Mobility Scooter Laws

I realise Prague has an abundance of cobbles but I may need to hire a Mobility Scooter for my father-in -law. Help!

1) I found these places that hire mobility equipment

This is only place with actual scooter..others hire just chairs. It is ' skutr Cityliner 410 - čtyřkolový

http://www.czppraha.cz/ppomucek.php

Only manual chairs but this is national charity for the paraplegic, and can give information in general on accessibility in Prague http://www.paraple.cz/Default.aspx?tabid =80




All these sites are only in Czech ..but all have contact and email.. And I'm sure someone would be able to understand English..


Here are a few words to help you understand the site.

PLUJCOVNA = RENTAL, POMOCEK = AID (disability aid)

ELEKTRICKY SKUTR = MOBILITY SCOOTER

ELEKTRICKY VOZIK = ELECTRIC WHEEL CHAIR

MECHANICKY VOZIK = MANUAL WHEEL CHAIR

CENA = PRICE , DEN = DAY, MESIC =MONTH

KONTATKY = CONTACT

1 euro = roughly 28 kronas






2)I personally think a wheel chair would be easier if possible.. A scooter might be a little difficult to travel around on..

However here are some informations that I hope you will find helpful.
Information on assessable public transport

These companies organise disabled friendly holidays to Prague..and can hire out equipments to customers. So maybe it is worth contacting them if you have trouble finding a scooter

This is a demonstration of the Harmar Mobility scooter lift we are selling on e-Bay. It belonged to my father-in-law who passed away and so it is ...

I don't know the law regarding riding with a passenger on my scooter, but a quick one couldn't do any harm. Are their any safety issues?

go for it!!!!!!!
