A mobility scooter - sometimes called a power scooter or disability scooter - is simply a motorized device powered by an electrical system with a rechargeable battery.  The seat sits over two rear wheels and there is a flat area for your feet.  Handlebars are used to steer.

If you have difficulty walking, or can't walk at all, mobility scooters can be a fantastic way to get around the house, neighborhood, supermarket, zoo, airport - you name it. 

Scooter types vary widely.  Some are lightweight and compact - great for  running errands, but you wouldn't be comfortable for long.  Some are narrow and others are heavy, wide and stable.  Some have knobby wheels for  rough terrain, but you wouldn't want to take them into the supermarket.  Vastly different features and uses explains why so many people end up with more than one power scooter.
