Question : Will Medicare pay for a car lift for a power chair?
My mom has a power chair (not a scooter) and is spending more and more time in it to get around. She wants to get out of the house occasionally, like to go to the store, church or even the doctor's office, and is no longer able to manage with a walker or a cane. We need to get a lift platform (I don't know what it's really called) that attaches to the back of a car on a hitch and allows you to roll the power chair onto it so you can take it with you. I've seen them online for $1000+, and since she's on disability and Medicare, that's definitely beyond our means. Will Medicare cover this like they did the chair itself?
Answer:
Your mom is lucky to have your help!You don't say exactly where you live or how old your mom is, however you do say that she is getting Medicare, so I will assume that she is over age 60 and that you live in the United States or one of the U.S. Territories. If this is so, and you want to discuss this question with "real people" who are familiar with Medicare rules and know other possible resources for your mom and you as a caregiver, I would highly recommend that you call the Area Agency on Aging serving the community where you live. Professionals at the Area Agency on Aging provide guidance in helping seniors and their caregivers. Believe me, questions like this pop up and affect seniors' lives every day -- Area Agency on Aging staff will know the best way to cut through the red tape to help you find out possible ways to get help that you are needing. I am confident that you will find the Area Agency staff friendly and helpful. They will help answer Medicare-related questions in an easy-to-understand way and they will likely know options that might help with your mom's mobility challenges. If you live in the United States or one of the territories, there is an Area Agency on Aging serving where you live. You can call toll-free 1-800-677-1116 to find how to contact the one serving you. When you make the call to your local Area Agency on Aging ask for the staff in "Information and Assistance" or the staff that helps "Family Caregivers."Another thing to know about Area Agencies on Aging is that most of them have information and resources that help and support family caregivers, so you might want to ask about this when you make your call.If you do contact your local Area Agency on Aging and like the help that they give you, let your local county officials and your folks in Congress know. Area Agencies on Aging are funded under the Older Americans Act and they don't have big budgets! Your contribution to help provide important information and assistance services other caregivers and to your older friends and neighbors would be appreciated--but is absolutely not required-- to get the help you need .Hope this helps! Best wishes to you and to your mom!

Question : Grinding sound from electric scooter?
When ever I switch my electric motor scooter on, get on it, and turn the accelerator, there's a loud, grinding sound (sounds like metal grinding) while the wheel is spinning. However, when I lift the scooter off the ground, and then turn the accelerator, the grinding sound lasts for about a second then the wheel continues to spin regularly, with no sound. What's the problem? How can I fix it? Cost?
Answer:
Bearing. You can't. Unknown.

Question : My electric wheelchair won't fit thru the doors at WalMart and they can't transfer me to a scooter- What to do?
Due to my weight, and girth, they can't lift me onto one of those scooters either and my wheelchair is too wide to fit through the doors. How can I go back to shopping at Wal-Mart?
Answer:
The answer is obvious, but I don't want to embarrass you or sound cruel.

Question : Scooter or Skateboard?
Well I know its winter...but whenever I start deciding this kind of stuff in the summer when I am done deciding its the winter...so I think if I start thinking now...when it hits the spring / summer I will be ready to decide what to buy.I don't want to do like flips or major tricks...maybe just some jumps on a scooter, ollies etc.My neighbourhood has sidewalks and when I had a skateboard I couldn't stand riding on the sidewalk because of the bumps it had. I want something that has a good support for transportation, and good exercise. I own a bike and whenever my friends walk..i have to circle them because the bike just goes way to fast, I think a scooter or a skateboard will fit more with walkers. I wanna be able to do some tricks , impress some friends =)I am over weight and the old skate board I got was around 15-20 dollars that I got for free...and the trucks broke when I did a ollie, so I was wondering would my weight have had that effect on it, or was it the cheap material? I am willing to spend around 100 dollars including tax. I saw a sick skateboard at west 49 for 80 but once again..winter hit and I dind't want to ride in my basement so yeh...I waited till next year and couldn't decide again.The scooter to me sounds really good because its 2 wheels (sense of balance) also, it has bars so its more control able. If any of you know how to say this type of skateboard/ if there even is a type...I want one where if you lean to once side it will turn, like a scooter. I've seen people with them, but I never ask...I has a 15 dollar one that only went strait and the wheels sucks so 80% of the time I was pushing/ pedling and when I had to turn, I had to lift the front and do like a .5 second manual and turn my board...I saw this guy who just leaned to the right/left and turned really easily, like a bike or a scooter. If the trick is to like loosen the trucks or something or get shocks...tell me please!!!I want it to last long, does a skateboard or a scooter last longer? I am probably buying this for more of exercise rather than fun...my treadmll is quite boring so I need a new type of exercise...not jogging because I have a knee injury and asthma I think a scooter or a skateboard wont take as much of my lungs since I can rest while its rolling with out my need to keep on using my lungs. Would a bike be the best bet?Well I think it is...except the price. I bought a 99 dollar bike, my parents don't really support me and I live off my own money, meaning I need something good, cheap & efficient my 99 dollar bike didn't have shocks so when I did a jump, all of the down force was absorbed by me, or the bike itself, and I think it will break soon if I keep on doing that. I heard scooters have shocks (some) and I've seen scooters as little as 40 dollars for a pretty good quality one. Skateboards the same..80 dollars and I could have bought a really sick one.Care.Do I need to take apart the skateboard regularly and wash it...same for scooter...My bike did need washing / care, I had to oil chains, wash, etc.I don't want to spend much time on this because I need to study, and exercise not wash. (sorry...i just cant devote 30 minutes day to this...) I heard of like super fast wheels for skateboards & scooters...I want to know where to get these =T I want to go really fast downhill/ uphill...my neighborhood has a big slant...and to get to my friends house...there is probably a 15 degree slant on the road towars him...I think its 15 degrees...its not that much...but still the wind + the slant makes it hard for me to bike at high speed...when I go back home...I don't have to pedel most of the time and I just roll back to my house...I want something that will let me get up to my friends house without much hassle...Gear.What gear is really necessary...I know a helmet for sure, but are wrist gaurds, nee pad and elbow pads really necessary? I bike with nothing on...YES I HAVE CLOTHS...i meant like gear for the bike...i've seen many people skateboard etc. without it...but I am probably going to wear a helmet for skateboarding , what do I need for scootering?

Question : how do i lift seat on honda 125 scooter need to add petrol!?
how do i lift seat on honda 125 scooter need to add petrol!?
Answer:
Depends on scooter, many Hondas have the seat lock in the tail piece near the rear light, you need to locate this & use the ignition key to open the seat lock at the same time as lifting the seat.If the lock isn't in the tail section it will probably be on the side of the machine nearest to the kerb.

Question : How to change a battery on a ride on fun scooter?
The battery in the underneath side of the scooter and we have taken the screws out of the foot rest area, but this will not lift anything for us to get at the battery. There are two batteries that go side by side underneath this scooter.
Answer:
Maybe you could contact the store where it was purchased and see if they don't have a manual - or go to the store where it was purchased and if there's another one just like the one you have ask the Manager of the store if he'd zerox the instructions for you. It's worth a try.
