Mobility - adult scooter

My teen child cannot walk far without becoming exhausted & making their symptoms worse. To help us get out & about we were thinking about using a scooter & effectively pulling them along - they won't accept the idea of a wheelchair.

However, their balance isn't great so we can't use a 2 wheel version but I can only find one 3 wheel one in an adult size in my searches & it's pricey www.micro-scooters.co.uk/original-kickboard-2in1-micro-scooter-silver-7383

Any ideas on where else to look, or alternatives that don't look like they're a mobility aid?

Would they go for something like a <a class="break-all" href="https://biolecmobility.com/shop/mobility-aids/knee-walker/knee-walker-scooter-all-terrain-steerable-knee-scooter-for-adults/?biolecmobility.com/&utm_campaign=selected-products&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAqfe8BhBwEiwAsne6gQHbsLjzcgZgrm99dzGfq9-9ANinAgM2Y0Y_OlwMWLdgRIA09Adr_RoCS0QQAvD_BwE" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">knee scooter

Sorry. I tried to shrink the link but it doesn't seem to have worked.

@JoyeuxNarwhal thanks but that wouldn't suit. Too much pressure on knees & looks too much like an aid. They don't want to look like they need an aid, teenage image & all that!
