Mobility scooter beeper.

preferably leaving the "horn" functionality normal? It's quite
a new machine, for road & pavement.

A small piece of masking tape partly over the hole in the sounder.?

That's what I'd suggest as it won't invalidate the warranty.
Failing that, contact the supplier, they'll probably sort it for free.

But that would mean the horn will be lower tone as well?

Depends on the type of sounder.
If it's a typical piezo-electric one, the element is inside a
cylindrical container and there is a hole on the face of the
container. Obscuring part of the hole, reduces the sound level but
doesn't make any significant difference to the frequency of the sound.
It works for the beepers on PC motherboards as well.

If I remember correctly on the wifes TGA superlight I removed a link which
stopped the horn when reversing but allows the horn to work when the button
is pushed. check with a maintenance/repair company who will be able to tell
you if yours can be disabled.

The only thing I wonder about that is whether there is a requirement
to have this operative if it being driven on the road. IIRC, one has
to have an orange flashing light on a pole for that?
My father's one, which is more like a golf buggy is a pavement type
and has a button operated horn but not a reversing beeper.

Quite the reverse <sorry>, it's only HGVs that are allowed/required to have
reversing beepers for road use. Perhaps it's the pavement use that makes
it necessary or a selling point by the manufacturer.

What is it pete, I'm sure I've heard of someone being done for having one
on an ordinary car, as being against construction & use regs.

Council vans use them as well (the average Transit sort) for safety
reasons. Lights are covered by regulations but beepers should not be.

This is the best reference I can find for this subject, it may be out of date:
Reversing alarms
68. Regulation 99 of the Road Vehicles (Construction and Use)
Regulations+3+ permits reversing alarms to be sounded on roads on
goods vehicles with gross weight not less than 2000kg, buses, engineering
plant and works trucks. This discourages the fitting of reversing alarms to
many vehicles because they need to be switched on and off depending on
where the vehicle is used.

Do the hazard warning lights come on with the ignition? :-)

True but Halfrauds also sell things that aren't legal to put on your car
like under car lightening etc.

If you call your supplier, you may find that the reversing bleeper can be
shut off completely with them attaching a programmer to your scooter.

Know this is an old thread but how do you work out where the sound is comng
from? Is it comig from the tiller near the reversng lever or out from the
back of the scooter? I can't see an hole in back of scooter shroud that sound
would come through? Mine's a Rascal 850.
