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. Trikes: https://www.getcycling.org.uk/tricycles/ https://www.getcycling.org.uk/tricycles/ (first regular ones, then electric)
3. 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.
