Important Scooter Safety Warning
If you use or own a Mobility Scooter manufactured by Days Healthcare, then you might be at risk for serious scooter failure. Specifically effected models are the Strider Maxi 3, Strider Maxi 4, and the Strider Midi 4 Plus mobility scooter.
These scooters produced by Days Healthcare, were found to have a very dangerous flaw in their battery design. This was first noticed in late 2006, and at that time 2 scooters had already spontaneously combusted. At the root of the problem was poor wiring and faulty battery terminals. Due to poor construction and cheap components, these scooters manufactured by Days Healthcare could be very dangerous. One rider, Neil Jordan, was thankfully alerted by a fellow shopper that the back of his scooter was aflame. Neil was able to dismount just before the entire scooter burst into flames.
This illustrates the importance of using a quality scooter that is manufactured by a reputable and reliable company. If you purchase a scooter made by Golden Technologies or Pride Mobility, you will be assured that no corners were cut and that they have been extensively tested before distribution.
If you are an owner of a Day Healthcare Mobility scooter, then you should visit the below sites to ensure that you are not using one of the effected models. This primarily effected models built in 2004 – 2006 and so many models were affected. Below are some useful links about these scooters.
