Is your scooter winter 🥶 Ready! Better to be prepared!
Here are some things to check and do to prepare your mobility scooter for winter:
* Check the batteries
Cold weather can drain batteries faster, so make sure it's fully charged before each trip. You can also try charging it regularly throughout the winter. If the battery is old, it may need to be replaced.
* Check the tires
Check the tire pressure and look for signs of damage or wear and tear. Uneven pressure can cause the tires to wear out and make the scooter unbalanced. Bald tires can also affect braking, and don’t forget low tyre pressure can also add to a loss of range.
* Store in a heated/dry area
If possible, store your scooter in a heated or dry area like a garage or your home.
* Clean the scooter
Wipe down your scooter with a damp cloth after each use, especially if it's wet. You can also use a fabric spray to freshen up the cushions.
* Check the lights
Make sure your lights are clean and free of dirt so you can see and be seen.
* Keep Warm
Wear layers, gloves, a hat, and a scarf to stay warm and comfortable.
* Consider your route
Consider changing your routes if necessary to avoid risky situations.
* Have your scooter serviced
Have your scooter serviced regularly preferably before the winter.
