Yes, customers are allowed to use and store mobility scooters in their home under certain conditions.
Requirements for Storing a Mobility Scooter
- Type of Property:
Customers can store a mobility scooter if they live in a house, bungalow, or flat that has an independent entrance and private access. This is important to ensure that the scooter does not obstruct shared areas or pose a safety risk to other residents. - Access and Space:
The home should have sufficient space for the safe storage of the scooter without blocking exits or access points. It is important that mobility scooters do not block emergency exits or common pathways. - Charging:
Ensure that the home has a safe and appropriate place for charging the mobility scooter, ideally away from areas with high foot traffic to avoid potential hazards.
If the property does not meet these conditions, alternative storage arrangements may need to be considered, such as designated storage areas.
