This master bath remodel is a major lifestyle enhancement for a disabled client. The newly constructed shower was created with numerous Universal Design and Aging in Place features for all three people who use the shower, the client, her husband and the caregiver. Small slip-resistant tiles were selected for the floor and the bench gives the option to sit or stand, to help prevent back strain. The floating bench is also designed for the husband, for present and future use as he grows older.
Non-institutional looking decorative grab bars and shampoo niches are strategically placed at sitting and standing heights for easy reach. A beautiful bay window ledge holds shower supplies and decorative accessories.
The spacious roll-in shower allows the woman to enter on her scooter. Her caregiver can safely transfer her to the shower chair, remove the original scooter from the wet area, and then have the necessary room to maneuver all around the client for comfortable and safe bathing.
A stationary shower head was included, as well as a handheld shower head on a slide bar with it’s own temperature control. The main shower head control is positioned at the front entrance to warm up the water before entering, preventing cold water shock. A heat / vent / light was also added to aid in air quality control.

Providing Quality Home Improvements in South Riding for Over 30 Years


With an ageing population, the demand for retirement homes is becoming ever more pressing. No one generally likes to think about the latter years of life, but the reality is there’s a shortage of quality accommodation to suit this ever-expanding cohort. It’s certainly a growing area for RUBI Architects, which is making an indelible mark in this domain.
St Laurence Park Retirement Village Stage 1 at Lara, on the outskirts of Geelong, has just been completed. Comprising 20 apartments in four two-storey buildings (with lifts included), this need was clearly perceived by developer Gen U, a not-for-profit organisation. With five apartments in each building, some with their own private gardens and others with terraces (on the first floor), there’s a strong connection to the site, with many of the established gums retained. Replacing what were fairly basic units built in the 1980s, these apartments, between 80 and 110 square metres in area, will provide a considerably higher quality of accommodation for those who are renting – a second stage, comprising 43 apartments expected to commence in the new year, are intended for sale rather than for rental.
While RUBI Architects was mindful of creating comfortable accommodation for predominantly singles and couples in their late 60s and beyond, it was conscious of delivering affordable housing that still met its high standards. The external materials include brick, exposed and rendered, as well as CFC cladding. And inside, there’s a neutral palette that includes wide-format tiles in the kitchen and dining areas, with carpet in the two bedrooms and in the living areas. Laminate joinery appears in the kitchen that complements an engineered stone island bench and, rather than a European-style laundry (concealed behind cupboards) there’s a spacious bathroom/laundry for residents. And instead of large garages and gardens that aren’t used, there are carports and more manageable private outdoor spaces. One thing that’s apparent is the generosity of internal spaces, including areas such as bedrooms, living areas or even passages that ensure there’s sufficient room to move around furniture or a bed for those reliant on a walker. As important for the architects was to strengthen the connection to the outdoors with unimpeded views of the landscape, paramount particularly for those more housebound – hence a large number of picture windows both in bedrooms and in living spaces.
RUBI Architects also thought of the smaller practical details that make people’s lives that much easier on a day-to-day basis – microwaves and ovens placed at suitable heights to avoid bending or reaching, charging points in the foyers of the apartments on both levels to ensure that motorised scooters can be left safely undercover and charged overnight.
While retirement homes are often seen as unexciting for many architects who would prefer to design a hotel or luxury resort, RUBI Architects sees this area as a high priority – ensuring that people look forward to their later years in life and can make the most of it.

This apartment benefits from a large open entrance hall with space for housing motorised scooters.
This is a large selling point for the apartment so we kept this area free by just installing a small console table and artwork, this helps to give a warm welcome into the apartment whilst not taking up any space.

Benefits of Buying Electric Scooters for Sale in Perth
Environmental Advantages of Using Electric Scooters over Traditional Vehicles
Electric scooters offer several environmental benefits compared to traditional vehicles. Firstly, they produce zero emissions since they run on electricity instead of gasoline or diesel fuel. An electric scooter contributes less to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, making it a more eco-friendly transportation option.
By choosing an electric scooter for your daily commute or short trips, you're helping to reduce noise pollution as these scooters operate quietly without the loud engine noises associated with conventional vehicles.
