Before purchasing any mobility products ensure you consider insurance! Assistive mobility devices can be costly items to mend or replace especially electrical power scooters and Chairlifts.

Electrical power driven mobility scooters should be serviced annually. Like any modern motor vehicle there are a large amount of moving parts and the drive mechanism! Gearbox and drive shaft need consistent upkeep and inspection to prevent random damage and breakdowns.

If you plan to use your power scooter on urban roads you would be wise to take out insurance cover with a reputable scooter mobility company. Most scooters are supplied with soft tyres “pneumatic” which are perfect for travelling around the home

If you plan to perform longer journeys! Daily outings and expeditions to acquaintances and family the very last thing you want is a flat tyre. Unlike typical motor travel there isn’t any emergency breakdown service to help you get back home

Sitting in the rain for 2 hours with a flat tyre and no signs of any help would be disconcerting for the majority of people. Being disabled or having a severe lack of mobility would feel like a nightmare and how does one actually get help and your defective mobility scooter back home.

There are companies which will offer scooter mobility insurance. The standard insurance policy will only cover your item for repairs at home not the road side. One would be wise to purchase a more expensive insurance plan “comprehensive cover” which should ideally include roadside help and home recovery.

If you want to use your power scooter or powered wheelchair for urban out of doors use it may be advantages to replace the soft pneumatic tyres with solid puncture proof tyres. The expenses concerned would be a sound investment and without doubt lower the risk of you being stuck at the local shopping center

Stairlift and scooter batteries can also be expensive to buy and one can reduce the costs by buying the batteries supply only. Glaringly this isn’t of much help if you or a friend are not competent in a little car DIY

One would be prudent to guarantee all your mobility products are totally insured. Repairs and breakdowns can be dear as well as inconvenient.
