🚙 BEFORE YOU BUY A VEHICLE LIFT… MAKE SURE YOUR VEHICLE CAN HANDLE IT!

A vehicle lift can make transporting a mobility scooter or power chair much easier, but choosing the right lift involves more than just matching it to your mobility device.

Here are a few things that need to work together:

⚖️ Mobility Device Weight
Know the actual weight of your scooter or power chair, including batteries and accessories.

🏋️ Lift Capacity
Every lift has a maximum weight rating. Your mobility device needs to stay safely within that limit.

🚗 Vehicle Compatibility
The vehicle itself matters. Hitch rating, tongue-weight capacity, ground clearance, suspension, and overall setup can all affect which lift is appropriate.

📏 Lift Size
Make sure the platform or lifting system properly accommodates the dimensions of your mobility device.

🚪 Everyday Access
Think about whether you still need access to your trunk, hatch, or rear doors once the lift is installed.

The biggest takeaway?

Don’t choose a vehicle lift based on the lift alone.
Your vehicle, mobility device, and lift all need to work together as one system.

At AutoMobility Store, we can help you compare vehicle lift options and determine what makes sense for your setup.

🚐♿ JUST BECAUSE A WHEELCHAIR FITS THROUGH THE RAMP DOESN'T MEAN THE VAN IS THE RIGHT FIT!

Shopping for a wheelchair-accessible van? There's more to consider than simply getting your mobility device inside!

Before purchasing, here are 4 important things to check:

📏 1. DOOR & RAMP CLEARANCE
Will your wheelchair or power chair comfortably fit through the doorway and onto the ramp? Remember to consider the user's seated height, wheelchair width, and the ramp's weight capacity.

♿ 2. INTERIOR SPACE
Once inside, is there enough room to maneuver and position the wheelchair properly? Consider the chair's length, turning space, and where the wheelchair passenger will ride.

🔒 3. WHEELCHAIR SECUREMENT
Does the van have a compatible wheelchair securement system and appropriate occupant restraints? Properly securing both the mobility device and its occupant is essential for safe transportation.

👨‍👩‍👧 4. EVERYDAY CONVENIENCE
Think about who's going to operate the ramp and secure the wheelchair. Is a manual ramp practical, or would an automatic system make everyday transportation easier?

💡 HERE'S OUR ADVICE:
Whenever possible, bring your actual wheelchair or power chair when shopping for an accessible van.

There's no substitute for seeing how everything fits and works together!

At AutoMobility Store, we offer a wide selection of wheelchair-accessible vehicles, and our Mobility Specialists can help you compare different conversion styles and features.

🪑 NOT ALL LIFT CHAIRS ARE CREATED EQUAL!

A lift chair can make sitting down, relaxing, and standing back up more comfortable and convenient.

But here's something many shoppers don't realize...

Choosing the right lift chair involves more than picking your favorite color!
Here are 5 things to consider before buying:

📏 1. SEAT SIZE
A chair that's too big or too small can affect your comfort. Seat width, depth, and height all matter!

🛋️ 2. RECLINING POSITIONS
Some lift chairs offer basic reclining, while others provide multiple positioning options, including infinite-position reclining and zero-gravity-style positioning.

🦶 3. LEG SUPPORT
Consider how the footrest adjusts and whether it provides comfortable support for your legs.

🏠 4. ROOM SPACE
Make sure you have enough clearance for the chair to recline properly. Some models are designed to work closer to walls than others.

🔋 5. BATTERY BACKUP
Certain lift chairs offer battery backup systems that can help return the chair toward a seated position during a power outage.

💡 THE BOTTOM LINE?
The most expensive lift chair isn't necessarily the best one for YOU.
The right chair should fit your body, your home, and your everyday comfort needs.

At AutoMobility Store, we have a large selection of lift chairs you can see and try in our Austin showroom!

Our Mobility Specialists are here to help you find the perfect fit.

🛵 WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU GAVE YOUR MOBILITY SCOOTER A QUICK SAFETY CHECK?

You don’t have to wait until something stops working to give your scooter a little attention.

Every so often, take a few minutes and check:

🛞 Tires — Look for excessive wear, damage, or anything stuck in the tread.
🔋 Battery — Pay attention to changes in driving range or how quickly the battery gauge drops.
🛑 Brakes — Make sure the scooter stops properly when you release the throttle.
💺 Seat & Armrests — Check for looseness and make sure everything locks securely into position.
🔧 Tiller — Make sure it feels secure and adjusts and locks properly.
💡 Lights & Reflectors — If your scooter is equipped with them, make sure they’re clean and working.
🧺 Accessories — Check baskets, cup holders, oxygen holders, and other accessories for loose hardware.

A few minutes spent checking your scooter can help you spot a small issue before it becomes a bigger problem.

And if something doesn’t feel, sound, or operate the way it normally does, don’t ignore it.

🔋 HOW FAR DO YOU ACTUALLY NEED YOUR MOBILITY SCOOTER TO GO?

When shopping for a scooter, it’s easy to focus on one number:
Driving range.

But the scooter with the biggest advertised range isn’t automatically the best choice.

Published range is an estimate, and real-world performance can vary depending on things like:

⚖️ Rider weight
⛰️ Hills and inclines
🛞 Terrain and tire condition
🌡️ Temperature
🔋 Battery age and condition
🚦 Frequent stopping and starting
🧺 Added weight from accessories or cargo

Before choosing a scooter, think about your normal day.

Do you mainly use it around the house and neighborhood?
Are you spending hours shopping?
Traveling around a theme park?
Taking longer outdoor trips?

A good approach is to choose enough range for your typical outing with some extra capacity left over.

You don’t necessarily need the scooter with the biggest battery.
You need the scooter with the right battery and range for YOUR lifestyle.

At AutoMobility Store, our Mobility Specialists can help you compare scooter range, size, comfort, portability, and performance so you can find the right fit.

🛵♿ SCOOTER OR POWER CHAIR — WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

They can both help you stay mobile, but scooters and power chairs are designed very differently.

Before choosing, think about how and where you’ll actually use it.

🛵 MOBILITY SCOOTER

A scooter may be a good fit if you:

✅ Prefer handlebars and a tiller for steering
✅ Want something for shopping, outings, or outdoor use
✅ Can comfortably get on and off the seat
✅ Want travel or disassembly options on certain models

♿ POWER CHAIR

A power chair may be worth considering if you:

✅ Prefer joystick control
✅ Need tighter maneuverability indoors
✅ Spend longer periods of time in your mobility device
✅ Need additional seating, positioning, or support options

Neither one is automatically “better.”

The right choice depends on your comfort, mobility needs, transportation, home environment, and how you plan to use it every day.

That’s why trying both can make such a difference.

At AutoMobility Store, you can compare scooters and power chairs side by side and see which style feels right for YOU.
