Scooters for disabled come in various sizes and numbers of wheels. The vehicle strength and sturdiness depends on the numbers of wheels. These vehicles ease the travel woes of the disabled people and are reliable in nature. The smallest of all are the two wheel mobility aided scooters, which are collapsible and portable to handle. They can be dismantled and transported from one place to the other. The user might find few problems while operating these mobility based scooters.
Problem with portable scooters-battery related
These are two wheel driven light scooters, which can be dismantled when not in use. Due to its dismantling nature, sometimes it creates troubles while operating it or while switching it on. One of the reasons why the scooter doesn’t start even though the battery is fully charged is because the battery is not connected or placed properly. This problem can be solved by an individual by checking its correct placing position in the base of the scooter. The batteries which are clip type, both the clips should be connected properly to the battery terminal for smooth running of the vehicle.
Problem with portable scooters-harness related
The portable scooters need to be assembled after every dismantling. They are easily transferable in transportation services due to their dismantling option. While rearranging, sometimes the harness which connects the front to the rear part of the scooter may get dislodged and this creates trouble while using the scooter for mobility. An individual should check this connection and fit it properly between the front and the rear for trouble free riding of the handicap scooter.
Scooters for disabled and their batteries
Most of the problems faced by the owners of disability-aided scooters are battery related problems. In instances where the scooter does not run smoothly or runs slowly even if the full throttle is pressed, the problem may lie with the charge of the battery. One should charge the battery fully to ensure smooth running of their vehicle. There are many instances where the battery meter dips very low when the throttle is pressed. This also happens due to low battery. An individual should charge the scooter’s battery fully before operating it. Sometimes the battery meter dips due to the over use of the scooter’s batteries. Due to the use over a long period of time, the batteries might be nearing their end and they should be tested with load for strength.
Problems with circuit breaker
The general factor which ensures the smooth running of the mobility scooters are their batteries. All the mechanisms and machine circuit system is connected to the battery. If a scooter’s circuit breaker trips frequently then the problem lies with the batteries of the scooter. In this case, one has to charge the scooter’s batteries more often. This problem occurs if the batteries are old or have been used for a long time. The solution to this problem is to have a loaded test for strength. This is done by the mechanics or the service centre of the company from which the scooter is bought.
