Mobility Scooters
Posts on some lightweight battery powered mobility scooters that can be used on the pavement and are mainly powered by lithium ion dry cell batteries.
I have owned a Travelscoot since 2011. It has totally transformed my life and given back to my independence. The great advantage as far a I am concerned is that it does not make me feel disabled even though I cannot walk unaided. Also it is a unique and totally practical design.
TO SELL
If you have a Travelscoot mobility scooter you would like to sell then please email me at patrick@aid4disabled.com I have successfully sold quite a few through this website. I will write a blog post or advert to let people know that one is available for purchase. I will then issue an email to everyone on my email subscription list and use social media to promote the sale. All you will need to do is send me a couple of photos, just one of the Travelscoot & one showing the battery details plus a brief description. I can advise you on a sensible price to ask for it. I will need your email address, the area where you live and the selling price. You are responsible for selling the Travelscoot but please tell me when you completed the sale.
Incidentally 2nd hand Travelscoots are like hens teeth.
