Make Mobility Scooters Battery Last Longer

 
There are a number of people that require the use of a mobility scooter to help them get around on a daily basis. The cost for these scooters can be quite expensive depending on the model that a person chooses, and so people need to know how to make their scooter last as long as possible.

Once a person gets their scooter it may take some time for them to become familiar with it and learn how to properly operate it. By doing some research, people can learn ways to preserve the battery life of their scooter as well as how to properly care for their scooter. Most people don’t plan on having to buy a replacement scooter during their lifetime, so it is in their best interest to take the best care possible of the scooter.

Mobility Scooters

Mobility scooters rely on battery power, one way to extend the life of the scooter is to preserve the battery as much as possible. There are five main factors that can affect the life of a battery. People need to pay close attention to the temperature, depth of discharge, cycle life, state of charge, and over charge conditions. A scooter should be stored in cool temperatures as much as possible. Storing a scooter with the battery in place in high temperatures can drain the battery much faster. Users should also avoid letting their batteries drain completely, because the higher the depth of discharge the lower the life of the battery.

Batteries have a limited life cycle. Each time a person drains the battery completely they use one cycle. Avoiding complete drainage of the battery uses less cycles. Keeping the battery fully or near fully charged when not in use will also preserve the life of the battery. Overcharging a battery can also reduce the life cycle of the battery. If people take proper care of their mobility scooters they should be able to use them safely for years to come.

The best method to charge the batteries is to plug the scooter in to charge at the end of the day when you’re done using it and unplug it once the charger indicates it is full. If you’re not going to use the scooter then plug the scooter in once every other week. Do these two simple steps and your batteries will last for years.

Using Your Mobility Scooter to Go Places!

When mobility becomes an issue and every step has to be thought through carefully then the ability to travel can start to fade into the distance and become a thing of the past.

Merits-Pioneer-2-20

However, it doesn’t have to be this way for those who take the time to research and purchase portable mobility scooters that are designed to go places quickly and easily. One of the biggest benefits of this type of equipment is the fact that it can fold or be disassembled in a few simple moves and then be placed into the trunk of the vehicle and everyone is ready to go on that road trip. Don’t sacrifice visits to see the grandkids or feel that the mall is out of reach, as long as you have the right make and model scooter, you can remain as active as you did before the mobility issues started happening. These products are designed to be easily operated by individuals of any age and to move around tight corners, have a speed control and can be used outside and inside.

As a purchaser it is important to review the specifications of the product you are looking at and then check out the accessories that are compatible with this. However, one of the simplest things to do is to do an Internet search using the term ‘portable mobility scooter’ and then see how many brand names populate. Look at several vendor sites to compare price, warranty information, maintenance instructions and who offers home delivery and free setup.

The portable mobility scooter needs to be effective, so careful and thoughtful research is the first step towards success and ensuring that the ‘travel bug’ is satisfied!

How Assistive Equipment Helps an Aging Population.

If more seniors and disabled persons are active and on the go, then the credit goes to assistive equipment such as canes, walkers, wheelchairs and, at the top of them all, mobility scooters. Many develop certain disabilities or chronic medical conditions which significantly decreases their ability to stay mobile.

Thankfully, significant advancements in assistive technology have added to the safety, reliability as well as reliability of mobility equipment. Quad canes, for instance, have four points in contact with the ground, compared to the usual single-point cane. The quad cane is proven to be more stable than the single-point cane. It is ideal for people suffering from significant muscle weakness in both the arm and leg on one side of the body.Seniors

Different materials used in the cane shaft have a bearing on its weight and feel. Aluminum is much lighter than wood. Canes made of lightweight materials like carbon fiber are available as well.

Walkers are used by almost 2 million people in the United States for their mobility needs. Originally designed as temporary rehab equipment, walkers today have added features like wheels, seats and brakes as well as convenient accessories such as detachable baskets, trays and walker bags.

Wheelchair design and construction has undergone enormous changes. However, many are not aware of the different types of wheelchairs available and they end up purchasing one at the local drugstore based on a choice from a limited inventory. A chair that is too heavy or has a wrong height may cause bruises, pressure ulcers and other problems. It may be important to talk to a rehab professional when choosing a particular piece of adaptive equipment.

