<!-- KEY FEATURES -->
<h2 class="mds-section">What Defines This Scooter</h2>
<div class="mds-features">
<div class="mds-feature">
<strong>500 lb Capacity, Extra-Wide Seat</strong>
Rated for 500 lbs (HCPCS K0808, Group 2 Very Heavy Duty) with an extra-wide 22" × 20" high-back seat that rotates 90° either direction and a full 360° for easy transfers.</div>
<div class="mds-feature">
<strong>Maneuverable 51" Turning Radius</strong>
The three-wheel design turns in just 51" — tight for a 500 lb-capacity scooter — and gives more legroom on the open deck.</div>
<div class="mds-feature">
<strong>Optional 6" Power Elevating Seat</strong>
Add the power elevating seat with lockout to rise up to 6" for countertops, shelves, and eye-level conversation. Standard seat height adjusts to four positions.</div>
<div class="mds-feature">
<strong>120A Controller & Rear Suspension</strong>
A 120-amp controller provides climbing ability and steady power up to 6 mph, rear suspension softens bumps, and electro-mechanical brakes stop smoothly.</div>
<div class="mds-feature">
<strong>Flat-Free Tires & Anti-Tippers</strong>
Solid, non-marking 10.75" tires on alloy wheels never go flat. Front and rear anti-tip wheels add stability, and 6.25" of deck clearance handles curb cuts.</div>
<div class="mds-feature">
<strong>Console, USB & LED Lighting</strong>
An integrated LCD console shows battery level and fault codes, a tiller-mounted USB port charges your phone, and LED headlights, taillights, and flashers keep you visible.</div>
</div>
<div class="mds-tip">
<strong>Three wheels: tighter turns and more legroom, less side-slope stability.</strong> The Companion HD 3-Wheel is ideal for riders who need 500 lb capacity in a maneuverable scooter for sidewalks, stores, and large indoor spaces. On side slopes, uneven ground, or when turning on inclines, a four-wheel scooter is steadier. Call us to compare: <a href="tel:8662180902">1-866-218-0902</a>.</div>

<div class="mds-tip">
<strong>Check doorway width — it's 30.5" wide.</strong> The Companion HD's wide stance supports its 500 lb rating, but at 30.5" it won't fit through many standard interior doors (often 28"–30"). It's best for outdoor use and larger indoor spaces like stores and malls. Call us to check your space: <a href="tel:8662180902">1-866-218-0902</a>.</div>

<!-- USES -->
<h2 class="mds-section">Where the Companion HD Belongs</h2>
<h3 class="mds-sub">Larger Riders Who Want Maneuverability</h3>
<p>Most 500 lb scooters are four-wheel and turn wide. The Companion HD's three-wheel design turns in 51" with extra legroom, so it handles store aisles, lobbies, and parking lots with ease.</p>
<h3 class="mds-sub">Errands & Community Outings</h3>
<p>Rear suspension, flat-free tires, and 6.25" of deck clearance handle sidewalks and curb cuts, with up to 16 miles per charge and a large basket for shopping.</p>
<h3 class="mds-sub">Reaching Higher</h3>
<p>The optional 6" power elevating seat puts counters, shelves, and checkout terminals within reach — and makes standing up easier.</p>
<!-- FAQ -->
<h2 class="mds-section">Frequently Asked Questions</h2>
<div class="mds-faq">
<div class="mds-faq-item">
<div class="mds-faq-q">How far will it go on a charge?</div>
<p>Up to 16 miles on two NF22 batteries, depending on rider weight, terrain, and temperature.</p>
</div>
<div class="mds-faq-item">
<div class="mds-faq-q">Which seat should I choose?</div>
<p>The standard extra-wide high-back seat is 22" × 20" — the roomiest option. The optional captain's chair is 20" × 20". Both have an 18" back and four height positions.</p>
</div>
<div class="mds-faq-item">
<div class="mds-faq-q">Will it fit through my doors?</div>
<p>It's 30.5" wide, which is wider than many standard interior doorways. Measure your doors before ordering — it's best suited to outdoor use and larger indoor spaces.</p>
</div>
<div class="mds-faq-item">
<div class="mds-faq-q">Can I take it apart for the car?</div>
<p>The seat and batteries come off, but the heaviest remaining piece is about 101.5 lbs. Plan on a vehicle lift rated for its weight or a ramp van. Call us to plan: <a href="tel:8662180902">1-866-218-0902</a>.</p>
</div>
<div class="mds-faq-item">
<div class="mds-faq-q">What is the HCPCS code?</div>

</div>
<div class="mds-faq-item">
<div class="mds-faq-q">Companion HD 3-Wheel or Pride Maxima 4-Wheel?</div>
<p>Both are 500 lb scooters with roomy seats and power seat options. The <strong>Companion HD</strong> is faster (6 vs. 5.8 mph), has rear suspension, more ground clearance, and a tighter 51" turning radius. The <strong>Maxima</strong> is a four-wheel design — steadier on slopes — with a longer 19.5-mile range and narrower 27" base.</p>
</div>
<div class="mds-faq-item">
<div class="mds-faq-q">What does the warranty cover?</div>
<p>5 years on the frame, 2 years on the drive train, electronics, and electrical parts, and 1 year on batteries. Call us with warranty questions: <a href="tel:8662180902">1-866-218-0902</a>.</p>

<p style="font-size: 0.85rem; color: #888;">*Range and speed are maximums and vary with rider weight, terrain, temperature, and battery condition. Three-wheel scooters are less stable than four-wheel scooters on side slopes and when turning on inclines. HCPCS code does not guarantee reimbursement.
