Mobility Scooter Bags

There are various types of mobility scooter bags designed to cater to different storage needs:

• Rear bags: Rear bags attach to the backrest or rear of the scooter, offering more storage space for larger items, groceries, or personal belongings.
• Armrest bags: These bags attach to the scooter's armrests and are convenient for storing items like phones, snacks, or small accessories.

Properly securing and balancing the weight in your mobility scooter bag is essential for maintaining stability and safety:

• Weight distribution: Distribute the weight evenly in the bag to prevent one side of the scooter from becoming heavier than the other. This helps maintain balance and stability during turns.
• Heavy items: Place heavier items at the bottom of the bag, closer to the scooter's centre of gravity. This prevents the bag from sagging or causing the scooter to tilt.
• Secure attachment: Ensure that the bag is securely attached to the scooter, especially if it's mounted externally. Loose bags can shift and affect your balance and control.
• Bag capacity: Don't overload the bag beyond its recommended weight capacity. Excessive weight can impact your scooter's stability and handling.
• Visibility and access: Make sure the bag's contents don't obstruct your visibility or access to controls, lights, or indicators.

Properly securing and balancing the weight in your mobility scooter bag enhances safety and prevents any potential instability during your rides.

Using mobility scooter bags for air travel or other forms of transportation depends on the type of bag and the specific regulations of the transportation provider:

• Air travel: Some airlines allow certain types of mobility scooter bags as carry-on or checked baggage. Check with the airline regarding their policies, including size, weight limits, and any specific requirements.
• Public transportation: When using public transportation, check with the transit authority about their guidelines for bringing mobility scooter bags on buses, trains, or subways. Some systems may have restrictions on the size or type of bags allowed.
• Other transportation: If you're planning to use other forms of transportation, such as coaches, taxis or rideshares, confirm with the service provider whether mobility scooter bags are allowed and how they should be secured.
