The padded seat and mesh back will align with your spine which will lead extended use comfort. Unfortunately the seat height does not adjust or swivel.
Maintenance
Lithium batteries should be charged semi-frequently to keep them in properly working order. We do suggest you charge your lithium batteries every few weeks. If you let your lithium batteries sit for too long you may see a a decrease in the battery life over time. Golden Technologies recommends is gentle cleaning of the device and look closer for wear and tear as outlined by the manual. You should always store your mobility scooter indoors and away from inclement weather. This will prevent damages that could void your warranty.
