They might have also made up their minds to install permanent access ramps in their homes to help them travel over raised areas such as the steps of their homes. To do so, it would be best for them to obtain professional advice to sort out things like the height of the obstacle and the incline that can be traversed by their scooters.

However, they may still come across situations or traffic areas that may prevent them from progressing further on their scooters. These circumstances may be in the form of stairs, kerbs or rough surface levels on roads and sidewalks. In these situations, they may have to use portable scooter access ramps if they wish to continue their journey without asking anyone for assistance.

There is a big range of access ramps available on the market that are perfect for all the above situations, as well as for moving around in split-level homes when visiting, and in the loading and unloading of their own scooters from vehicles. These access ramps can be transported with them on their scooters and are available as threshold ramps to help them move over small obstacles such as cracks and sliding door grooves; light-weight and easily transportable telescopic access ramps for stairs and other similar obstacles; and the roll-up types for easy mobility and stashing in their scooter's storage compartments.

Before actually purchasing a portable slope, it is advisable to get as much information as possible on the characteristics of the different types of access ramps available, and how these characteristics meet the particular requirements of the buyer. If Internet access is available, a comparison of the characteristics provided by the different makes and models and their prices will provide an idea of which particular slope would give the best return on investment.
