I have cerebral Palsy and I am looking at getting a scooter, but have no idea where to go or what to buy. I want something that is able to travel long distance good brand quality something that will last obviously price is a factor I am on a DSP depending on quality and performance I am looking at 1000-2000 maybe a little more , any help/ advice would be appreciated.
If you want a place to do some initial research, the Independent Living Centres Australia (ILCA, a collective organisation providing independent advice), and the equivalent state organisations (eg. ILC NSW) are a good start.
For example, the following ILC NSW link provides info on Powered Scooters (available products, specifications, retail prices, list of suppliers)…