Cost Savings Associated with Owning an E-Scooter
One significant advantage of owning an electric scooter is the potential for significant cost savings. Unlike cars or motorcycles, electric scooters have lower upfront costs and are generally more affordable.
They also require less maintenance since they have fewer moving parts and don't need regular oil changes or complex engine repairs. Moreover, charging an e-scooter is much cheaper than refueling a traditional vehicle with gasoline or diesel fuel. With rising fuel prices, investing in an electric scooter can help you save money in the long run.
Health Benefits and Convenience Offered by Electric Scooters
Besides being environmentally friendly and cost-effective, electric scooters also provide health benefits and convenience for riders. Riding an e-scooter can be a fun way to incorporate physical activity into your daily routine, as it requires balance and engages your core muscles while cruising around town.
It's an excellent alternative for those who want to avoid sitting in traffic jams or struggling to find parking spaces in crowded areas.
Electric scooters are compact and lightweight, making them easy to maneuver through congested streets and narrow alleys where larger vehicles may struggle to navigate. They're also convenient for short-distance travel because they allow you to zip around quickly without worrying about finding parking spots or paying parking fees.
Age Considerations for E-Scooter Riding
There are certain age restrictions and legal requirements that need to be considered. Let's dive into the guidelines and factors you should consider when determining if someone is old enough to ride safely.
Age Restrictions and Legal Requirements
Countries and regions have varying regulations regarding the minimum age for riding an electric scooter. It is essential to familiarize yourself with the specific laws in your area before purchasing or allowing someone to ride an e-scooter. For example, some places may require riders to be at least 16 years old, while others may require a higher minimum age.
Factors to Consider for Safe Riding
Age alone should not be the sole factor determining whether someone can ride an e-scooter safely. Other considerations include physical capabilities, maturity level, and experience with similar modes of transportation.
While teenagers might meet the minimum age requirement, they may still need to gain the skills or judgment required for safe scooter riding.
Assessing whether an individual has the coordination, balance, and reaction time needed to operate an e-scooter effectively is crucial. Their ability to understand traffic rules and quick decisions on busy streets should also be considered.
Safety Precautions for Children and Teenagers
If you are considering allowing a child or teenager to ride an electric scooter, it is essential to take extra safety precautions. Here are some recommendations:
Supervision: A responsible adult should always supervise young children while riding their e-scooters.
Protective Gear: Ensure riders of all ages wear appropriate safety gear such as helmets, knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards.
Training: Provide proper training on operating the scooter safely before allowing it out independently.
Traffic Awareness: Teach children and teenagers about traffic rules, road signs, and the importance of staying alert while riding.
Safe Riding Areas: Encourage riders to stick to designated bike lanes or paths away from heavy traffic whenever possible.
Following these safety precautions can minimize the risk of accidents and ensure a safer riding experience for children and teenagers.
Battery Life and Maintenance
Importance of Battery Life in Choosing an Electric Scooter
Battery life is a crucial factor to consider when shopping for an electric scooter. It determines how far you can ride before needing to recharge. A longer battery life means more time spent cruising the streets and less time worrying about finding a charging station.
So, if you plan on using your e-scooter for daily commutes or long rides, choosing one with a reliable and long-lasting battery is essential.
Tips for Extending Battery Life and Maximizing Performance
To get the most out of your electric scooter's battery, there are a few tips you can follow:
Avoid Overcharging: Overcharging can negatively impact the lifespan of your battery. Unplug it from the charger once it reaches its full charge to prevent any potential damage.
Store Properly: Store your e-scooter in a cool and dry place when not in use. Extreme temperatures can affect the performance of the battery.
Maintain Optimal Tire Pressure: Properly inflating your tires helps reduce friction and improves overall energy efficiency, ultimately extending your battery life.
Limit Excessive Weight: Carrying heavy loads or exceeding the weight limit specified by the manufacturer puts extra strain on the motor and drains the battery faster.
Avoid Steep Hills: Climbing steep inclines requires more power from the motor, which drains the battery quickly. If possible, avoid hilly routes or be prepared for a reduced range.
