Ride With Funny Accessories For Mobility Scooter

Once you have purchased yourself a scooter, you may want to look at all the handy mobility scooter accessories available for your mobility equipment. There are a multitude of accessories for you to choose from. Here is a list of some that might be of interest.

Extra batteries

Having a second battery is highly recommended so that you are never stranded with a dead battery.

Saddle bags and backpacks

Different sizes of bags are made to give extra storage space. You can get ones that go over the arm rest and behind the seat or head rest.

Wire or plastic baskets

Made for the front of portable mobility scooters or to go behind the seat. These also give additional places to put your things. Baskets are great for shopping and will leave your hands free for driving and purchasing items.

Headlights, tail lights, turn signals and mirrors

These items are options for those who will be utilizing their scooter on roadways. Check with your local law enforcement or department of transportation for rules and regulations concerning requirements for using your scooter on the roadways.

Canopies

Canopies are for covering and protecting you and your scooter from the weather.

Scooter Covers

Consider purchasing a cover if you will be transporting your scooter on the outside of your vehicle on a hitch platform lift.

Special Tires

Custom tires (such as pneumatic) are available to give your scooter a smoother more cushioned ride. All terrain tires can also give added capabilities for traveling in gravel or dirt. You should check the manufacturer specifications to make sure your scooter is compatible with these modifications.

The Different Accessories You Can Add

  • You can also find some funny accessories for mobility scooters such as horns, decals and decorative lighting to make your scooter uniquely yours.

  • Custom decals are available for you to add your name or whatever suits you.

  • Several manufacturers (such as Pride mobility scooters and Golden) make mobility scooter accessories specific to their makes and models. Check with the manufacturer for further details.

  • You can also purchase generic accessories that are made to fit almost any scooter model.

Mobility Scooter Insurance

While you are thinking about accessories, it is a good time to give consideration to often overlooked mobility scooter insurance. While it is optional, just like accessories, insurance can give you the security of knowing you are covered in the event of an accident.

  • Insurance can cover items such as repairing damages if your scooter is hit, renting you a replacement scooter until yours is repaired or completely replacing your scooter if it is not repairable.

  • You can look online or ask your regular insurance agent about mobility scooter insurance.

  • Choose a policy that is affordable yet provides the maximum coverage.

  • If premiums are too high for your budget, you might consider a higher deductible with coverage if you have a total loss.

Purchasing mobility scooter accessories is a fun way to add style and even more functionality to your unit. You might want to visit a retailer (either online or physically) and browse the options available to you. Give some thought to purchasing insurance to protect your investment in the unfortunate event the unthinkable actually happens.
