Scooter parts can usually be found at a scooter store that will typically specialize in a specific type of scooter. A scooter store could either specialize in a variety of recreational scooters, while another store will specialize in the mobility scooters. Retailers also offer scooter accessories to enhance the experience as well as replacement scooter parts and service.

Mobility scooters have their own distinctive market niche with services to accommodate the specific needs of the market. Although mobility scooters can be quite expensive, many insurance companies will pay for the vehicle, since it is considered a medical device. Retailers also offer scooter accessories such as baskets to aid in the operator's ability to shop or carry other items. Since mobility scooters are a high-end item, they typically are covered by repair plans that have the scooter parts replaced by a professional repair service.

Scooter parts can be purchased directly from the manufacturer by calling their 800 number or by ordering online. Prior to placing the order, it is best to have all information regarding the make, the model and the part number to insure that the correct part has been requested. Because of the low pricing on many models, it may be best to consider if value of the scooter part is worth the cost to replace, or if it would be better to purchase a new scooter of comparable value.
