Made well! Strong and well-balanced!Watch EVERY video on this (YouTube) so you're prepared when it comes.The horn makes a cute but powerful sound.The LED lights function adequately.Remain calm if the lever that should have engaged the driving wheels doesn't. Simply give it a small hand nudge to make it return ( it will )Although the batteries are enough charged for you to try it out, I advise against pushing it too far so you can finish topping them off overnight.When you turn, be mindful of the center of gravity! Don't rush anything! Be gentle since it might tip!Overall, $579 was well spent. I've drove it a lot over the last few weeks. Wow!! Love it a lot!!! As a handicapped veteran,

I bought it in the end of May, but I only used it for the first time yesterday (early July). The first thing that struck me was how little room it takes up. It loads without any disassembly in the back of our minivan, but if I want to put it in the trunk of my car, I can lift the seat out and fold the steering arm down, and there is still plenty of space in the trunk. Even my wife's Mustang's trunk will fit it in! If necessary, it's light enough for me to lift by myself (though it is much easier if one person grabs the front and another the rear).When I got it, I charged the battery as soon as possible. Before being used, it sat for a month and a half. Last night, we brought it to the Daytona Beach Boardwalk, where I spent a solid three hours driving it around. Still displaying a full charge on the meter!It's extremely pleasant to travel in, and I enjoy that the seat can turn so I can get to a table and sit down without having to look for a place to put it. When you're ready to ride, the seat locks back straight.Its low center of gravity makes it highly adept at navigating confined spaces. The scooter leaned sharply to the left on one particularly steep hill in our journey, but it showed no signs of toppling over. This money has so far been well spent!

Due to RA, I have not been able to go on day trips till recently. I've already enjoyed two theme parks thanks to this scooter, which is something I haven't been able to do in three years. It is pleasant and simple to use. From 9 am to 9 evening, we just visited one park, using only approximately half of the battery. I felt secure and had no trouble turning. It fits me perfectly, and I'm 145 pounds and 5' 6". I changed the speed to match my husband's pace; it slowed down on inclines, but I just increased the speed and it took off. Our MINI fits perfectly in the back hatchback; the seat and armrests are simple to remove for loading; and the steering column can be lowered for transportation. To recharge, we bring the battery pack inside the home. I adore my scooter. It includes a front basket, a drink holder that must be assembled, a pocket on the back of the seat, and a small storage pocket on one armrest that is ideal for storing personal belongings. We did purchase a daypack from Amazon and fastened it to the back of the seat so we could carry water and other essentials!

Once put together, it appears to be a cute small unit. The first one, nevertheless, had a detective battery. I asked for a return. When the second one showed up, the steering was broken.It worked when I merged the two!Right, I see. This is where the humor starts.The excellent customer service at Amazon arranges for a specialized freight firm to pick it up. They arrange a pick-up for the absentee in front of my flat. It's all good.When I get home from my doctor's visit, I discover that my brand-new, functional scooter is taken, along with the $20 locks that plainly don't work. And the non-working scooter in the open box is still there.I'm crying while laughing. I have a disability. Weeks have passed since my scooter broke down. There is no assembly service offered by Amazon for this kind of merchandise. I bought 2 assemblies for the going rate in my area. 200.00.20.00 more for the locks.Still no scooter for me. I need to start saving now because I won't be able to use my scooter during this entire procedure.Last Edit. Fantastic Unit. works incredibly well.

I came upon this while looking online for a crutch substitute after dealing with crutches for three weeks. I chose this little beauty after reading reviews, attempting to stay within a reasonable pricing range, and talking to my orthopedic surgeon. This is a miracle. In a cast and boot for three months due to an Achilles tendon rupture, I sobbed uncontrollably at the thought of using crutches to get around for a year and a half. I no longer had to wait for others to bring me items or complete simple household tasks because I could now freely zip around. It can be moved about easily, which I think would be much simpler in a bigger house. I live in a little house, yet I can maneuver around with a 3-point turn. It is sturdy but manageable to lift up, and because it is well-made, I don't worry that it would topple over or disintegrate. For goods that I couldn't carry on crutches, the basket comes in helpful. Just so relieved to have it; unless you've been restricted from moving around freely, you simply do not understand how sad it is. My rehabilitation will be far less stressful as a result.

