Individuals who are chronically sick or disabled and whose products are for personal use, along with charities where the products are made available to a disabled person for their own personal or domestic use, may be eligible for VAT exemption.

To qualify for VAT exemption you must ensure that you qualify the VAT Exempt criteria state the precise medical condition, and meet the criteria at the time you place your order. Assuming you meet this criteria, VAT will not be added unless a particular product has compulsory VAT. Orders which are received without ticked exemption will incur the VAT charge, which will be highlighted clearly to you through our shopping calculator. Should you have any queries please contact us on 07787533333.

Completed VAT Exemption Declarations by customers are accepted as prima facie evidence by the Company that a valid medical condition exists for exemption under The VAT Act, and no VAT will be charged on the goods purchased with VAT exemption

Batteries and chargers have a 12 month manufacturer’s guarantee.If a product does not function properly on arrival, please POWAGLIDE LTD immediately for guidance.
Chargers: If you experience a problem with your charger it will be necessary to inspect it before considering a replacement and if it is found to be faulty, we will arrange a replacement.
Batteries: If you detect a problem regarding the loss of performance of your BUGGY, in the first instance it will be necessary for you to have the batteries ‘drop load tested’. This can be carried out by a mobility shop, a garage, or Halfords. A copy of the ‘drop test’ will need to be either emailed or posted to Powaglide ltd  and, if the batteries are found to be faulty, we will replace them under warranty. Please be advised that Powaglide ltd cannot take responsibility for the day to day maintenance of customers’ BUGGY and it is recommended are serviced once a year.
In addition, parts which are subjected to normal wear and tear, accidental damage, neglect or misuse are excluded from the manufacturer’s warranty. Normal wear and tear includes tyres, chassis covers, mudguards, plastic bodykit and seat coverings. Guarantees are non-transferrable.
Failure to maintain the brushes in the motor could void the buggy warranty. These should be inspected every 12 months or sooner if your buggy is not operating smoothly. Any inspection or maintenance should be carried out by an engineer.
Controllers should be kept clean and protected from water and rain.


Powaglide ltd  is unable to accept responsibility in the following cases:-
o    If a Buggy, is not maintained as per the manufacturer’s guidelines laid out in the user manual.
o    Failure to use the manufacturer’s parts.
o    If any alterations or amendments have been carried out on the product.

o    Damage to any plastic parts


To ensure that batteries are kept in best condition please read our guide below:-
When you first install your new battery, place it on charge for at least 24 hours. If your vehicle is to be stored for any length of time, firstly charge fully, then disconnect the battery.
Battery charging technology has changed considerably over recent years. Our batteries  now offer more power for their size and provide longer performance. Try wherever possible to fully use your battery before charging and then fully charge before re-use. Always use the correct charging system for the batteries. Never use car chargers on gel batteries. Never completely discharge your battery.
Warning! Batteries can be hazardous. All batteries - wet, sealed and gel units, contain lead and sulphuric acid, both are highly toxic and sulphuric acid is highly corrosive.

Battery Charging
Here are some simple rules for proper battery charging:- LITHIUM ONLY
o    Use the manufacturer's automatic charger for all routine charging. Leave the automatic charger turned on until the green light comes on then take off charge, recharge after every use. USE ONLY CHARGER SUPPLIED  (the one supplied with your product).
o    Never run batteries completely flat.
o    Fully charge after each use.
We stock a range of  battery chargers suitable  from 5amp/hour upwards to 10amp/hour. All of these chargers are fitted with the industry standard round 3 pin plug unless requested otherwise.


Battery Life
o    Your battery will wear out with age or frequency of use. As the battery gets older your buggy will travel more slowly or for shorter distances.
o    If you use your buggy very regularly then the battery will obviously wear out faster.


Distance
o    The distance you can expect from fully charged batteries will be greatly influenced by weight and terrain.

How Often Should You Charge?
o    Daily users - charge daily after use. Your buggy will then be ready each morning to give you a full day’s service.
o    If you use your buggy infrequently (once a week or less), charge the batteries once a week for 3-4 HOURS
o    Batteries should be fully charged after each use.
o    Remember to always remove the key from your scooter so it is not accidently left activated.


Battery Storage
o    Store batteries fully charged. Check once a month and recharge as needed. Wet batteries can hold their charge for up to three months. Remember, if storing your buggy  for longer than a few weeks, it's best to charge the batteries and then disconnect them.

Undercharging
A battery operated with insufficient charge over a long period of time may develop sulphate on the plates. This sulphate is dense and hard, and cannot be readily converted to normal active material again. In this condition the battery is unable to deliver its full power.
