  Bike infrastructure. Also, why mobility scooters first? I'd hope that people with mobility issues could first reach for: 1. Recumbent bikes: https://www.getcycling.org.uk/recumbents/ https://www.getcycling.org.uk/recumbents/ (first regular ones, then electric) 2.

Handcycles: https://www.getcycling.org.uk/handcycles/ https://www.getcycling.org.uk/handcycles/ 4. Wheelchair tandems where possible: https://www.getcycling.org.uk/wheelchair/ https://www.getcycling.org.uk/wheelchair/ And only 5. or so should be mobility scooters, where they makes sense. Because of the lack of bike infrastructure/walkable neighborhoods, I think the default in the US is directly a mobility scooter.
