1.Your size, disability, strength, balance and coordination.

2.Your intended use, and your level of activity.

3.The types of hazards you must overcome in daily use (in areas where you are likely to use your scooter).

4.The need for options for your safety and comfort (such as positioning belts or special seat systems).
