For those disabled people that just want to get about their local area, we also cover topics relating to the purchase, hire and maintenance of mobility scooters. As part of this we go into detail about such things as breakdown cover, whether to buy a new or second hand mobility scooter and taking your mobility scooter on public transport. In addition the section also deals with schemes such as Shopmobility, which allows disabled shoppers to hire mobility scooters to travel around towns and cities to do their shopping.
