The best thing about electric mobility scooters is their ease of use. There isn't much that needs to be done in order to keep an electric scooter in great condition and proper working order. The minor maintenance activities that are recommended are quite easy to perform and will keep your mobility scooter working for years to come.

Check the tires regularly, because if one of the tires fails while you are using the scooter, the result could be damage to the scooter or injury to yourself. Most electric mobility scooters with inflatable tires require a tire pressure of 30-35 psi (be sure to check the manual of your scooter for the correct tire pressure). Do not allow the tires to become under-inflated or over-inflated. Under-inflated tires could make the scooter unstable and over-inflated tires can burst under pressure. Also, you should manually inspect the tires periodically to make sure they haven't taken any serious damage that could lead to a flat.

It's pretty easy to take care of your mobility scooter, and by following these simple steps, your scooter will last for years. Because of their relatively simple mechanical design, mobility scooters typically won't require professional service in their expected lifetime. Just be sure to take care of the battery, the tires, and keep the unit clean.

The mobility scooter manual may say that bigger batteries can be fitted to your disability scooter. This will provide you with a greater range, meaning that you can go further before needing to charge your batteries. The batteries are available from mobility dealers and the price will depend on the battery capacity. The batteries are often the heaviest item on a mobility scooter. Bigger batteries will mean heavier batteries, which is one thing to consider if you often dismantle the scooter to transport it in the car.

Consult with scooter dealers or scooter store for specific details, but generally your battery will provide the best performance when it is regularly charged. It is also important to not over charge your battery. Properly maintaining your battery is one of the keys to keeping your mobility scooter running and when done properly will extend the life of your battery.
