A Smokies trip involves more walking than most guests expect, from the long sidewalks of the Gatlinburg Parkway to the outlet malls and attraction complexes of Pigeon Forge. Gatlinburg Mobility Scooter Rental gives travelers with limited mobility, or anyone who tires easily, a way to join the group for the whole day. The company rents electric mobility scooters from its East Parkway shop and brings them to lodging across the area, so a grandparent or recovering guest does not have to sit out the outing.
Scooters come in three classes: lightweight models rated for 250 pounds, mid-range models for 300 pounds and heavy-duty models for 400 pounds. Each travels roughly 14 to 18 miles on a charge, which covers a full day downtown. A ramp can be added for $10 per day for guests who need to load a scooter into a vehicle. Delivery and pickup are included for Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Sevierville, and the company offers weekly rental specials for longer stays.
The shop is at 385 E Parkway in Gatlinburg, and quotes are available by phone, text, WhatsApp, Instagram or Facebook. No deposit is required; a credit card is kept on file instead. If you plan to pick up in store on the same day, call ahead to confirm a scooter is available. The cancellation window is 48 hours, and there are no refunds for early returns or bad weather, so book for the days you are sure to use it.
