How to Stay Mobile When You’re Not

Staying mobile isn’t just about convenience, it’s also a big factor in maintaining independence, enjoying social connections and living life to the fullest! For individuals with reduced mobility, whether this is due to age, injury, or health conditions, mobility scooters can offer an invaluable solution. Whether you use a mobility scooter, or are considering one, this blog will explore how to choose the best model for you, as well as some ways you can stay active alongside this.

Choose the Right Mobility Scooter

The right mobility scooter for you will depend on your lifestyle and requirements. Factors to consider are:

Range and Battery Life

This will depend on how far you plan to travel on your mobility scooter. There are a variety of scooters that have different ranges to suit your needs at East Coast Mobility.

Size and Comfort

Choose a model that suits your body size and provides adequate cushioning so you can travel in comfort.

Portability

If you plan to travel either by car or aeroplane, there are a lots of foldable, lightweight options that might be the right choice for you.

Terrain

A big factor that will dictate the mobility scooter you choose is the terrain you’ll be riding on. If you’re looking to travel off road, a sturdier model will be more suited to you. However, if you’ll be sticking to pavements, there are a range of scooters that are slightly more lightweight that could be right for you.

Staying Active

Mobility scooters support movement, but it’s also important to keep your body active where possible. There are several light exercises you can do that match your abilities. Chair yoga or seated stretches are a great way to add some gentle movement that will keep you feeling more mobile. Gentle arm and leg movements are a good way to maintain circulation.

Plan your Route

Whether it’s a trip to the local park, a shopping run, or vising a friend’s house, planning your routes will ensure you have a smoother ride. Checking for mobility scooter-friendly paths and planning your journey so you’re on the right terrain can help your travels be stress-free. Be sure you have enough charge for the distance you plan to go.

Stay Connected

Reduced mobility can sometimes lead to feelings of isolation, but it doesn’t have to! With a mobility scooter’s help, you can still attend community events or social gatherings, visit friends and family and explore your local area. Staying socially active can improve your mental well-being and overall happiness, which is important.

Mobility challenges don’t have to limit your freedom or enjoyment of life. With the right tools, mindset and preparation, you can continue to explore and connect with others. A mobility scooter is more than just a mode of transport, it’s a way to take back your independence and mobility.

Mr Barrett

From start to finish, the service has been fantastic. From ensuring the reconditioned scooter I purchased was in top condition, to the great delivery experience through to dealing with helpful lady on the phone. I was most grateful for the non pushy sales approach - you gave me time to think. Extra information and assistance was immediately on hand. I cannot fault East Coast Mobility!

Audrey Wandsworth

Thank you so much for coming to my aid at Beccles Medical Centre. I wish we had more local businesses, and not just the internet for service.

Robert Smith

Just received my Cabin Car back after work done. The service I got was exceptional.

Not only was the work done to a brilliant standard they collected and delivered it too.

Well done East Coast Mobility! I thoroughly recommend them to anyone with mobility scooter problems.

Thank you to all the staff for a first class experience.

Caroline Long

Absolutely brilliant service, while she was very poorly my Mum's stair lift stopped working and got stuck in a doorway in a really awkward place so I called round a few places but most couldn't help very quickly.

East Coast Mobility not only told me how to move it so it wasn't in the way anymore but they also came out the following day and got it fixed with new batteries! Such a relief and all done sooo quickly.

Vinnie Harris

Great people who are very helpful. Reasonably priced and great variety of products. Highly recommend these people. Great to support a family business.

Jane Walker

I recently needed to purchase a recliner chair for my mother, I contacted East Coast Mobility having dealt with them before, our needs were sorted over the phone, efficiently, with compassion and delivered within 48 hours.

Despite my mother not keen on a recliner chair she absolutely loves it!

Lynda

It all worked out well in the end.
Easy Access Ramp is pucker!

Love Lynda

Karen Neil

I can't thank Grant and everyone enough at East Coast Mobility for their fantastic help in installing my stairlifts and at an affordable price beating several others I had round.

Giving me back some desperately needed independence for which I thank them with all my heart, they honestly went above and beyond.

I have no hesitation in highly recommending them to anyone that needs help or advice, they really do care.

Paul Green

I feel I must write and say a huge thank you for the service my wife and I received last week when we came to look at new scooters.

We were both very pleased with how comfortable and reliable they are and were pleasantly surprised at the professional approach we received from Grant.

Malcolm Lyell

Excellent service. We needed an engineer late in afternoon to fix my father's stairlift as he could not have got to toilet or bed that night. They left the workshop and attended within 30 mins - fault fixed!

Very helpful and knowledgeable.

Chris Bartlett

A very pleasant place to go for your mobility equipment. Staff are very knowledgeable and very helpful.

I've used them for several years now and they have always accommodated all my disability needs.
