Best Mobility Scooter

Those mobility scooters are pretty fast, to be sure, but they have one major weakness: stairs. Heck, even a curb should be good enough. Climb up that one step and laugh heroically!

This is THE WORLDS FASTEST MOBILITY SCOOTER clocking a national speed breaking 71.59mph at santa pod on 14th october 2010. Guinness world records ...

Hi

I have a friend who is disabled and I'm looking for a folding, lightweight mobility scooter. She likes to travel so a scooter which folds easily is essential. Does anyone know where the best place to buy is? Hopefully at a good price!

Thanks

Hello. I recently found this folding scooter which I bought for my mum: http://www.cheapwheelchairs.co.uk/mobili ty_scooter.htm

She has had the scooter for a couple of months now and has had no problems with it. It dismantles easily which is great for transportation in the car.

Hope this helps you.

My mobility scooter has a 270W motor. It operates with two 12V 12AH batteries. The battery charger works only with 110 current. Voltage converters seem to be rated by watts. What capacity voltage converter would I need to purchase to recharge my batteries in Europe? I don't want to tote around any more bulk or weight than necessary. Same question for a 450W scooter.
My charger is 2amps.

Rascal, your main question is the minimum capacity to charge those 2 batteries, and how long that it will take. Generally, chargers are rated at a volts and amps rating. I'm willing to bet that your 2 batteries are wired in series. You would need a charger that supplies at least 27 watts, or 1.2 amps, at 24 volts.
Now, let's change this around a little bit and get something that you don't need an electrical outlet for, and would go just about anywhere that you want to go. Look up "fuel cells". These nifty devices are small, but can charge your battery litterally anywhere, so long as you have fuel to power it. Generally they use propane, so a 1 or 2 pound cylinder would provide easy power to recharge your batteries. This means that with a little planning, you would be free to explore where you would never consider going before. The fuel cell burns a fuel, with air, and creates electricity. What I have seen, and asked about are fairly small, but can deliver the voltage, and current that you need. Their efficiency is over 85% for energy in, versus energy out.

I want to buy an electric (non mobility scooter) and use it within my town in New Jersey however I am wondering something What is the speed limit a person with an electric scooter can go before it becomes illegal and does it really require a moped / motorcycle license even if it goes 19 mph?

19mph

I have an 18 month old mobility scooter in north London, but I am having trouble giving it away. Can anyone suggest a place, a person or an organisation that would appreciate what is an expensive piece of equipment? Thanks for your help.

You could contact your local GP Surgery as I am sure they may know someone who is desperate for a mobility scooter but cannot afford the cost. I am a Practice Manager for a GP in South London and could name you at least two people from my surgery who would jump at the chance to make their life easier and open up the outside world to them once more.
