Buying a mobility scooter


Using a mobility scooter


Maintaining a mobility scooter

  • How often do I need to replace my mobility scooter’s batteries?

    If you are using it occasionally, you may get a few years out of a single battery. If you use your mobility scooter more regularly, you may get 12-18 months out of the battery.

    You'll know it's time to replace your battery when your mobility scooter can't travel as far as it used to on a single charge. You can purchase a new battery during a regular service. If you have RAA Road Service, you can also purchase a replacement battery from one of our patrols.

    If you are unsure if your battery needs replacing, call our experts on 8202 4477.

  • How often should I service my mobility scooter?

    Shoprider (the brand we sell at RAA) recommends that you get your scooter serviced every six months. This can help to prolong the life of your scooter and maintain its reliability. 

    Shoprider mobility scooters can be serviced at our Mile End workshop, or we can come to you if you live in metro Adelaide. RAA members receive a discount on servicing and parts for Shoprider models. 

    Mobile servicing is subject to the suitability and safety of the location as determined by RAA. Mobile servicing and pick-up/drop-off service is available in metropolitan Adelaide only. Additional fees will apply if you require RAA to pick up/drop off your scooter from your home for a major service at our Mile End workshop.
  • What happens if my mobility scooter breaks down?

    If you hold any level of RAA Road Service, we'll do our best to get you going again if your mobility scooter breaks down or gets a flat tyre. Call 13 11 11 or use the RAA app to request help. For more information on help available to you, refer to our Road Services Entitlements Guide.

    If you own a Shoprider mobility scooter, you can book repairs by calling RAA on 8202 4477. RAA members receive a discount on servicing costs and parts for Shoprider models.
