Visual Inspection
An effortless thing to do each time you use your scooter is to check it over visually, have a good look around it and make sure everything looks as it should.
Keep your mobility scooter dry.
Because your mobility scooter is not waterproof, and keeping it dry while out riding can be tricky, if not impossible! It would be unrealistic to say, ‘don’t use the scooter in the rain’. However, if you do get caught in a shower, don’t panic. Find cover quickly, wipe it down with a dry cloth, paying attention to the electrics and upholstery.
Battery Care
For obvious reasons, one of the most critical parts of the mobility scooter is its battery. Looking after your mobility scooter will mean looking after your battery too.
All mobility scooters come with some guidance for the battery. These instructions will tell important information. How long the battery will last on a full charge, based on surface, load and speed. If you purchase your mobility scooter from Premier Community, our engineers will be able to give you this information.
The battery will need to be fully charged before its first use. It will not provide maximum capacity until 10-20 charging cycles.
Remember:-
- The battery will discharge when the mobility scooter is not in use, so it would be advantageous for your storage place to have an electricity supply for recharging.
- That no matter how well you look after the battery, its full capacity will reduce over time, so we recommend having your battery tested as part of an annual service.
- Keep it in a dry environment
