Can I use my mobility Scooter in the snow?
Yes, you can use an electric scooter in the snow if it's well-maintained and the conditions are safe, but there are some things to consider:
Water resistance
Most scooters are water-resistant, but not waterproof, so avoid prolonged exposure to snow.
Battery
Cold temperatures can reduce your scooter's battery range. The ideal temperature for operating an electric scooter is 59–95°F (15–35°C).
Tires
Larger, more rugged tires can provide better traction on slippery surfaces. Winter tires are made of pliable rubber that stays soft in freezing weather.

Safety gearWear windproof outerwear, waterproof footwear, cycling glasses or skiing goggles, a helmet, and gloves.
Riding style
Avoid abrupt movements and sudden changes in direction. Brake early and anticipate your braking distance on wet roads.
Weather conditions
Stay off the roads if you can't see the road beneath you. Many manufacturers advise against riding in heavy snow, heavy rain, hail, ice, or sleet.
