Mobility Scooters

Regular maintenance includes:

• Checking tire pressure
• Cleaning the scooter
• Charging the battery properly
• Scheduling routine service checks to ensure everything is in good working order

Always follow the manufacturer’s maintenance guidelines, and have someone help you if you’re unable to maintain your scooter alone.

Yes, but we recommend using caution when riding a mobility scooter in winter conditions. Check your tires frequently in winter to make sure they will have adequate traction, and be mindful of ice and snow, as these can be slipping hazards.

You should also charge your battery more frequently, as cold conditions can cause batteries to drain faster than usual.

The range of a mobility scooter varies by model, but our models can travel up to 50 kilometers on a single charge. The range can also be affected by the following factors:

• The condition of your battery
• The terrain you ride on
• Rider weight

Some extended health insurance plans may cover mobility scooters if they are deemed medically necessary. Check with your provider for details, as coverage varies.

You can purchase a mobility scooter from local retailers like Calgary eBikes. There are also several government programs that may be able to provide financial assistance for your mobility scooter if you are eligible, including:

• Savings from the Disability Tax Credit
• Alberta Aids to Daily Living (AADL): A provincial program that sets aside limited funds for powered wheelchairs.
• Easter Seals Society: A group dedicated to helping children and young adults with physical disabilities
• Veterans Affairs Canada: Via POC 13: Special Equipment

An electric scooter is typically designed for recreational use and higher speeds, whereas a mobility scooter is intended to assist individuals with limited mobility. Our mobility scooters provide a stable, low-speed option for personal transportation.

Our mobility scooters are designed with safety in mind. Many of our models include safety features like:

• Stable, ergonomic designs
• Hydraulic front braking systems
• Motorcycle suspension to reduce shocks from bumps
• Full lighting system for increased visibility

Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and local regulations for maximum safety.

In Calgary, people using mobility aids are considered pedestrians—so your mobility scooters cannot be used on public roads. However, they can be used on sidewalks, crosswalks, and in pedestrian areas.
