The best things 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.

Firstly, take care of the mobility scooter’s battery. You will get the most battery life out of your scooter if you charge it regularly. When you return home after any trip that you used the scooter, go ahead and charge the battery. Keeping the battery fully charged when possible helps to ensure that you won’t be stranded by a dead battery, and it also guarantees that the scooter won’t be sluggish to respond to your controls (like it would if you had a weak battery). Like most other types of rechargeable batteries, the useful life of the battery will be much longer if you charge them fully regularly. You will also want to check the battery’s terminal connections themselves, to make sure they remain secure and not corroded.

It is important to follow the manufacturers recommendations in the manual that came with the mobility scooter as each scooter will have different instructions. Depending on the instructions, you may need to recharge your scooter after each time you use it. Or, you may only need to recharge it when it when the battery gauge tells you that battery charge is low.

The mobility scooter bodywork is usually made out of plastic, and so may be subjected to some wear and tear during the life of the scooter. Replacement shrouds (bodywork) for the front and rear might be available depending on the model of scooter. These are usually easy to fit, and can be fitted by the user or a local mobility dealer.

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.
