Common faults and the cost of repairs
Batteries. Mobility scooter batteries need to be replaced when they no longer hold a charge. There are many battery sizes and technologies, such as AGM, GEL and Li-ION and there are lots of manufacturers of replacement batteries, but the quality varies vastly between manufacturers. There are also a lot of batteries being sold on places like eBay which are sold as new but are in fact older or rejuvenated batteries, so be careful what you buy. We supply batteries from Strident and MK and both of these companies have excellent reputations for high quality batteries.
Before we replace any batteries, we always test them first using our state-of-the-art battery testing equipment, specially calibrated for mobility scooter and powerchair batteries, so you only replace them if you really need to.

If your mobility scooters motor brake is faulty, you would should get a flash code or beeping sequence on your mobility scooter. The Electromagnetic brake is designed to be on in its default mode and as you drive off you will hear a small click which is the sound of the brake releasing. Another symptom that you may need to replace the motor brake, is if the scooter isn't holding itself on an incline. The cost of a motor brake (Part only) ranges between £80 and £140.