JUST GOT THE SCOOTER, ASSEMBLY WAS VERY SIMPLE. The only issue is that there is nowhere in the instructions for unlocking the front wheel. I fiddled with it for a while before pulling on it, which caused it to snap into an outside position. I laughed out loud with my wife. HOW COME THEY COULDN'T INCLUDE THAT IN THE INSTRUCTIONS. The AC connector must be plugged into the battery, but it's not too difficult. The manual states that you must charge for 6 to 9 hours before using the scooter for the first time, however my scooter arrived already charged. It rides well, and I rode it around the house. I WON'T TELL YOU HOW THAT WORKED OUT UNTIL I TRY TO LOAD IT IN MY TRUNK. A WARRANTY IS INCLUDED WITH THE SCOOTER, by the way. Battery six months and various parts at various times. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND IMMEDIATE SCOOTER REGISTRATION FOR COMPLETE WARRANTY PROTECTION. I'M CONFIDENT THAT IT WILL SUIT MY NEEDS FOR GOING SHOPPING, TO BALL PARKS, AND SUCH LIKE. I DO NOT INTEND TO RIDE IT ON THE STREETS.It only functions on level surfaces, therefore it doesn't ride properly on the pebbles in our front yard. I have a 2016 Buick Cascada, and while I have the scooter in the trunk, I won't be able to lower the top of the car in the fall because of the scooter. To fit it in, I had to take it apart much more than just in five pieces. I also had to remove the basket mounting screws and the handles from the seat and lower seat tube. That is the reason I deducted a star. I still think it'll be useful for outings and if we take the wife's SUV. I had to change my rating back to 5 stars because this scooter is excellent and it just took me 10 minutes to put it together and 5 minutes to take it apart. I haven't been able to enter Costco for three years. We did put it in my wife's SUV after we came home, but only because I want to open the top when the weather cools off and we always take her SUV. If I need it, I can also use her car. Anyway, I'm quite pleased with how well this scooter works, and the battery still had all of its charge after an hour of riding around. All I needed to bring inside the house when we arrived home was the battery pack to keep it charged. You can tell that I'm not a small guy even though I was only buzzing around with it turned up halfway in the photographs I've included. I did remove the handlebars because I don't really understand their purpose, and in Vegas, when we rented a scooter, I always left them up.

This mobility scooter is a top-notch item! I bought it so that my 80-year-old mother, who has limited mobility, can accompany me on outings to shop and engage in outdoor activities. It is flawless. Strong and small enough to fit through grocery store aisles, cross busy streets, and even squeeze between restaurant tables. With just a few levers, it folds and unfolds quite quickly, and operating the controls is incredibly easy. To be fair to anyone contemplating this product, the only drawback I must note is how difficult it is to get it into and out of a car. My mother, or any elderly person with limited mobility, arthritis, or any degree of frailty, will not be able to lift it into and out of a vehicle because it weighs between 44 and 70 pounds, depending on whether it is with or without the battery (of course, when you are using it, the battery is included in the overall weight). My husband and I are able to lift it out of the car, put it up for my mom (it takes 10 seconds to unroll), and then she can ride it about freely because she is never left alone. She cannot fold it up or lift it back into the car on her own, so the same procedure applies at the end of the excursion. Other than the weight issue, I give this product a five star rating because it's great and she likes using it.

This was purchased for my wife's scooter. On her crutches, we have ergo tips (link below.) They simply rest on top because they do not fit within the small cage at the bottom. The tips have been cut off, as can be seen if you enlarge the one photograph. I doubt that it would even accept tips of the standard size. Although it would be wonderful if it were bigger, it is still more secure than the old one it was meant to replace.High Performance Crutch Rubber Tip by Ergocap® (Universal-2 Crutch Tips) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O571QUM/ref=cm sw r cp apa I DeaOCbBPBDTEK

I've tried three different knee scooters, and I need one that is reasonably priced, has a long, sturdy frame, is foldable for transportation, travel, and storage, has large, all-terrain wheels, dual breaks, a handle bar/steering column that can only be raised to a 45 degree angle (any sharper and the scooter will tilt, which is dangerous! ), and has a comfortable, padded seat with two molded contours for scooting and that can also be used as This has each of those qualities. Additionally, it has pegs to carry a basket (which is optional, but you can buy one from Amazon and I ADORE my basket) and this particular model has a pretty useful bag that you can either attach to the scooter or remove for a cross-body bag. My problem: I'm just 5'7". For me, it's FAR TOO HIGH. My leg and hip are shaken by it. My back jars! It's also positioned low for the seat. Additionally, it takes two hands to lock the breaks into place since they are so rigid. not speedy and secure. I haven't attempted to grease them, to be honest. It takes practice to fold up, so check for the tutorials on YouTube before it gets too difficult and I can't get on my knees to adjust it. When the handle bar is folded up, secure it to the frame with a 6" strap. Folded, it travels well. I would give it a higher grade if it fit me. This scooter is for people who are 5'9" or taller.

Size-wise, a manual wheelchair will fit just well. I aimed to be able to cram the entire wheelchair into the bag before tying it shut. It had plenty of extra room and fit well. The bag is made of a thin, lightweight material. It might not be appropriate for wheelchairs that go outside of cars since it might be too weak to withstand the wind. I used to have a wheelchair that would ride on the exterior of my car, but that's just my opinion. Additionally, the drawstring that is included to close the bag. Possibly a little challenging for some. To make it tighter, you needed to work the cloth through the drawstring, which required some effort to gather together. To be clear... Nothing serious, though. Overall, it's a nice storage bag for the money—much less expensive than what other sellers are asking on Amazon.
To qualify for a free mobility scooter, you must have a disability that limits your mobility. This can be a physical disability, such as a spinal cord injury, or a neurological disability, such as cerebral palsy. You must also have a doctor’s prescription for a mobility scooter.
A vertical lift is a type of lifting device that uses a hydraulic ram to raise and lower a load. The ram is connected to a platform that the load is placed on, and the platform is raised or lowered by the ram. The amount of force that the ram can generate is determined by the size of the piston and the amount of pressure that is applied to the piston.
There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on the individual's needs and preferences. Some people find that 3 wheel mobility scooters are more maneuverable and easier to control, while others find that 4 wheel mobility scooters are more stable and easier to ride. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to decide which type of mobility scooter is best for them.
