Your mobility scooter’s tyres can have a bigger impact on your ride than you might realise.
If your scooter has pneumatic (air-filled) tyres, keeping them at the correct pressure can help with:
✔️ Ride comfort
✔️ Steering and handling
✔️ Tyre life
✔️ Battery range and efficiency
There are two common types of scooter tyres:
🔵 Pneumatic (air-filled) — generally provide a smoother ride, but need regular pressure checks and can puncture.
⚫ Solid / puncture-proof — no air pressure to maintain and less risk of punctures, but they can provide a firmer ride.
Our tip: If you have pneumatic tyres, check the pressure regularly - at least monthly is a good habit.
⚠️ Don’t guess the pressure. The correct PSI depends on your scooter and tyres, so always check the manufacturer’s manual or the tyre markings for the recommended pressure.
And don’t rely on how the tyre looks or feels. A tyre can be under-inflated without it being obvious.
Not sure what type of tyres you have or what pressure they should be?
