Some times the terms are used interchangeably. Usually motorized scooters are for people who have some mobility whereas electric wheel chairs can be for those with very limited or no mobility. People use the words motorized scooters and electric scooters interchangeably. The idea is that, motorized scooters are propelled under some other means other than the person’s own strength. As with motorized scooters, motorized wheel chairs, power wheelchairs, or electric wheel chairs the terms are used interchangeably. Motorized scooters and electric wheel chairs serve different purposes and different options should be considered when making a choice between motorized scooters and electric wheel chairs. Manual wheel chairs usually have some type of push handles that allow a person standing behind the wheel chair to propel and steer the wheel chair. Propelling the motorized wheel chair involves moving the wheel chair. All motorized scooters are more likely to handle curbs, ramps, uneven surfaces and even hills better than a manual wheel chair. A great deal of strength is required to maneuver these surfaces under ones own power (for example in a manual wheel chair). Therefore the motorized scooter provides excellent assistance in traveling over these surfaces. Most motorized scooters or wheel chairs have a seat belt to assist the person with limited control to stay in the wheel chair. There are also many positioning products on the market and help the person in a wheel chair either to be positioned properly, limit leaning, or to support some body part, such as legs or arms. There are also positioning products for those who have little or no head control.
