Tiller Bag

What people want to keep safe the most are small valuables such as phones, keys, purses and wallets, as they hold a lot of financial and personal importance. Having a bag which can be attached to the tiller of the scooter means your valuables are in sight and in reach when you need them. There are a variety of tiller bags you can get, which have easy zip fastenings and internal pockets to keep your valuables extra secure.

Lockable Box

If you need to carry larger items, and the baskets you have are not big enough and do not provide adequate security, you may want to get yourself a lockable box that can be attached to the rear of many mobility scooters. You will find there are several lockable boxes on the market, which have hard exteriors that will not only protect what is kept inside from damage but also deter anyone breaking into it. The hard exterior also means the box is waterproof too – as a bonus!

Scooter Alarm

You will also need to keep your all-terrain mobility scooter safe too. Whereas cars and motorbikes have security features built in, a scooter doesn’t always have similar features, meaning you should invest in some yourself. An alarm is a simple but very effective security device to have, and when installed it can be activated easily should you need to leave your scooter in public.

Storage Cover

If you don’t have space inside for storing your mobility scooter, it is worthwhile investing in a storage cover. Covers come in small, large and universal sizes, so you can be sure every inch of your scooter will be covered from rain, sun, snow and dust. Having a cover will mean your scooter is kept in good condition for longer, prolonging its life.

Stick Carrier

When not using a mobility scooter, you may rely on a walking stick or crutches to get around. However, when using a scooter, you need a place to your walking stick that won’t obstruct your movement, access to controls, or fall off and trip up people around you. There are handy attachments you can get that enables walking sticks or crutches to be carried on your scooter securely.

Reflectors

When it comes to driving your mobility scooter at night, early evening, low light or in the rain, having reflectors and reflective attachments on your scooter will help pedestrians, drivers and cyclists spot you easily. Attach reflectors to the front and back of your scooter and use reflective tape where you want that will make your scooter noticeable in low visibility.
