With every Big Mike’s Scooter that we sell, we take the time to ensure our customers are completely delighted. We carefully assess their ability to operate a mobility scooter as well as educate them on how to drive it safely in their local environment. We also take extra steps to ensure proper maintenance and safety when using, charging and storing the mobility scooter.
When you refer a client to us, our first step is to get to know them and understand their needs. We assess every patient individually to ensure that they can mentally and physically operate a mobility scooter in their environment.
We look at things like their balance, coordination, depth perception and reaction times. If we should have concerns, we will refer them to a qualified OT who can properly examine them.
Many of our clients are understandably thrilled the moment they first start using their mobility scooter. They treasure their newfound independence – and nothing makes us happier! We carefully instruct each client on how to properly use their scooter to help minimize accidents and incidents that could cause injury. We also consider other issues that could compromise their safety, including impairments in vision or hearing.
As clients become more comfortable using their mobility scooter, we monitor their progress at each step. Should they need more training, we’ll re-educate and re-train, as often as they need. If you would like a report of our findings, we’ll be glad to provide it so that you may assess it independently.
Research shows that the benefits of mobility scooters go beyond the physical. Our customers also enjoy considerable psychological benefits from social engagement with their peers and community. By regaining their mobility, our customers become more active participants in their local communities.
And our work doesn’t stop there. We’re always looking forward to the future of mobility scooters, including next-generation features like flashing LED lights, seat-activated cut-off switches and more. Whether your patient needs greater mobility in off-road situations, or just needs something portable for a smaller space, you can count on Big Mike’s to recommend the perfect solution.
If you want your scooter to last a lifetime, make sure it’s serviced regularly. We recommend an annual service so we can check the batteries, motor, brakes and wheel bearings. Fortunately, our mobile workshop can come to you and service your mobility scooter on the spot, it’s all included in the service.
We believe that proper training is paramount to our customers’ safety as well as the safety of others in their immediate environment, so we teach clients precisely how to brake, accelerate and move between objects – going forward and in reverse. We also teach them how to perform a three-point turn, how to navigate footpaths with ease, and deal with pedestrian crossings, uneven slopes and bus stops.
Big Mike’s sells only 4-wheeled mobility scooters, manufactured to meet or exceed a variety of national and international standards on pricing, safety, maintenance and usability. These four-wheeled models help our clients’ manoeuvre even on difficult terrain such as sloping grades or gravel roads
