5 accessories for your knee scooter

Knee scooters are a great way to keep active while recovering from a leg or foot injury. But you may still find yourself frustrated by not being fully mobile. Fortunately, there are many accessories you can buy for your scooter which will help you carry out your day-to-day activities -- and place your individual stamp on your scooter.

1. Basket

This is a must-have for any scooter. Baskets are available which clip on and off to the scooter, usually to the front, and means you will not have to struggle to use your scooter with one hand while you carry a bag with the other. The basket can be used to carry your personal belongings, such as your purse or a raincoat, or to carry the groceries when you go shopping.

2. Lights

Just as with a bicycle, you can buy lights that clip on to your handlebars, for the front and rear. This will make it safer for walking around your house in poor light, and will also mean you can see your way at night -- as well as allowing other people and traffic to see you.

3. Cup holder

Another device that fits to the framework of your scooter, a cup holder can be used to carry a water bottle around with you and ensure that you stay hydrated.

4. Smartphone holder

You really want to keep your hands free to steer your walker, so a bracket to hold your smartphone is a great idea. Not only can you keep in touch with family and friends while on the move, but you can use your GPS app to make sure you know where you are going.

5. Ornaments

If you thought furry dice were just for your car, think again. There are a whole host of fun add-ons available for your knee scooters, from miniature aeroplanes and picnic baskets to streamers and car horns. And if nothing takes your fancy, a little imagination and ingenuity should allow you to fix virtually any object of your choice to your scooter. Anything that allows you to add the personal touch will make you feel more confident.

The purpose of a knee scooter is to allow you to get out and about, and lead as near to a normal life as possible as you recover. By using a few of the many accessories available, you will vastly increase the convenience and usefulness of your scooter.
