A growing number of people use power scooters for mobility – it’s their way of surviving. But what if someone told you that winter was better for mobility? Wouldn’t you agree? That summer might benefit mobility, too? Perhaps even that fall and spring provided the best seasons for mobility scooters?
I’m willing to bet that you’ll agree with me. A mobility scooter won’t be as suitable for those seasons with colder temperatures, rainy days, or slippery surfaces. It would probably feel downright impossible to take mobility on the road in conditions that fall or winter.
There’s a reason mobility is a lot easier in warm weather:
- It is less uncomfortable for the user.
- It is more convenient, at least, for the user.
- It is better for the people around a mobility scooter.
The fall and winter months are usually darker and colder than the spring and summer months. Mobility scooters struggle to climb hills, and slippery sidewalks covered with ice or snow can challenge some mobility scooters. During spring, however, things change dramatically. It’s warmer out, and the days get longer, making it easier to get outdoors.
While the weather is still cool in the mornings, it warms up quickly during daylight hours. With longer days, you can get out and about more often to run errands or enjoy fun activities. You can also easily do your weekly shopping without having to rely on others for rides or asking someone if they could run your errands for you.
Other Reasons Why Spring The Perfect Season For Mobility Scooters
| In the spring, you can start gardening and cutting the lawn. | If your mobility scooter has large tires or can climb higher, it can assist these projects. You could try using the scooter to pull weeds in the garden and around trees and rocks. It’s much easier than doing it by hand. |
| Spring is the ideal time to get a new mobility scooter or do some upgrades to your current one. | You can save 10%-20% by getting your scooter during early spring before the summer rush begins. Additionally, you might want to consider adding LED lights to the front and rear of your mobility scooter. They are very bright and can make it safer when riding at night. I have a blog post about upgrading your mobility scooter with LED lights that can help you decide if you would like to do. |
| Springtime is also great for shopping for a new mobility scooter or accessories. | All stores are likely to have great discounts and sales. If you’ve been thinking about getting a new mobility scooter, now’s the time to take action. Many people save up their money during the winter months and make a big purchase early spring. |
Riding a mobility scooter through mud and puddles of water can be challenging. Still, with the weather finally starting to warm up, you won’t need to worry as much about this. Your scooter will be able to handle most situations that you might run into during spring, such as gravel or uneven terrain covered in grass.
Conclusion
I love the springtime because the winter weather is finally over. I enjoy being outdoors more often, especially on nice weekends when I drive with my wife in my mobility scooter. Among other reasons, spring is a better time to use or buy a mobility scooter than other seasons.
