You should only take your scooter out on the roads when you're confident about the handling of it and are aware of how to operate each of the controls.

Always make sure that your scooter is able to safely dismount and mount kerbs. Avoid steep hills if you're confident in your ability to navigate them is low.

Reliable battery life

The amount of time a mobility scooter lasts before it needs to be recharged depends on a variety of aspects, including the size of the battery and the amount of power they are used for and how often. However, it is possible to prolong the lifespan of your battery by following a few simple tips.

To avoid overcharging, make sure you charge it regularly. It is also essential to 'break it in' by charging it after every use for the first 15 or 20 times, as this will make it work better and last longer.

A scooter with a smaller turn radius can be more maneuverable around tight spaces. This feature is essential for anyone who frequently frequents shopping centres and other busy areas. The size of your tires can have a major impact on how easy it is for you to use a scooter on uneven terrain. Larger tires are more stable than smaller ones, and they have an increased tread that allows them to be used on various types of terrain.

If you intend to use your scooter for outdoor trips be sure to select a model that has adequate suspension and a seat that can be adjusted in height to ensure your comfort. A swivel seat allows you to get into and out. It is recommended to select mobility scooters that have an anti-roll safety system. This will stop the vehicle from accidentally rolling forwards and backwards.

It is also recommended to look for a battery that has a maximum incline percentage of no more than 25%, since going up steep slopes will drain your battery much faster. This could leave you without power and in need of help.

Mobility scooter pavements are an excellent option for those who want to remain independent while still being able to run around, visit the shops, or visit friends. They are ideal for those who want to explore their locality or take a day-long excursion without the need to recharge.
