Hi, my name is DaveDee933! Mobility Scooter speed

DaveDee933

Came across this forum by chance when researching about Mobility scooters why theyare restricted to 8 mph in the UK, as usual government red tape dictating what we can and can't do. On long straight footpaths 4mph is boring.

Hey, some of us couldn’t jump out of your way quick enough if you’re going to do more than 8mph🤣

A woman who lives near me must have modified hers, she’s a complete menace on the pavements.

Hi @DaveDee933 and welcome to the community. As @vikki66 said we might not be able to get out of the way if you're going so fast 😂 I understand the need for speed but we've got to consider other people on the path.

SHE who is a footpath Shoemaker should be warned such speeds are illegal and liable to presecution. After driving for over 7 decades I have only resorted to a scooty as a result of physical issues so am hyper aware of the dangers of speed so would not dream of endangering any pedestrian however there are old railway lines near me that have been converted to cycles routes and a meagre 4 mph on such is like watching paint dry. Shalom Dave.

I reckon there must be some contributer on this forum that anticipates Titus 2-13 with great anticipation -as do I - in light of major things happening world wide, how close do you think we are to this climatic event? SHALOM dd

I’ll admit I thought Titus was maybe like an ultra-super-comet or something, and had to look it up.

But I got another laugh at how thick I am

Let me tell you a secret - mobility scooter and e-scooter have a brake and can slow down when necessary. If the scooter driver behaves like a kamikaze, he will run over you at any speed).

Different subject : - The needle on the battery meter shows fully charged but only allows for a two mile drive then stops, suggesting the batteries are past their sell by date. Any suggestions [from experience] as to where the best batteries yet reasonable priced can be purchase on line? Thanks
