How to Repair a Mobility Scooter

Sadly, sometimes there are common repairs that are needed to be made in order to keep your scooter operating. We`ve put together a list of five common repairs your scooter might need. Read along so that you can be better prepared for when your scooter needs to be serviced.

Armrest

Armrests were created to be durable and reliant, but sadly they receive too much daily use to be everlasting. They often need to be repaired, and sometimes replaced, if the scraps and scuffs get to be too large. When the damage is substantial, you can order new armrests for your specific scooter online, or contact us and we can assist you with an affordable repair or replacement.

Joystick

If you`re an active user of your mobility scooter, its joystick or controllers are not always in the best condition. The controls are considered the brains of the scooter electronic system. It often happens where the joystick needs repair due to its connection. To keep the joystick properly working and in good condition, be patient with it. If it needs a replacement, feel free to connect with us.

Batteries

Big problem: if your scooter`s battery doesn`t work, nothing else will work properly either. Keep this in mind as your battery is valuable for proper functioning. Ensure a long battery life for your mobility scooter by keeping it charged when not in use. This can extend its life as it is always fully charged. If there are other battery issues, we can check your mobility scooter a look, and repair it if need be.

Motors

Similar to your mobility scooters batteries, the motor is also extremely important for proper functioning. These motors are generally built to last a very long time, however, there can come a time when it no longer works. A way to tell if your motor reaches a point where it needs to be repaired is if it starts to lag or becomes slower, even at full speed. Mobility scooter repair services, especially for motors, are available from us whenever you need them.

Tires

The tires on your mobility scooter get you from point A to point B. This means they`re a valuable asset to your scooter. Usually, mobility scooter tires are filled with air, foam, or heavy-duty foam. If your scooter tires require a replacement, adjustment, or assistance, let us know. We can provide you with services to get your tires back up and running again.

We understand that you are dependant on your mobility scooter. We want you to be familiar with these five pieces that could need potential repairs as the years go on with your scooter. Although we can help with any repair, replacement, or maintenance, we still want our mobility scooters users to have a solid understanding of their vehicle. Feel free to reach out to us for concerns about your scooter. We are here to help!

Alex Vander Poel

Co-Owner & Executive Director of Operations

Marc’s Mobility was created by my father, Marc, in 1995 when I was 7 years old. I grew up around this industry from an early age — cleaning, driving, and repairing units alongside Marc. After graduating high school in 2006, I moved to Gainesville, FL to pursue a Business degree at the University of Florida. Once I graduated, I returned to Lakeland, FL to help my father grow the business into what it is today.

I’ve now been full-time in this industry for nearly 16 years as of 2026. When I first joined after college, the company was a small 3-person operation. In the beginning, my main responsibilities included inspecting, repairing, and preparing units for shipping across the U.S. Today, as the company has grown into a team of more than 10 people, I oversee all aspects of the business and work to understand every role within Marc’s Mobility.
