How do I get my mobility scooter into a car?
Most transportable mobility scooters are designed to fold or dismantle into a few easy to manage pieces, which will fit easily into most cars. You simply dismantle the scooter and lift the pieces into the boot or back seat. There are various systems for dismantling and some are easier to use than others.
Larger mobility scooters may well need a different approach. Some will dismantle in much the same way as transportable scooters but you must remember that the component pats will be heavier to lift. Larger mobility scooters generally have larger batteries, motors and seats and as such are more comfortable to use but will be less easy to transport.
If you have an estate car or a people carrier you may be able to get your scooter in with the use of ramps. This is fairly straightforward but it is important that you select the right scooter and ramp combination. Please contact us for details.
You also have the option to hoist your mobility scooter into your car. This will mean having a lifting system fitted to your car, which can lift the scooter straight in with hook and a pulley. Again it is important that you ensure the car and scooter are compatible with a hoist system before you buy. We can advise on these combinations so please contact us for details. |
