Hudson, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/19/2011 -- Top Mobility, leaders of scooter retail online, is proud to announce one of the most powerful three-wheel scooters in their inventory, the Merits Pioneer 9 Heavy Duty Scooter.

There are few three-wheel scooters that can withstand a high weight, but the Pioneer 9 can hold up to 550 pounds. Whether a user is a bariatric patient or not is irrelevant. Its high weight limit is a testament to their skillful engineering. Oftentimes, heavy duty is a term that refers to four-wheel scooters because it has a differently constructed front end that allows for more weight to be pushed through. However, the finely constructed, yet lightweight front tiller is the driving force behind this scooter. Front-end drive is what propels the scooter and because the tiller is extremely lightweight, it makes the navigation and steering much easier to handle. It also helps that full suspension keeps the scooter well grounded and smooth on the ride. As more weight is applied the weight gets distributed evenly from the seat down to the wheel. This helps the drive train compensate for all the weight that is on the scooter.

This scooter is used for the most demanding scooter user. Regardless of where the scooter is used, the scooter will tackle the surface of a grassy surface all the way to a sandy surface. The strong suspension in the scooter ensures that these surfaces and terrain will be navigated through no matter what the weight of the scooter user is. Suspension is always underrated in scooters, but on the Merits Pioneer 9 Heavy Duty Scooter the suspension is featured the second the scooter takes off. Its raw power is evident making this a wonderful scooter for all its users.

When users think of heavy duty scooters, they often think of a scooter that must require a lift to get onto a vehicle. In this case, the scooter can easily disassemble with a quick disassembly unit. It is simple and it keeps the users safe from using strenuous motions. More travel options are opened up when scooter users can take it on the road with them.

Exterior or interior lifts are unreliable, especially when it comes to heavier scooters. The ability to be disassembled is important so users can travel with it and they can utilize trunk space and other spots in the vehicle. Taking the scooter on airplanes and trains is also made easy.

Safety features are also key to the Merits Pioneer 9 Heavy Duty Scooter. There are rear anti-tip wheels. This helps keep the scooter from shifting its weight unexpectedly, making it easier for users to navigate. The anti-tip wheels make a great complement to the front-end tiller. Coupled with powerful suspension, this scooter maintains perfect balance and is in harmony with the rest of the scooter.

To give users an idea of the power this scooter has, it can go as far as 32 miles. This is a long distance to travel for a three-wheel scooter. The average distance a three-wheel scooter goes is 9 miles. Going farther is helpful in planning out the day.
