For nearly 90 years, Consumer Reports has been one of the most respected product testing organizations in the United States. Their reputation is built on independent laboratory testing, strict editorial standards, and unbiased reporting. When Consumer Reports evaluates a product category, it typically subjects products to controlled lab testing and detailed scoring across multiple performance criteria.
Recently, Consumer Reports expanded its testing to include power mobility scooters, an important category of medical mobility equipment that helps seniors and individuals with mobility challenges maintain independence.
Overview of the Consumer Reports testing:

• Pride Go Go Elite Traveller 2 Platinum Scooter — Overall Score: 81
Both scooters earned the CR Recommended designation and ranked above the other models included in Consumer Reports’ lab testing.

Proven Designs From Established Manufacturers
Both top-rated scooters come from manufacturers with decades of experience in mobility equipment: Drive Medical and Pride Mobility.
Both models have been on the market for more than a decade and have been refined over many years.
After the Top Two, the Others Are Risky Bets
After these two highly rated models, many of the remaining scooters in the Consumer Reports testing come from relatively new brands with limited long-term track records.
For mobility equipment that people rely on daily, serviceability and parts availability are extremely important.
