How To Accessorize Your Mobility Scooter
Mobility scooters have been very helpful to those who have mobility issues, but did you know you can accessorize your mobility scooter and make it even better? Everything from baskets to bags and holders, these mobility scooter accessories can bring you even more convenience and comfort. Travel easier with these amazing mobility scooter accessories.
Accessorize To Carry Everything You Need:
Your mobility scooter should maximize your comfort and convenience. Having to carry everything in your hands or lap is not really convenient, but not to worry, there are ways to accessorize your mobility scooter to where you are able to bring everything you need and be hands (and lap) free!
The most favored mobility scooter accessory is the front and rear basket. Many mobility scooters come with a front basket, but if yours doesn’t or you need a new one, you can purchase just the basket. These scooter baskets are great for placing items you don’t want to hold while driving. Free up your arms, hands, or lap! Some of the front baskets are brand-specific to either Pride Go-Go Mobility Scooter or Golden Buzzaround Scooter, so be sure that you’re getting the basket made for your scooter.
Not only is there a front basket, but there’s the option of a rear basket as well. Hold even more items and heavier items with a rear basket!
Where to hold your cell phone? Placing it in the basket makes it hard to use. Putting it in your pocket is not the best place. Having your phone sit on your lap is risky. A must-have mobility scooter accessory is the cell phone holder. These cell phone holders are mounted onto the steering column, making it easy to use for calls or navigation. This is one of those ‘hidden gems’ accessory.
Every mobility scooter needs cup holders! The Liquid Caddy Cup Holder features a gimble, so your drink never spills. It’s like having a suspension of its own. It’s easy to install and easy to use. Now you can enjoy your drinks on the go and keep your hands free! Customize it even more by choosing black, white, or blue cup holders.
If you want to access your drink even more easily, the Diestco Cup Holder mounts right onto the armrest (or any other exposed tubing area).
