The mobility scooters are adapted to meet the exact needs of the user. Additional accessories, can allow making more uses of the mobility scooter, depending on the model and the requirements of the user. There are various kinds of mobility scooter accessories, which may range from larger batteries to walking stick holders to mobility canopies.
Depending on the battery size and the scooter’s model, larger batteries may be expensive.
Nevertheless, battery upgrades are cost effective if you frequently travel long distances, or tend to feel restricted when you cannot travel as far-off as you would like to. It is necessary to remember that big batteries are heavier, if you frequently dismantle the scooter, for traveling in car.
Few disabled scooters allow the use of a different kind of tiller for control. Delta tillers are hand driven, requiring pushing or pulling of the lever for controlling the scooter, while allowing one to use the same hand for controlling both reverse and forward movements. If one hand is weaker than the other is, of if one hand is tired, then these can be very useful.
The walking stick holders or crutches can be carried along no matter where you are going. For the scooter, oxygen cylinder holders may be also available. If you keep struggling to twist your head, reversing the scooter into a shed or a garage, can become easier, with the use of rear view mirrors. For those scooters that are legal on the road, these mirrors can be used to keep a watch on the traffic behind.
To guard the scooter in unfavorable weather conditions Capes and mobility canopies are also available. They range from the canopies that entirely enclose the scooter and the user from all elements to capes that cover the scooter and the user. While capes fit most of the users and the scooters, mobility canopies are specifically designed for the larger pavements.
