Mobility Scooter Covers, Rain Covers and Waterproof Covers

Other important elements to consider when purchasing covers for mobility scooters 

There are a wide range of features and accessories to think about when it comes to buying your scooter.

Some mobility scooters’ batteries are exposed, which means that they are at risk of being impacted by the weather. Therefore, a cover that includes that area, or a special battery cover is something you should look out for.

If charging occurs outside, the cover should include the charge cable and equipment. It should have an access panel or loosen to provide access.

One further consideration is a set of mobility scooter ramps. Ramps are usually made of two lightweight rails that create a safe lift or slide to higher or lower doorways, and are a very handy option to have for anyone with a physical impairment. You can also buy covers that you can use to protect your mobility ramp.

You also want something that is robust and strong so that you can protect your mobility scooter properly. Rigid mobility scooter covers will last a long time and protect your vehicle from wind, snow and dust, as well as rain. 

If your mobility is limited and you think you may not have the ability to lift the cover on and off, then a control panel of sorts could be a very useful mechanism to go with the cover. 

Heavy duty mobility scooter covers

With heavy duty covers for mobility scooters, you can be assured that no matter how hard the rain comes down; your delicate electronics will not be damaged. Make sure to avoid pooling of water on the top by pulling the cover tight on heavy duty mobility scooter covers.

Mobility scooter shelters

A mobility scooter shelter with solid or partly solid materials might be your preferred choice. For example, for those living in coastal areas, protecting yourself against the wind may be something that is of primary concern.

High winds will carry away most covers that are not attached to the ground or scooter in some way. Therefore, using a shelter may give you more protection

There is no more devastating effect on the human conscience than to watch your mobility scooter shelter sail away in the wind. Make sure you anchor it down!

Mobility Scooter Storage: Mobility Scooter Rain Cover 

A mobility scooter with an elasticated fit is easier for some people to place on their mobility scooter. If the other styles reviewed won’t work for you, the easy use of the rain cover for mobility scooter with an elasticated fit will step up to the challenge.

VAT relief could save you a good deal of money. Various types of covers can be given VAT exemption. The item must be for a disabled person to qualify for VAT relief.

So, you may wonder, why all the panic over a cover? The obvious reason is to keep it dry in the rain and waterproof covers for mobility scooters are the only way you can do that. 

There is more to think about than just simple rain. What about heavy coastal storms?

A storm could leave things as dangerous as broken glass, jewellery or wood lying around, so you should find something that will protect your vehicle from this. 

Don’t forget all your friends on four legs that will most certainly come to check out your new cover. The canine type will test the cover for you right away.

Larger animals may bump against the scooter while it is parked. With a solidly built shelter, the risk of damage to your mobility scooter will be considerably lower than with a soft cover.

Covers to protect the scooter while you drive are important as well. Scooter battery compartments that are not sealed will need a cover as well, to keep them clean and dry.

In addition, the controls on the control panel will need to be protected. Clear plastic or vinyl control panel covers will keep everything dry and allow you to keep full control while driving.
