Scooters and Lifts News
Merry Christmas &
Happy New
Year
Big
thank you to all our customers (friends) and
our providers, wishing you and your family a
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from us
at Las Vegas Scooters & Lifts!
We're Driving forward into
the New year 2016 was a great starting year for us
and we got to meet some amazing and friendly
people in both customers and suppliers.
After signing up as Pride
Mobility dealer in early 2016 we quickly
established our business and found more and
more resources and suppliers such as
Stander, Golden Technologies and our great
local battery supplier. All in all we
believe that the more choice we have would
be a benefit to our customers.
We now see another big
name supplier of the DME and heath care
market come to Las Vegas Scooters & Lifts
door. We are proud to say that we are
now authorized providers of Drive mobility
products. This now gives us the opportunity
to provide warranty and non warranty repair,
parts and service for all Drive mobility
products.
We work extremely hard to give our customer
the products and service they deserve and a
price that's affordable and trustworthy, and
our feedback from our customers shows that.
A big thank you to all our customers that
have supported us in 2016 and we hope to
carry on our great service for many years to
come.

Room!
As
a small family owned business we want to
give our customers a great
selection of new,
reconditioned and rental options that we
have available, and we found ourselves
running out of space to better showcase our
products.
We are fortunate enough to
have been given the opportunity to increase
our showroom floor space. We realize that
buying a mobility scooter,
vehicle lift or lift chair is a big decision
for our customers. Nothing helps a customer
to make the right choice than to actually
see and try the product out.
We have a great selection
of mobility scooters plus some exciting new
products:
Infinity Lift
Chair
Infinity series LC521 lift chair
features full infinity recline

recline including reading, napping
and full sleep recline while still
giving the user the ease of getting
out the chair.

is perfect for taking a nap -
whether quick or extended - or even
for a full night's sleep.

be reached.

Great Day
at the Expo!
Well we're not going to say
it wasn't hard work but it was very much
worth it! We didn't know about the AgeWell
Expo until a week before but we pulled it
off in less than a week to prepare. We had
fantastic help from our print company
Print Fast and Sign Experts to rush
through some material and a banner in record
time - thanks Sacbe and Hamlet for a great
job well done.
As for the Expo it was a good
turn out for our first appearance. We took
along a great selection of mobility scooters
and products to demonstrate to the public
and got to meet some new faces and got some
great feedback.
Pride Mobility's Folding
Scooter was a big hit (we are officially the
experts in folding and unfolding this
scooter!).
All in all a great day for
Las Vegas Scooters and Lifts. Thanks to
everyone who came and stopped to say hello
and ask about our business,
Ian and Jenny Evans

All
new Golden BuzzAround EX Extreme
Go Chair!!
Color shown in Ruby Red
Pride Mobility release their
all new redesigned Go-Chair.
We saw this in March 2016 at the MedTrade
show and liked the new improvements pride
had made. The Go-Chair which is now
available to buy has some great new features
like feather touch release system allowing
the unit to disassemble in to five easy
manageable pieces like with the travel
scooter range. This gives the new Go-Chair
more flexibility to take your power chair
with you without the worry of lifting
heavier pieces. Other invocative added
features are the swing away storage trays
located beneath the seat, Pride logo
stitched on the back rest of the seat and
now available in six fantastic colors:
Citrine Yellow
Amber Orange
Pearl White
Rose Quartz
Ruby Red
Sapphire Blue
See our
online store for more information and
pricing of the new Pride Go-Chair
Important
Information
PLEASE NOTE:
A local and national online store has
advertised that some of their cheaper
batteries will fit mobility scooters which
are CCA (Cold Crank AMP) sealed lead acid
batteries. These batteries are design for
for motorcycles, watercraft, ATV's, and
other motor driven applications. These
batteries are deigned to deliver high output
for 30 seconds
for starting purposes and not long sustained
amps over a long period. We have recently
had a power chair unit in for repair where
the owner used CCA batteries resulting in
irreparable damage to the power chair
controller unit. (replacement part $499)
Using these batteries is not advised for
mobility scooters and power chairs and will
invalidate any warranty. Also using our
general-purpose SLA batteries in Power sports applications is not advised as general purpose SLA batteries are not designed for such use and more likely to fail at starting your vehicle and to have a much shorter life.
More to lifts than you think
June 12 2016
What ever
lift you require we can advise you in what's
right for your needs and vehicle. Weight,
size and compatibility are just a few of the
things you need to consider when purchasing
a vehicle lift but also you need to consider
who is going to use the lift and what needs
they have.
Could you be able to secure your scooter to
the lift?
If you have difficulty bending over? have a
balance problem or have difficulty standing
for a length of time? Then some lifts would not
suit you unless you have help.
There are quite a few pre-owned scooter and
wheelchair lifts on the market but it can be
an expensive mistake to choose a lift that
is not compatible with your vehicle. Before
buying a lift check the
lifting capacity of the lift. Try and find out what the overall
weight of the lift is, and also if it has an
added swing-away arm fitted which also will increase the overall weight. Next
add the weight of the scooter to
the weight of the lift. Some but not all rear mounted lifts are very heavy
and require a substantial vehicle to carry
them. Some also only come with a 2" class II
or class III receiver bar due to their weight
and carrying capacity.
Putting a large rear hitch
mounted platform lift to carry a mid sized
scooter to a sedan could require modification
to the vehicles suspension. Also factor in
if you don't have a hitch receiver already
on your vehicle add at least $200
- $300 for the receiver and installation.
Don't forget this is not
including the wiring and adjustments require
to fit the lift. After all that, then to
find out you four door sedan will require
suspension modification that bargain
lift online where the sellers advert say's
"it fits any vehicle" becomes a expensive
mistake. Get it right talk to us first we
can give you free advice and install your
lift for you. You can also check out
Pride's Lift Finder to give you a good
idea to see what your
vehicle can handle.
On a final note regarding used power lifts,
DO NOT take the word of the seller that the
lifts works!! Always, always see it working
with your scooter on it. Make sure it can
lift the weight of your scooter with ease.
If the lift slows down while the vehicle is
running the lift might not be rated for that
amount of weight or even more seriously the
motor might be coming to the end of its life
due to worn bushes and or failing motor
windings. Check for week and broken welds
also loose or bent bolt connections. Listen
for and banging or clanking while the lift
travels up and down with weight on it.
If in doubt call us out!!
Roll on, Roll off!
This lift
was perfect for this lady who had balance
issues but wanted to be independent.
This fully automatic powered platform lift
features automatic hold down feature where
she could just drive on, operate the lift
and go no need for straps or hold down
attachments.

Medtrade 2016
Yet
another successful Medtrade 2016 for Las Vegas
Scooters & Lifts
- it has seen us make fantastic achievements
in the mobility business. After signing up
with two suppliers, Pride Mobility and
Stander we are proud to announce we are full
Pride Mobility dealers giving us the support
and ability to provide new mobility scooter
sales for the Las Vegas area.
We also got
some fantastic insights and ideas in the
medical and mobility world with some new
innovative ideas and developments which give
more freedom for people in need of mobility
assistance.
Along with
signing up as Pride Mobility scooter
providers we also teamed up with Stander
inventive suppliers of home care safety and Mobility products.
We
were so impressed with their products and the
difference that it can make to people with
mobility issues we decided that we wanted to
have some of their great products in our
business. What
also impressed us was their no-pressure sales
technique and before and after sales support,
which gives us, the retailer, a greater
flexibility with their products.
Come take a
look at
their products in our new showroom
All in all we
had a great day and it was good to see
Rachel and J J from Pride who has helped us
immensely with pushing our business forward.
