Did you know that Quebec has a guide about using #wheelchairs and (3&4 wheel) #mobilityscooters on bike & roll routes? cdn-contenu.quebec.ca/cdn-contenu/... #pwd

Cover of guide with illustration of mobility scooter and wheelchair on crosswalk. Title: Motorized mobility aids (MMA). Use of an electric wheelchair, three wheel mobility scooter or four wheel mobility scooter on public roads.Traffic rules
The traffic rules for motorized mobility aids (MMAs) apply on public roads,
private roads open to public vehicular traffic and on land occupied by
shopping centres and other land where public traffic is allowed.
With some exceptions, an individual using an MMA must follow the traffic
rules that apply to:
» pedestrians (in French only) when travelling on a sidewalk or when leaving
the sidewalk to enter an intersection,
» cyclists when riding in a cycle lane, on a roadway or shoulder.
However, certain rules were adapted to take into account the characteristics
specific to each type of MMA and to regulate their operation to ensure the
safety of the MMA user and all other road users. The following sections present
the rules to follow, according to the infrastructure used.

"In the UK, fully-powered mobility aids are only allowed to carry one person in public spaces – including [sidewalks] and roads. That’s restricting Disabled people’s ability to make essential journeys using safe, efficient aids that work for them" #MobilityScooters

My mobility scooter suddenly started going MASSIVELY slow after going over a pretty slow bump. Anyone in the feed know what the issue might be?

I know from experience it is basically impossible to get a professional to look at it.

Edit: looking for this info to see if I can fix it myself, not suggestions of where to take it. I have thoroughly explored those options.

ETA Insurance: 'A mobility scooter built for two? Illegal, says government'

eta.co.uk/2024/03/13/a-mobilit

'Mobility scooters offer a social lifeline for around half a million people here in the UK, and yet two-seater models remain illegal. We believe mobility scooter users should not be discriminated against in this way.'

Why have I only just found out that if you use mobility aids, a mobility scooter or wheelchair, that you don’t have to wait in the queue at Primark. You just go to the end till (nearest shop floor.) and someone will see to you.

I mean, I don’t go out shopping very often, so that’s probably why 😂
