HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR MOBILITY SCOOTER

Firstly, since all scooters have different instructions, it is necessary to follow your manufacturer’s recommendations, provided in the manual that had had been given with that mobility scoter. You may have to get your scooter recharged after each use, if that is what the instructions say. However, it may be required to recharge it only once after the battery gauge warns about a low charge. 

 

In case your disabled scooter is a boot/small scooter, then you may be able to completely remove the batteries away from the scooter and charge them independently.

Therefore, you should be able to leave your scooter in your car, and separately charge those batteries indoors, like in a caravan, at home, or inside a hotel room. The other types of mobility scooters require you to leave the batteries on them while charging. Rather than having a battery pack, the scooter itself will have the charging point. Thus, in such cases the disabled scooter battery is charged close to its main outlet. Hence, if it is large sized, the vehicle will have to be kept in a shed or a garage.

 

 

The mobility scooters, like cars, need regular services. Your mobility scooter manual shall inform you how regular your scooter’s service requirements are. On a rough basis, depending on the use of your mobility scooter, it should approximately require servicing once every twelve months. Authorized mobility dealers are capable of carrying out your scooter services, while ensuring that your scoter functions to its fullest potential. The servicing of the scooter should take around two hours, depending on your dealer, the age of your scooter and its model.

 

A mobility scooter’s bodywork is usually made with the use of plastic, because of which, during the scooter’s lifetime, there could be some wear and tear on it. Depending on the scooter’s model, replacement shrouds or bodywork could be available for the rear and the front. Usually, they can be easily fit, either by the mobility dealer or by the user himself.

 

 

The design of the mobility scooters is such that they are easy to maintain and use while proving years of independence as well as freedom, not forgetting, a great money value if properly looked after.
