Which Accessories and Upgrades are available to me?

Providing that your mobility scooter is able to accommodate them you may wish to look into upgrades such as purchasing larger, more powerful mobility batteries if you wish to travel longer distances or use your scooter more frequently. If you are having problems seeing in tight congested areas you may also wish to look into the possibility of adding more mirrors to increase areas of visibility.

Other options include holders for umbrellas’ walking sticks, oxygen tanks, sun shades, shopping baskets, lightweight aluminium ramps for access to vehicles and buildings etc all of which can be provided by the manufacturer or specialist suppliers.

If your scooter is uncomfortable when travelling over rutted, bumpy ground you are now able to purchase pneumatic tyres which are filled with air similar to car tyres which allow for a much smoother ride than a solid rubber tyre.

The more heavy duty accessories include ramps to allow easy access for most areas and lifts and hoists that can be built into the back of vans or minibuses to allow larger, heavier duty scooters to be transported by a person on day trips and other outings.

There are a great many suppliers of accessories for mobility scooters whether you are looking to add new batteries or a shopping basket or even purchasing ramps to custom fit your home. Make sure that you search around either over the internet or contact retailers directly by telephone to find the correct items for you at the best price whilst also checking out the respectability of the supplier and where you will stand if you encounter a problem and need to claim under warranty or through your insurance.