Mobility scooters are useful for individuals who can walk short distances but require assistance for long distances. Though scooters have been around for quite a time, they have undergone significant improvements including the power of the batteries and the speed at which they recharge. Other enhancements include power seats, adjustable bases, flip-back arms and gear drive systems.

Mobility scooter lifts are a particularly useful accessory for added convenience. Lifts are used to move their scooters in and out of cars.

Mobility Scooters and the Gym

Tips for Enjoying a Good Workout
If you’re ready to purchase a new mobility scooter for the first time, it’s best to think of all your possibilities, rather than your limitations. If you already have a scooter, how about broadening your horizons by taking your machine to the gym to enjoy a good workout?

Most of today’s modern gyms are equipped to accommodate your mobility scooter.  And as long as there is sufficient room between machines and enough space to allow you to move about throughout the gym, you may be good to go.  Following are some steps you can take to ensure a great experience at the workout location of your choice.

Wheelchair Gym Training

Wheelchair Gym Training

  1. Get a complete physical exam if you haven’t done so recently. Make sure your healthcare provider gives you the green light to use the various machines at the gym. Let your provider help you decide which areas of your body would benefit from a regular exercise program that includes time in the gym.

  2. Take a tour of the gym. Make sure the gym has equipment that you access by rising from your scooter and using the machine. If you are unable to rise from your scooter without assistance, look for machines that you can use while remaining seated.

  3. Make sure the gym has clean handicapped bathrooms and a clean shower that is designed for people with disabilities. It’s a good idea to visit the gym at its busiest hours (you can ask the gym manager to let you know the busy times to use the gym as well as the hours when gym use is light). If the gym is poorly managed, you might find bathrooms that are not cleaned regularly, especially during the busy times,.

  4. Do not fall for the sales pitches of trainers unless you know that the trainer is experienced at working with people who use electric mobility scooters and other assistive devices. Get references from others who use mobility scooters. Some gyms such as Planet Fitness don’t allow trainers to make sales pitches. If you need a trainer, hire one who does not work at the gym.

Which type of Mobility Scooter is best for gym use
You can use either a 4-wheel mobility scooter or a 3-wheel device. However, 3-wheel mobility scooters feature a tighter turning radius than 4-wheelers. Four wheel mobility scooters are less maneuverable than their 3 wheel counterparts; however they give you greater stability, which won’t usually be a factor in a gym. You can also use a lightweight travel scooter; the advantages of a travel scooter is its portability.

If you’re looking for a new mobility scooter, you can easily order online at a trusted site from companies such as Scooter Direct, your source for all mobility products. You’ll find a great selection of mobility scooters, wheelchairs, lifts, ramps, lift chairs as well as walking aids, pool lifts, stair lifts and vertical platforms. Call: toll free (800) 987-6791

Know when to Yield Right of Way on your Mobility Scooter

Mobility scooters give you the freedom to move freely and easily, whether it’s around the shopping mall, in the neighborhood or when you’re on vacation. However, it’s important that you always keep in mind that you are operating a power driven vehicle, one that can cause danger to yourself and others if you do not drive it carefully.

Currently, most states do not have specific regulations governing electric scooters. Nevertheless, the State of Florida warns on its website that someday statutory regulations will exist.

Following are some examples of when you should yield to pedestrians or bicyclists;

  • When riding on a narrow bridge path that’s protected by railings or concrete embankment. Resort areas often have lots of pedestrian traffic across bridges which lead from hotels to nearby shopping areas. Often pedestrians will pause to look at the water or passing boats. Obviously, if you are traveling at 3.5 miles per hour on your mobility scooter you have a duty to warn the pedestrians that you are coming.

  • You should never operate your mobility scooter on a busy thoroughfare, even within a bike lane. Instead, it’s safer to drive your scooter on the sidewalk. However, if for some reason you are driving within a bicycle lane, make sure you warn oncoming bicyclists who can be riding at high speeds that you are in the bicycle lane.

  • Whether you are operating your mobility scooter in residential areas or on park paths be especially aware of animals who might cross your path. Dogs and cats frequently run in front of motorized vehicles, so make sure you are always vigilant when you are driving.

