Thanks for reading!

My husband walks short distances (around the house) with a walker, but for longer distances needs a mobility scooter. I wonder how your travels went as far as sidewalk ramps and roll-in showers at the hotels etc. Also, any suggestions on how to arrange rental of a mobility scooter would be great. My husband works for a big corporation, so their travel staff will book the flight and hotel for us, but then it’s on us to make sure things will actually work, accessibility-wise, and we don’t speak or read Swedish, so any advice would be great!

Thanks!!

While it’s definitely my inclination to say that scooters are available in Europe, the availability and how easy they are to use will to depend a very great deal on what areas you travel through. I have definitely seen mobility scooters in the United Kingdom and would venture to say that most public transit options accommodate them; but conditions vary from country to country and from region to region. If you have more information on your travel plans, I can definitely look into it for you; otherwise, check back soon for a future post where I’ll try to do a country-by-country breakdown on scooters.
