The generic term "mobility scooter" refers to electrically powered scooters, some of which have three wheels and others have four wheels which are designed and used by the handicapped. Please explain your "two wheeled" assumption.
Second, I'm curious to know what you are talking about when you say the rider "has to carry the 20 pound device into the store." What device? And what do you mean "they have to walk around with it?" I ride my mobility scooter everywhere, including into businesses, as do many similarly situated people.
And finally, what do you mean "how do they afford to live here?" Do you possibly believe that handicapped individuals cannot live in The Villages?
I'd appreciate some clarification in these three areas.
Perhaps you have confused the "Mobility Scooter" which is for handicapped individuals and "Electric Scooter" which is basically a toy for adults. If you will do a browser search of these two terms you will see photos that show the difference.
After which you might want to apologize to jnieman for your gratuitous insult of his intelligence, when you are the one who made a false assumption.

Thanks for stating that so clearly, Carl. I was just gonna say, "20-lb device... Huh?"
It will be interesting to see if he answers your questions.
