How would a scooter like that work? I’m having trouble picturing what you want. How do you want your hands to power it—what kind of input?
All power scooters are hand controlled, if that is what you mean to say.
Have you considered hip-replacement surgery?
Hip-replacement surgery is a lot easier to recover from than knee-replacement surgery, and the results are excellent.
When Daddy was approaching 90, he got one of those electric scooters. They were pretty expensive but his insurance covered it. He could get around the house fairly well but couldn’t walk the nature trail on his property.
Whenever I was there we would make the trail together. It was a neat machine.
Kurt Angle might know Haha just teasing
See post 2. What do you mean hand powered scooter..I’m trying to picture what you mean.
Oh never mind I read down the thread I know what you’re talking about.
The Germans seem to have just invented one, but I wonder if it might not be hard for you given your hip and the need to balance?

Although I too really like that Champiot one! If only I didn’t live on a hill!
It's in German.
I’m not reading the rest of the replies so if this is a duplicate, pardon.
The search terms you need are “hand pedal” or “arm powered” referencing tricycles, quadcycles and/or wheelchairs.
I doubt anything in this class is going to be cheap or available locally, but I hope that you find what you need.

Is hip replacement surgery an option?
I was in severe pain before mine and now it feels like original parts...
