Time For A Vacation, But First Check Your Mobility Scooter Batteries!

Disability Scooters Get a Charge Out of Travel

You don't have to restrict your battery-operated mobility scooter use to small trips to the corner store or to the local disability bus stop. Since your electric battery-operated scooter is equipped to run all day on batteries, you can travel further to parks, museums, amusement parks and other recreational places in your community. Independent of a car or bus tour, you can use your personal mobility scooter to quickly stop and enjoy the sights along a path that highway travelers would miss. This article discusses how to plan for such an "enjoyment trip."

Now obviously one of the first things that an enjoyment trip is going to need is time to enjoy it! So schedule some time off for your trip and make sure you won't miss any important appointments. To maximize sight-seeing, schedule your single-day vacation for the same time that your community will run a few local events. Local tour books can help you design an interesting route and devise a schedule for hourly visits to various stores and restaurants.

To make sure your 3 wheel or 4 wheel scooter can handle the trip, you can have your gel battery-operated scooter serviced, and you can recharge your battery before take off. This will minimize the risk of accidents, stalling, and need for emergency repairs. If you're handy with repairing your gel battery-operated scooter yourself, feel free to bring along an extra battery (or batteries) and a small toolbox just in case.

Ready? Pack everything you need including identification, a map, umbrella, and a few snacks. After you set out, remember to take breaks so that you'll stay alert in traffic. But leave the headphones at home. Wearing headphones while operating a gel battery-operated scooter is not recommended and will hinder your ability to respond to the normal sounds of traffic.
