1. 5 Tips to keep yourself safe and mobile this winter
The winter nights are drawing in and the temperature is getting colder. Here are some
top tips to help keep you safe this winter. http://carelectronics.origingadgets.com/
1 – Keep you mobility scooter battery charged up
over night
This may seem like an obvious first point but if you are not using your mobility
scooter regularly through the winter then the battery power will eventually drain. The
best way to prevent this from happening is to use a tricle charger. The leading
mobility scooter brands such as Pride Mobility have a tricle feature built into the
charger so you do not have to worry about leaving the mobility scooter on charge over
night and damaging the battery. http://electricbikes.origingadgets.com/
2 – Keep warm and wrap up if you decide to go out
The weather can soon take a toll for the worse during winter so we highly recommend
wrapping up warm even if it looks sunny outside. Mobility scooter users can keep
themselves out of the cold by using our mobility scooter accessories. The covers help
keep the wind and rain off your body so you can get back home safe and dry. The
mobility accessories are also a great Christmas present for a loved one.

3 – Keep a mobile phone with you all the time
Everybody has a mobile phone these days. Whether you use it on a daily basis or just
for emergencies it is a very handy communication device. Keep your mobile phone
charged whenever you are in the house and take it with you when you go out. There is
usually a battery icon on the screen so you will have a rough idea with the state of the
battery. http://electricwheelchairs.origingadgets.com/
We highly recommend you add your next of kin into your phone under the name of
ICE. ICE stands for Incase of Emergency and this is usually what the emergency
services will look for if you ever need them.
4 – Heating your home
To keep warm at home during the day:
* set your thermostat at around 21ºC (70ºF)
* heat all the rooms you use in the day http://foldingbike.origingadgets.com/

2. * if you can’t heat all your rooms, make sure you keep your living room warm
throughout the day and heat your bedroom before going to bed
* set the timer on your heating to come on before you get up and switch off when you
go to bed
* in very cold weather set the heating to come on earlier, rather than turn the
thermostat up, so you won’t be cold while you wait for your home to heat up
To keep warm at home during the night you should: http://mobilecity.origingadgets.com/
* try to keep a temperature of above 18°C (65°F) in your bedroom overnight
* if you use a fire or heater in your bedroom during winter, open the window or door
a little at night for ventilation
* never use an electric blanket or a hot water bottle together as you could electrocute
yourself
* if you have an electric blanket, check what type it is – some are designed only to
warm the bed before you get in and should not to be used throughout the night
* make sure your electric blanket is safe to use by getting it tested every three years
(the Fire Brigade, Trading Standards and Age Concern can test your electric blanket
for safety) http://motorcycleatv.origingadgets.com/

5 – Save money by purchasing online
Buying your mobility aids or general day to day shopping online can be much more
cost effective than travelling to the local shops or town centre. If you are able to wait
for the product to be delivered then you can usually save upto 30% on normal product
retail prices. All of our web prices at Mobility Experts are competitively priced
because we know how important it is to save your money for heating and other
essential needs. Not only that you will minimise the risk of falling or suffering from
the severe weather outside
