Cruise Ship Travel
Ahoy TravelScoot! The TravelScoot is the number one choice for travelers venturing out to sea. With its compact size and
maneuverability, the TravelScoot seems custom-built for cruising.
In Your Cabin
Let's face it, cruising is a fantastic way to see the world, but the cabins can be a little on the small side. For safety reasons, cruise
lines prohibit you from leaving your mobility scooter outside your room in the hall. You must store it inside your cabin. With other
scooters, this can be a real nuisance as you try to maneuver around an already small space. With the TravelScoot, however, you
can fold it up and store it in a closet, in a corner of your cabin, or park it right under the desk in your room.
On the Ship
Most cruise ships nowadays seem to be the size of a small city! Exploring the ship can be adventurous but tiring. Quite often
there are many different levels on these ships which can pose a problem for someone with difficulties getting around. The
TravelScoot makes small work of these vast ships. Whether you are scooting to the pool, on the Lido deck, or to the Fiesta deck
for an evening of fine dining at a formal dinner, the TravelScoot will take you wherever you want to go.
On-Shore Excursions
Exploring the many different ports and excursions a cruise ship has to offer is a wonderful way to travel the world. In some ports,
cruise ships have to anchor offshore and tender the passengers to shore. Most cruise lines won't allow mobility devices over 50
lbs./22.7kg on these tenders. But at a mere 34 lbs./15.87kg, the TravelScoot is no problem.
Maintenance
Due to the innovative design of the TravelScoot, it is nearly maintenance free. A small tool kit is included with the scooter which
can be used to tighten the bolts of your scooter. It is recommended that you follow the steps below every six months (or as needed)
to ensure that your scooter performs flawlessly for years to come.
Cleaning Tips
Keeping your TravelScoot clean and dry is important. Remove dust and dirt from the frame components with a mild dish soap
solution or water-resistant silicone spray (preferred). Do not use abrasive or alkaline cleaners as these will attack the finish.
Using a microfiber cloth, wipe any accumulated moisture from the frame and components after riding in damp conditions. These
simple measures will help maintain the reliability and safety of your TravelScoot. For more on cleaning and maintaining the
TravelScoot, check out our videos on YouTube.
Brakes
The brakes can be adjusted at three different locations:
•
At the hand brake lever
•
Cable conduit (front of rear-wheel fork)
•
At the band brake itself (8mm wrench required).