 

Operating your mobility scooter should be fun. Tooling around on your scooter is a great way to sightsee, commute to work or get to a desired nearby destination quickly. In addition to observing common sense driving tactics (even if your state does not have a law that mandates when you should yield right of way), you should always make sure your mobility scooter is in tip-top running condition.  Additionally, perform the following safety checks before you use your mobility scooter:

  1. Make sure your wheels are not worn

  2. Check your battery level; make sure it is recharged. And know exactly how long you can operate your mobility scooter before the battery level gets low.

  3. Make sure your brakes are operating properly.

  4. Check to see if your horn, lights and signals are in working order.

  5. Adjust your seat to the most comfortable setting and while doing so make sure that it is secure

Mobility Scooter Review of Safety Tips


One of the greatest benefits of using a mobility scooter is the freedom and independence you’ll  enjoy now that you are able to get around easily. However, it’s your responsibility to operate your scooter safely, especially if you intend to use it outside the home.  Following are 18 simple tips that will help you operate your scooter safely and responsibly:

Pride Go Go Sport, model SC74

Pride Go Go Sport, model SC74

  1. Read your owner manual – It is important to familiarize your mobility scooters’ user manual. Most manuals include instructions on how to navigate over uneven terrain, the proper way to negotiate turns, safe braking practices, etc.

  2. Practice – Before you go on long excursions, practice operating your scooter in a quiet parking lot.

  3. Straight Ahead – Avoid going on inclines, like curb ramps, on an angle. You are at the greatest risk of tipping when you turn too sharply or go too fast going up or down hills or ramps.

  4. Power Down – Make sure you shut off your engine when you’re finished driving your mobility scooter. For extra safety, remove the key when you’re finished using the vehicle.

  5. Be Reflective – If you plan on operating your scooter at night use a fluorescent vest or other reflective gear so that you can be easily seen.

  6. Be Seen – Use a safety flag at the rear of your scooter if you travel near a roadway.  A safety flag that is placed at a level above your head can be seen by motorists.

  7. Drive sober! – Do not operate your mobility scooter if you are impaired by alcohol, prescription drugs or any other intoxicating substances. Alcohol and drugs compromise your judgment, putting yourself and others at risk.

  8. Watch out for others – Pedestrians, bicyclists, and other mobility scooter operators are obstacles that can move into your path. It’s always prudent to drive defensively.

  9. Parking Lots – Exercise caution when you’re driving through commercial parking lots where shoppers on foot or in cars are likely to emerge at any time. Be especially cautious when driving near storefronts because people can exit a store at any time.

  10. Power Up – Make sure your batteries are fully charged each time you operate your scooter. Getting stranded far from home is no fun at all.

  11. Speed – When you drive on footpaths, don’t exceed the speed of pedestrians.

  12. Avoid Water – It is safest to drive only in dry conditions. Avoid riding in the rain, driving through puddles or traversing wet grass.

  13. No hitchhikers – Don’t let kids of other passengers ride with you on your scooter unless it is designed for more than one person. Your scooter is designed to bear a specific weight load; exceeding that weight can damage its frame.

  14. Phone Home

  15. Don’t leave home without your cell phone. In case of an equipment breakdown you should always have a cell phone handy so you can call for help.

  16. A Must See – If you wear prescription glasses or contact lenses wear them when you ride your scooter.  You need to be able to see clearly to drive safely!

  17. Know it well. It’s a good idea to check out the sidewalks and pathways in your neighborhood prior to operating your mobility scooter so you can anticipate problem areas such as high curbs, rocky terrain and areas with high bicycle traffic.

  18. That’s right – It is safer, at least in the USA, to drive on the right side even when on sidewalks.

  19. Horn – Only use your horn when it is absolutely necessary. But use it when needed.

Mobility Scooter Maintenance Tips

It’s not difficult to keep your mobility scooter in tip-top running condition because the majority run on sealed gel batteries, you won’t have to worry about leakage, while high-quality charging systems prolong battery life. Built-in safety devices are designed to keep you injury free.  Mobility scooters utilize solid-state electronic controls for acceleration and braking purposes.  Safety devices incorporated into today’s mobility scooters help to protect the operator from injury. Other than adjustments to the seat, tiller handle and arm rests (for comfort purposes), adjustment is limited. Nonetheless, all of the scooter’s components require periodic inspection and maintenance to maintain the scooter in a safe and dependable state.

