Hi, my name is DaveDee933! Mobility Scooter speed
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.

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.

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

Find the latest battery for your scooter. With the same markings. Rechargeable batteries deteriorate over time, even if stored without use.

I'm having trouble with my mobility scooter, it was in the repair shop for nearly two weeks and when I got it home I got my husband to put it on charge for 48 hrs and when I finally got to go out it wasn't long before I broke down again and now I'm unable to get out.

Oh no @Dordymychavvy12 Oh what a pain! Have you spoken to the manufacturers, or the place you bought it from? Was the previous issue at least fixed?
