They offer both information and valuable reviews. Are you thinking of traveling by transit bus with your mobility scooter? There are a few facts you need to know.

• Is your scooter the right size? There are limitations on how big and wide your mobility scooter can be to fit on the bus. It is also your responsibility to ensure your mobility scooter is properly secured when you enter the bus.

• Use tie-down straps to keep your mobility scooter from flying through the bus when the brakes are suddenly applied. You can ask the bus driver to strap down the scooter. Entering and exiting the ramp to the bus is where most accidents occur.

As with any other business, you have to ensure you have the right product with the right warranty and refund policy when things go wrong. Beware of mobility scooter store refund policies. An elderly man wrote of a horrible experience he had. He had bought his eighty-year-old wife a mobility scooter for Christmas. She had dreamed of riding the scooter on Christmas Day on the waterfront. She died a day before Christmas. The husband was devastated.
