The is PSA to all. When talking to professionals about medical mobility equipment, using proper terminology is important. For example, when describing your mobility device. A Scooter will be either 3 or 4 wheeled (not including the small, black anti-tip wheels) and is steered using handle bars and a thumb throttle. A Power Chair will have at least 4 wheels, usually more, and be controlled using a joystick. I hope this helps. Let me know if there are other terminologies you are a little confused about. 💚
