..... Cold & Wet - keep warm ....... 'The Secret' .......
Keeping warm this time of the year it is very important especially for all of us who need to use Mobility Scooters. There will be some great days of blue sky sunshine, great for making video's. However this time of the year a good sunny day does not mean its warm, its more likely to be very cold. The right clothes is essential and there is a big secret to staying warm. ... Marino wool.

It's mid October 2024 and the weather can be described as changeable, and very cold. At this time of year sunshine does not necessarily mean its warm enough for a ride in the wild, in fact it's to flippin cold. I did get caught out earlier this morning by thinking I would be OK but the cold really got to me and I had to return home for more layers (thermal long Johns). But the day proved to be ...

I have to say that the Magnificent Monsal trail is well worth a good day out, Hiking, Cycling, Running, or mobility scootering. This is a traffic free, firm trail around 9/10 miles in its full length. That's not the whole story though, there are a number of incredible tunnels that have lighting and well laid tarmac surfaces throughout the full length of each tunnel, and the superb views of the ...

Not all adventures by Wood-E and I go smoothly and without the odd annoyance. On this occasion this is us exploring a new area of Cannock Chase forest that proves just a bit difficult, and an area we are denied access and will not be returning to. Sadly nothing much can be done about the gates, maybe the replacement of the locks with RADAR locks, but the drivers who park cars badly??

On this part the of the Cannock Chase ride I was so fortunate to come across horses and riders out for a Chase riding experience, and it looks great.

The trail here is one of the best and if you ever get chance to bring your class 3 for a ride over the Chase then this is possibly the best trail to find.

    Sounds like you're all set for our chilly UK winter 👍. Prior to using a mobility scooter, I've always been used to being outdoors in all weathers walking my dog, so have used all sorts of walking gear. However, when you're walking you generate heat, but sat on a mobility scooter it's as you say, we have to retain heat. I have various base layers, thermal lined trousers, lined waterproof trousers (by the way denim jeans are not ideal trousers to wear because they are usually 100% cotton ) down filled jackets, waterproof and windproof thermal lined jackets, decent length wool hiking socks etc. For this winter I've purchased a heated car seat cushion that runs off the 12V socket on my scooter, so a heated seat and heated seat back......obviously drains battery power, so closely monitoring battery level is essential .....I'll use this on the more extremely cold days. I also have a usb heated cushion (seat cushion only) that will run off a small power bank that I have. The power bank is the same size as my smartphone, so it will fit in my coat pocket. The power bank is 20,000 mah, and will operate the heated cushion for quite a few hours. I tend not to go out on my scooter in extremely wet weather.

      Good one DM, and a good question. Most scooters have 2 or 4 batteries that are usually connected together to supply a 24v or 48v motor. Wood-E is quite different and has 3 motors and four independent 48v batteries. Regards Joe.
