Keeping Mobile

While keeping a scooter in top-running shape may not be as expensive as your vehicle, there are good reasons why an annual service is best. You can maintain the device’s performance with proper maintenance, saving you money, reducing repair and breakdown expenses, providing more safety, and increasing your scooter’s operation satisfaction.

For many seniors and those who have disabilities, the ability to maintain their freedom relies on having a working mobility device. The small expense is well worth the satisfaction it provides, especially when you can do more of what you want when you want.

What follows are a few tips that will help you maintain the performance of your scooter.

Keep Batteries Charged

With today’s battery technology, you’ll want to keep your device charged when not in use. This will ensure that your batteries are at full power when you decide to go out. Plus, you can spot your batteries weakening over time and make the proper changes before you are stuck out far from home. So, after every use, plug in the device to recharge the batteries. The only exceptions would be for very short trips, such as to the end of the driveway for example. We recommend you charge your battery at least once a month when not in use.

Maintain Tyre Pressure

Proper tyre pressure means a level ride and better performance. It may not seem evident initially, but a device or scooter that is level performs better with less wear. This is especially true of the tyres, which you should check for uneven wear. In addition to the tyre pressure, check the wheel bearings periodically to ensure they are still intact and stable.

Annual Maintenance

Every year, having a trained mechanic over your scooter or device may save you hundreds in repairs or even more in replacement fees. An annual check by a professional will spot issues in their early stages and replace parts that are worn out before they become a real problem. The cost of such maintenance is minimal compared to having your scooter damaged or replaced, so have the maintenance performed annually or when you notice something is wrong.
