You might be tempted to lock your mobility scooter away over the winter months, thinking that the inclement weather will cause more trouble than it's worth.

Access ramps for mobility scooters and wheelchairs are usually rather heavy, which makes it very difficult for people with mobility problems to carry them and position them correctly. So there w...
With the British weather being as unpredictable as it is – even during the summer months – it’s useful to be prepared for even the most sudden downpours. Fortunately, there are plenty of scooter rain protection accessories to help you out.
