Did you know regular servicing can add years to your mobility equipment?

Mobility scooters, powerchairs and hoists are essential for daily independence. Like any mechanical and electrical equipment, they experience wear and tear, and without regular servicing - small issues can quickly turn into costly repairs.

We recommend a full service at least once a year, with more frequent checks for high-use equipment.

Here’s what regular servicing protects:

🔋 Battery & Charging Systems

Battery voltage is checked, connections are tightened, and charging systems are tested to prevent reduced range, deep discharge damage and unexpected breakdowns.

⚙️ Motors, Gearboxes & Actuators

Motors, gearboxes, brakes, actuators and steering components are inspected, tested and adjusted. Catching early signs of wear can prevent major component failure and costly repairs.

🔌 Electrical & Safety Systems

Controllers, wiring and safety cut-offs are tested to ensure everything is functioning reliably. Early detection of electrical faults protects expensive components and improves overall safety.

🧰 Wheels, Tyres & Alignment

Tyres are checked for tread and correct inflation, castors and axles are cleaned, and we ensure the chair runs straight without veering - reducing strain on motors, improving battery efficiency and ensuring stable operation.

🪑 Frame & Seating Components

We inspect the frame for rust or damage, check armrests, leg rests, footplates, anti-tip mechanisms, seatbelts and supports to ensure everything is secure and safe.

Regular servicing helps to:

✔ Extend equipment lifespan
✔ Prevent unexpected breakdowns
✔ Reduce long-term repair costs
✔ Maintain safety and compliance
✔ Keep your equipment running smoothly and comfortably

Christchurch is one of New Zealand’s most accessible cities, with flat, wide footpaths, accessible public transport, and venues designed to support wheelchair users and people with mobility aids.

At Mobility Services, we’re always looking to recommend inclusive, easy-to-access places for older adults and people living with disabilities. Here are some of our top Christchurch picks:

🌿 Outdoor Spaces

• Sumner Beach Promenade - A flat, paved seaside pathway perfect for a relaxed stroll. Enjoy fresh sea air, ocean views, and the convenience of nearby cafés for a coffee break.

• Christchurch Botanic Gardens - Wide, level paths surrounded by vibrant seasonal blooms, mature trees, and tranquil river views. Plenty of seating makes it easy to pause and soak in the beauty.

• Travis Wetland Walk - A gentle boardwalk loop through peaceful wetland scenery. Ideal for birdwatching and enjoying a quiet escape into nature.

🏛️ Attractions

• Canterbury Museum - Spacious galleries with lift access and level flooring. The engaging exhibits appeal to all age groups.

• Christchurch Gondola - The base station is fully wheelchair accessible, and cabins can accommodate narrower wheelchairs. At the summit, elevator access leads to the café and viewing platforms, where you can enjoy spectacular panoramic views of Christchurch.

• International Antarctic Centre - A unique and educational experience featuring Antarctic storm simulations, a 4D theatre, and penguin encounters. The centre is very accommodating, with ramps, lifts, accessible toilets, parking, and wide internal pathways.

☕ Cafés

• Akin Café - A spacious and popular brunch spot with level entry and room for mobility devices.

• Black Betty Café - Known for its welcoming atmosphere and accommodating layout.

• Addington Coffee Co-op - A local favourite just outside the CBD, offering an accessible and relaxed environment.

You will have heard the phrase "Drop, Cover and Hold" at some point, but there are alternative ways to stay safe for those who can't easily drop to the floor:

🛌If you’re in bed or a recliner: Stay, Cover, Hold – stay in bed, pull the blankets over you, and protect your head and neck with a pillow.
🩼 If you’re using a cane: Drop, Cover, Hold, or sit on a chair/bed, cover your head and neck with both hands, keep your cane nearby to use when the shaking stops.
🧑‍🦽‍➡️ If you’re using a walker or wheelchair: Lock, Cover, Hold – lock your wheels (if applicable), carefully get as low as possible, cover your head and neck, and hold on until the shaking stops.
🪑 If you’re sitting in a chair: Stay, Cover, Hold – bend over, cover your head and neck as best as you can, and hold on until the shaking stops.
🐕‍🦺 If you have a disability assist dog, try to get them under cover with you, or keep them close beside you.
