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.

The only other major thing to remember about maintaining your mobility scooter is simply keeping it clean. Cleaning the dirt and grime off of your scooter benefits you not only because the scooter looks better, but also because that dirt can get into the mechanical parts of the scooter and cause unnecessary additional wear-and-tear. Keep the scooter in proper working order and clean any dust, dirt, or grime that builds up, especially on the metal parts. Keep the scooter somewhere indoors so that it will stay dry and won’t be exposed to extreme hot or cold temperatures. This will go a long way towards keeping the battery healthy as well as keeping the electric scooter clean. As you’re cleaning the scooter, remember to check the terminal battery connections and clean any corrosion off.

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.
