Mobility Scooter Safety Tips for a Great Day Out

Mobility scooters are safe and easy to use, and a few sensible habits make them even safer, so your day out is smooth and worry-free. Whether it is your first time or you are an old hand, these tips are worth a quick read.

Oceans Mobility delivers every scooter checked, charged and ready, and we are happy to go over anything.

Before you set off

Check that the battery is charged for the day you have planned, see range and battery. Make sure you are comfortable with the controls and the speed setting, start slow if you are new to it. Dress for the weather and bring water on hot days.

Out and about

Keep a safe speed for the setting, slow in crowds, doorways and tight spaces. Stick to pavement and firm, even surfaces where you can, and take slopes and curbs with care; avoid soft sand, which is what beach wheelchairs are for. Be visible, especially near the end of the day, and watch for people stepping out around you. Take turns slowly and give yourself room.

Know your limits

Rest when you need to, do not overload the scooter beyond its rated capacity, and if anything feels off with the equipment, stop and call us. A little caution keeps the whole day enjoyable.
