F.A.Q.
WHAT IS THE BEST MOBILITY SCOOTER FOR TRAVELLING?
There are now a few on the market suitable for travelling, but we recommend the Luggie manufactured by Freerider. This is an Ideal scooter to take with you on the plane or for a cruise. The reason is this scooter can do things the others can’t. It is exceptionally well designed and engineered and easy to fold. A unique feature of the luggie is its half fold position. This means you can make use of the leverage when loading in the car, by simply leaning one end against the boot and picking up the other end from the ground and rolling in. The half fold also makes it much safer when going into the luggage hold of a plane.
ARE ELECTRIC FOLDING WHEELCHAIRS EASY TO OPERATE?
Yes! They are especially suitable for people who lack upper body strength, movement and balance. Very easy to operate via the joystick that can be mounted on either the left or right armrest. Compact, lightweight, easy to fold, and great for travel.
HOW LONG DO LITHIUM BATTERIES LAST?
If charged regularly lithium batteries should last up to three years or longer. When in storage and not in use make sure they are charged every fortnight or so, but at least every month to prevent them developing an over discharge fault. Lithium batteries can be topped up and do not have a battery memory like Lead acid batteries.
CAN MOBILITY SCOOTERS AND ELECTRIC WHEELCHAIRS BE INSURED?
Yes. Contact your insurance company and they should be able to help you.
CAN WE TRY BEFORE WE BUY?
Yes! We offer trials in most areas of Victoria. You can call us on 1300 243 475, or you can have your occupational therapist call or email to arrange an appointment.
