Using a Mobility Scooter in Cold, Rain and New England Weather

New England weather changes fast. A sunny boardwalk morning can turn into a rainy afternoon, and fall foliage trips can be chilly. Here is how to handle weather with a rented mobility scooter.

Rain

Scooters handle light rain fine, but they are not waterproof. Avoid puddles and heavy downpours, and do not leave the scooter outside overnight. Cover the controls with a plastic bag if you get caught out. See rainy day outings.

Cold

Batteries lose range in the cold. On a chilly day, expect less distance than usual and bring a spare battery. Store and charge the scooter indoors overnight. More in range and battery.

Sand and salt air

Keep scooters off the sand, which gets into the motor and wheels. See scooters and sand.

Keep the rider warm

Sitting still feels colder than walking. Bring a blanket for the lap, gloves for steering and a hat. See winter outings.