Following is a simple maintenance checklist:

1. Before you use your mobility scooter, read your manual thoroughly. The instruction manual will have great maintenance tips.

2. Before you get on your scooter, check your ignition to make sure it starts.

3. Once your scooter is started, try your horn and indicator lights to be certain they are sure your horn and indicator lights are working properly. If they are not, your battery may be weakening.

4. Check your seat and arm rest to make sure they are secure. Tighten if necessary.

5. Follow the manufacturer’s battery maintenance schedule so you will know how to properly charge your batteries and how often to charge them.

6. Clean your scooter daily. A damp cloth will remove most dust and smudges.

7. Check your tires frequently to make sure they have the proper air pressure or are not worn. Small, inflatable tires tend to lose pressure easily.

8. Keep your scooter dry. Do not drive it through puddles or wet lawns. Even routine household moisture can rust your scooter. Most importantly, keep it out of the rain; cover the scooter if it is necessary to leave it outside.

9. Take your scooter to a repair shop for regular maintenance and safety inspections. A qualified maintenance shop can check your belts, make sure your motor is operating property and keep your machine lubricated if you are unable to do so yourself.

Proper care and maintenance will keep your mobility scooter running safely. After all, it’s one of the most valuable and necessary products you own – it makes sense to make sure your scooter is working properly at all times.

Looking For The Best Discount Mobility Scooter?

You need a mobility scooter but you’re on a budget which means you are shopping for the best mobility scooter at a discounted price.  Price is important but before you buy, take advantage of our years of experience servicing customers that bought a scooter without this information and ended up paying more than they wanted.

 

Used Mobility Scooters – We receive calls from people who just purchased a used scooter.  The scooter is not working and they want assistance getting it working.  The first question we ask is “what model scooter do you have?” and the answer, all too often, is “I don’t know but it’s red”.   Don’t buy a scooter if you do not know the model, even if it looks like-new, there are too many unknowns.  The scooter you bought could also be a discontinued model and parts may no longer be available which means you have lost your total investment.  Also, used scooters almost always need new batteries which can run between $100 and $600 depending on the scooter. Second most often issue is the charger is missing or broken which will cost between $99 and $350 to replace.

Discount Scooter Models – When shopping for a low-priced mobility scooter you should consider factors other than just the initial purchase price.  If you consider price only, you may buy a scooter from a disreputable vendor or a manufacturer that cuts so many corners the scooter is one bump away from being a big paperweight.  Also consider if parts are going to be available in the future; is anyone in your zip code qualified to work on the scooter; what is the warranty, and how do you get parts under warranty.

Battery Test for Mobility Scooters or Powerchairs

Tools Required: Battery Load Tester

You can measure battery voltage using a conventional voltmeter and get an acceptable reading of 12 – 14 Volts but you still may not have enough power to drive the Power wheelchair or Mobility Scooter. You need to test the batteries under a “Load State” – (e.g. sitting in and driving the Mobility Chair).

Batteries that fail when used under a load may change the performance behavior of the Mobility Device. Most controllers need a minimum of 18 volts to function properly.  Batteries that fail under a load may not have enough power to operate the Equipment properly. See Picture 1 for load test connections.

To load test the batteries:

  1. Remove the chassis shroud or open the Battery Pack as needed to access the scooter batteries
  2. Disconnect the battery cables.
  3. Connect load charger terminal connectors to the battery terminals. Make sure the Positive connector of the load tester is connected to the positive terminal of the battery and the negative connector of the load tester is connected to the negative terminal of the battery.
  4. Hold the Load On switch on for 10 seconds.
  5. Read the meter with the load on.
  6. Determine if the battery is good or bad while under a load.
  7. If the battery is bad, replace the battery at http://www.scooterdirect.com/batteries~29.htm
    1. It is recommended that both batteries be replaced at the same time.
    2. If the battery is good, then the batteries are not the problem. Continue to troubleshoot unit by checking battery connections and harness connections.
