Purchased a pre-owned mobility scooter lately? Congratulations. You will not only enjoy increased independence, but also save some money too! Now that you’ve got a great motorized scooter, you’ll want to do all that you can to make sure it stays in tip-top shape. To keep yours running as smoothly as possible, here are 5 tips on how to maintain mobility scooters.

Maintain the Battery

The battery is the heart and soul of any mobility scooter. Without it, you aren’t going anywhere, anytime soon. Make sure to go over the maintenance schedule with the dealer. Also, remember that batteries will lose their charge over time. So, it’s a good idea to get the battery inspected by a professional to ensure they are charging properly.

Clean Your Scooter

Life gets dirty—so can pre-owned mobility scooters. Traveling on roads, paths, and sidewalks can get messy. Regularly clean your scooter, removing any dust, dirt, or debris. For simple spot cleaning, use a damp cloth to wipe down the scooter. For more deep cleaning jobs, you might want to use soap or a non-abrasive, gentle cleaner.

Check the Tires

Just like vehicles, tires can impact the performance of your mobility scooter. So, make sure your tires have the proper air pressure in them. You’ll also want to regularly inspect the tire treads for wear, replacing thinning tires when necessary.

Avoid Moisture

Moisture can be a mobility scooter’s worst enemy. Rust and corrosion can wreak havoc on the components, leading to costly repair and replacement bills. Whenever possible, keep your scooter out of the rain and store it in a dry, clean area. Covering your motorized scooter with a tarp will also go a long way in protecting it from the elements.

Get Regular Inspections

No matter how tough and reliable your pre-owned mobility scooter might be, the unexpected is going to happen. Once a year, take your scooter in to your local repair shop to have your ride checked and serviced by a professional. A little preventive care now can save you some major repairs and headaches later.

Following these handy tips will help ensure your pre-owned mobility scooter keeps on rolling and looking great for many years to come.
