Mobility Scooter Circuit Breakers

One of the most important safety features on any mobility scooter is the circuit breaker. It essentially provides protection if there’s an electrical overload, and it works by breaking the trip when this happens, in turn protecting crucial electrical components. It’s also commonly referred to as a reset button.

If your circuit breaker no longer works, you’ll need to replace it as soon as possible. Here, you’ll find an array of replacement circuit breakers to match different scooters. Our range includes 15A, 20A, 25A, 30A, 35A, 40A, 50A, 60A, 70A, 80A, and 100A breakers that work for many different scooter brands, from Pride to Invacare to Shoprider.
