History

A Business Built On Caring

Since 1991, The SCOOTER Store has helped people with limited mobility lead more active lives while providing them a level of service and support unmatched in the industry. Starting with a single store dedicated to helping people regain their freedom and independence, The SCOOTER Store has grown into the nation's leading provider of power mobility equipment.
