To keep your mobility scooter in optimum condition and good working order, it’s recommended that you have it serviced regularly – at least once a year. The price you pay for a mobility scooter service will vary depending on the specification of your mobility equipment, as well as the extent of any repair and new parts needed.

Mobility scooter service cost

The average mobility scooter cost in the UK is around £55 - £100 per service, excluding the cost of any major repair work or spare parts that might be needed.

Mobility scooter hire

If you choose to hire your mobility scooter, rather than buying one, then you may find that the servicing costs are covered in your hire fees. It’s always worth confirming this before signing a mobility scooter hire agreement, so that you know what costs are and aren’t covered by your hire charges.

What does a mobility scooter service involve?

Most reputable companies that offer mobility scooter servicing will perform full multi-point inspection of your scooter, including checks that cover:

• Batteries and connections

• Motors and brushes

• Seating

• Wheels and tyres

• Controls and wiring

• Lights and horns

• Brakes

• Steering

• Chassis joints and transaxle mounts

• A full road test

The usual procedure is that the mobility scooter will be serviced and then, if any major faults are discovered during the service, you’ll be given an update on the repair work that needs doing and an estimate for how much it will cost – before they do the work.

It’s always confirming this process with the mobility scooter servicing company before you hire them, so that you understand how they will carry out the service – so you don’t get any nasty surprises or an unexpected big bill at the end.

A standard mobility scooter battery can usually last somewhere in the region of 1- 3 years – although most manufacturers generally only offer a 12-month warranty on mobility scooter batteries.

The average lifespan of a mobility scooter battery will depend on the amount of usage. For example, if you only use your mobility scooter a couple of times a week, then you’re more likely to get a longer lifespan from your battery – up to 3 years.

On the other hand, if you use your mobility scooter for long journeys on a daily basis, then the lifespan will be shorter – somewhere between 12 - 18 months.

How long does a mobility scooter battery last per charge?

If you charge and store your mobility scooter properly (according to the manufacturer’s guidance), and depending on the specification of your scooter and battery capacity, you should be able to travel around 20-45km per charge.

It’s also worth paying attention to how you drive your mobility scooter, as that will affect how far you can go on a single charge. Bursts of acceleration will drain the battery quicker than driving at a steady speed.

Stairlifts are the main mobility solution to help with climbing up or down the stairs. However, there are alternatives that could help – depending on the reason why a stairlift isn’t an option.

Small step climbing aids

If you’re struggling to use your stairs but you still have some mobility and aren’t quite ready to fork out for an expensive stair lift or move house, smaller steps could be the answer.

There are various stair climbing aids available that offer an affordable stair lift alternative. They work by installing a stationary half step to each existing step on your staircase, to make them easier to use by massively reducing the effort it takes to climb up or down the stairs.

Stair climbers

A stair climber is an alternative to a stair lift if you’re not looking for a permanently installed piece of equipment. Stair climbers are typically a battery-powered and fully mobile piece of equipment that can go up and down a staircase, either with a seat or as a wheelchair carrier.
