While not a mobility problem (legs still work), it is a handicap.
Being too fat too walk to the store and needing a motorized shopping
cart may also be considered a mobility problem, but I don't see anyone
in the store preventing these people from buying a bunch of crap.
Blindness also isn't a mobility problem.

All depends on your outlook.
