The Scoot Control is intended to support an attendant in controlling or maneuvering a power wheelchair, inside and outside. It can be connected directly to the wheelchair electronics (R-net), to control the power wheelchair and its functions.
Maneuvering a power wheelchair can sometimes be easier when an attendant or caregiver has direct access to the chair’s controls.
The Scoot Control is designed specifically to support an attendant in controlling and maneuvering a compatible power wheelchair both indoors and outdoors.
Instead of relying solely on the wheelchair user’s primary driving control, the attendant can use the Scoot Control to help guide the power chair when assistance is needed.
The system connects directly to the wheelchair electronics and can provide access to important wheelchair functions.
With its intuitive handlebar, configurable thumb throttles, LED indicators, and compatibility with R-net or LiNX electronics, the Scoot Control provides a practical solution for assisted power wheelchair mobility.
Caregivers and attendants may need to control a power wheelchair in many different situations.
A user may need assistance navigating through a narrow hallway, moving around a busy facility, positioning the wheelchair at a table, or maneuvering outdoors.
The Scoot Control attendant control provides a dedicated steering interface for these situations.
Its design is focused on straightforward operation, helping an attendant control the chair without needing to interact with the user’s primary joystick.
This can be especially useful when the attendant needs to take temporary control of the power wheelchair.
The Scoot Control is intended for use both inside and outside.
Indoors, an attendant may use the controller to maneuver through homes, healthcare environments, offices, schools, stores, and other spaces.
Outdoors, it can provide an additional way for an attendant to help guide a compatible power wheelchair through everyday environments.
The exact performance and maneuverability of any power wheelchair depend on the chair itself, terrain, configuration, and operating conditions.
Users and attendants should always follow the manufacturer’s safety instructions and operate the wheelchair responsibly.
One of the key features of the Scoot Control is its fully proportional handlebar.
Proportional control allows the steering input to correspond to the desired movement, providing a more intuitive control experience.
The handlebar features two rubber handles, creating comfortable gripping points for the attendant.
A familiar handlebar-style interface can make the controller straightforward to understand for caregivers and attendants who need to guide the chair during everyday mobility.
The Scoot Control includes two rubber handles designed to provide practical gripping surfaces.
Comfort can be particularly important for attendants who may need to maneuver a power wheelchair repeatedly throughout the day.
The handlebar design provides a familiar point of contact while keeping the control interface compact.
As with any mobility control, attendants should use a comfortable grip and maintain awareness of the wheelchair’s surroundings while operating the chair. visit the official Permobil makers site
The Scoot Control features two configurable thumb throttles positioned at either side of the handlebar.
These thumb throttles provide another important part of the steering and control interface.
Their configurable nature gives the system additional flexibility when setting up the control according to the needs of the user and attendant.
The positioning of the throttles on both sides can provide convenient access during operation while maintaining the compact handlebar design.
The Scoot Control is more than a basic steering device.
When connected to compatible wheelchair electronics, it provides access to important power wheelchair functions.
These can include:
Having these functions accessible through the attendant control can make everyday wheelchair operation more convenient.
The specific functions available will depend on the wheelchair and its electronic configuration.
The Scoot Control can connect directly to power wheelchairs equipped with R-net electronics.
R-net is used across a range of power wheelchair systems, and compatibility allows the Scoot Control to communicate with the chair’s electronic control system.
This direct connection helps provide access to the wheelchair’s driving and supported functions through the attendant control.
Before ordering or installing the Scoot Control, users should confirm that the specific power wheelchair is equipped with compatible R-net electronics.
The Scoot Control is also compatible with power wheelchairs equipped with LiNX electronics.
This broadens the potential applications of the controller across different compatible power chair configurations.
For wheelchair providers, technicians, and caregivers, electronic compatibility is an important consideration when selecting an attendant control.
Always verify the wheelchair’s electronic system and compatibility before installation.
Knowing the wheelchair’s operating information can help an attendant manage the chair more effectively.
The Scoot Control features LED displays for battery and speed information.
The battery display provides a quick visual reference, while the speed display helps the attendant monitor the current speed setting.
Having these indicators integrated into the controller keeps useful information within the attendant’s view during operation.
Despite offering several control functions, the Scoot Control is built into a compact housing.
A compact design can be particularly useful for attendants who need a control system that doesn’t take up unnecessary space.
The controller can remain a practical part of the wheelchair configuration without creating an overly complicated interface.
Its streamlined design combines the handlebar, throttles, displays, and connection features into one integrated control solution.
The Scoot Control also includes a 3.5 mm stereo jack for connecting an external keypad.
This feature provides another level of flexibility for wheelchair control configurations.
An external keypad can be integrated when additional or alternative access to certain functions is required.
The exact keypad functionality will depend on the compatible equipment and wheelchair electronics.
This makes the Scoot Control adaptable to different attendant control requirements.
Another useful feature is on-board configuration.
Having configuration capabilities directly on the controller can make setup and adjustment more convenient for qualified users or technicians.
Instead of requiring every adjustment to be handled through a separate interface, supported settings can be configured on the device itself.
Configuration should be completed according to the manufacturer’s instructions and the requirements of the specific wheelchair system.
An attendant control should be easy to understand.
The Scoot Control uses a handlebar-style interface combined with configurable thumb throttles to create an intuitive steering experience.
For caregivers and attendants, familiar controls can make it easier to learn how to maneuver the power chair.
This can be especially helpful in environments where attendants frequently assist multiple wheelchair users or need to move a chair for positioning and transfers.
Safety is an important consideration whenever an attendant is controlling a power wheelchair.
The Scoot Control is described as an intuitive and safe steering device designed to support attendant maneuvering.
However, safe operation also depends on appropriate training, wheelchair configuration, environmental conditions, and the attendant’s awareness.
Before using the controller independently, attendants should become familiar with the wheelchair’s stopping distance, turning radius, speed settings, controls, and safety procedures.
Extra caution should be used around ramps, uneven surfaces, obstacles, pedestrians, doorways, and crowded environments.
Caregivers often need to help with wheelchair positioning throughout the day.
The Scoot Control caregiver control can provide a convenient way to maneuver a compatible power chair when the user requires assistance.
For example, an attendant may need to move the chair into position before a transfer, guide the chair through a facility, or assist with navigation in a challenging environment.
By providing a separate control interface, the Scoot Control can make these tasks more practical.
Power wheelchair positioning can be important before and after a transfer.
An attendant may need to move the chair slightly forward, backward, or sideways into an appropriate position.
The Scoot Control can provide the attendant with direct access to the wheelchair’s driving system, assuming the chair is properly configured and compatible.
Attendants should always follow the user’s established transfer procedures and use appropriate safety precautions.
The controller should never be considered a replacement for proper transfer training or supervision.
Power wheelchair users don’t spend their entire day in one location.
The wheelchair may travel between the home, workplace, school, healthcare facilities, shops, and outdoor spaces.
An attendant control that can work across different environments provides useful flexibility.
The Scoot Control is intended for both indoor and outdoor maneuvering, making it suitable for a wide variety of everyday mobility situations.
