Results We propose three areas of research that focus on mobility scooter use by older people: (1) research involving users – impacts on older people employing mobility scooters; (2) studying the impact on urban space public spaces and passageways used as travel routes, the barriers impeding travel and lack of appropriate parking solutions in the urban environment; and (3) issues of safety mobility scooter driving and travel regulations and infrastructure design regulations. These include: the impacts on those who adopt mobility scooters into their lifestyle, potential implications for urban and transportation planning, and impacts on enacting laws and regulations pertaining to the safety of those operating and riding mobility scooters, as well as those surrounding them.	./cache/cord-273612-o746vjrn.txt	./txt/cord-273612-o746vjrn.txt