Use Eco Mode: Many electric scooters offer different riding modes, including an eco-friendly mode that conserves energy by limiting speed and acceleration. Utilizing this mode can help extend your battery life significantly.
Basic Maintenance Tasks to Keep Your E-Scooter Running Smoothly
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your e-scooter. Here are some basic maintenance tasks to keep in mind:
Clean Regularly: Wipe down the scooter's exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Clean the wheels and brake pads, as these can accumulate dust and affect performance.
Check Tire Tread: Inspect the tire tread regularly for signs of wear and tear. Replace worn-out tires promptly to maintain traction and safety.
Inspect Brakes: Test the brakes periodically to ensure they are functioning correctly. Adjust or replace brake pads if necessary.
Tighten Loose Screws: Check for any loose screws or bolts on your e-scooter and tighten them as needed. This helps prevent rattling noises and ensures structural integrity.
Keep Battery Charged: Even if you're not using your electric scooter regularly, keeping the battery charged at least partially to maintain its health is essential.
By following these tips and performing regular maintenance, you can maximize the lifespan of your electric scooter's battery while keeping it running smoothly.
Durability and Warranty Information
Durability is a crucial factor to consider. After all, you want your e-scooter to withstand the test of time and provide reliable performance. So, what should you look out for when assessing durability in an e-scooter?
Quality indicators for assessing durability
One crucial quality indicator is the build material of the scooter. Look for models made from high-quality materials like aluminum or carbon fiber, as they are more durable and resistant to wear and tear. Check if the scooter has a sturdy frame and solid construction to handle various terrains.
Another aspect to consider is the weight capacity of the e-scooter. It can support your weight comfortably without compromising its overall stability and performance. A higher weight capacity often indicates better durability.
Furthermore, pay attention to the design features that enhance durability. Features such as reinforced wheels, shock absorption systems, and water resistance can significantly contribute to the longevity of your electric scooter.
The importance of warranty coverage
Warranty coverage is another critical aspect to remember when buying an electric scooter. It provides peace of mind, knowing that you have protection if any issues arise with your purchase within a specified period.
A comprehensive warranty will typically cover manufacturing defects and faulty components. It's essential to carefully review the warranty conditions before purchasing to understand what is covered and for how long.
Dynamo Fitness Equipment's commitment to customer satisfaction
At Dynamo Fitness Equipment, we prioritize customer satisfaction by offering excellent warranty coverage on our range of e-scooters for sale. Our scooters have a comprehensive warranty policy that protects your investment.
Our warranty covers manufacturing defects and faulty components under normal use conditions. If any issues arise during the specified warranty period, simply contact our dedicated customer service team, who will guide you.
We believe in the quality and durability of our products, which is why we stand behind them with a solid warranty. Our goal is to provide you with a reliable and enjoyable e-scooter experience.
Features and Tips for Purchasing
Key Features to Look for When Shopping for an Electric Scooter
There are a few key features you should keep in mind. First and foremost, safety features should be at the top of your list. Look for scooters with features such as headlights, taillights, and reflectors to ensure visibility on the road.
Consider models with a reliable braking system, such as disc brakes or regenerative braking, which can help you stop quickly and safely.
Another critical feature to consider is the weight capacity of the scooter. Choose a scooter that can comfortably support your weight without compromising its performance.
It's also essential to check the maximum speed and range of the scooter. If you plan on using it for longer commutes or trips, opt for a larger battery capacity and a more extended-range model.
Tips on Choosing the Right Size, Weight Capacity, and Range for Your Needs
Finding the right size electric scooter is crucial for both comfort and maneuverability. Consider handlebar height and deck width when selecting a scooter that suits your body type. Ensure that you have enough legroom while riding and that the handlebars are at a comfortable height.
Weight capacity is another vital consideration when purchasing an electric scooter. Be sure to choose one that can accommodate your weight, plus any additional items you may carry while riding. Exceeding the weight limit could affect the performance of the scooter.
Regarding range, consider how far you need to travel on a single charge. If you plan on using your scooter primarily for short trips around town, a lower range may suffice. However, if you anticipate longer rides or require more flexibility regarding distance covered per charge, opt for a model with an extended range.
