrying what a certain button does and how it will effect your ride.
The Echo features exclusive flat free tires with an adjustable tiller angle that helps you quickly adjust to climbing small hills of up to 6° in grade. It also has a moderately high ground clearance of 1.5 inches so you can easily ride over most surfaces.
Bottom line: you can feel confident knowing that you have a very safe and easily controlled mobility scooter for you to enjoy.
Made in the USA
Decades ago, youâd never hear the phrases âmobility scooterâ and âmade in Americaâ in the same sentence. It just didnât make sense; the worlds were too far apart.
But Shoprider didnât think so.
They knew they could build a superior mobility scooter using American made materials and craftsmanship here in the states.Â
So they set out to do just that. And Shoprider was born!
All of Shoprider's mobility scooters are built here in America using USA-sourced materials to ensure safe and reliable products. Every scooter is engineered to withstand the extreme temperatures of the United States vast climates, so you can feel confident knowing your scooter will last in any season.
So enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing no company is as committed to sourcing, building and testing genuine made-in-the-USAÂ scooters than Shoprider.
The Shoprider Echo 3 Wheel Mobility Scooter SL73 has a travel range of 8 miles per charge.
