Some national parks are very much setup for "easy access"... we are going to Acadia National Park this month. Much of it can be accessed by a vehicle. The "carriage roads" are very much suitable for a scooter type thing.
Another thing to think about, before heading off all over the place to see national parks - what about state parks? We've found that even our little state (Connecticut) has an amazing variety of state parks that we never knew existed, and are within easy driving time.
