game changer if your walking is limited and you have not tried a mobility device yet
This scooter is great for mobility. We have now purchased two of these for my husband. The new one has one bummer, in that they slowed down the reverse so much that it can’t reverse over small bumps without assist from another person or your legs— this includes an elevator entry and a door threshold. The first one we had did this with ease. Overall here are the pros/cons: Pros: -Light weight -forward goes a little faster than average walking pace, so no worries about keeping up -seat comes off easily to lighten the unit when putting in the car -The batteries last a LONG time. We can go out all day to a walking event (farmers market, etc.) with the two batteries that come with it without a concern. -You can buy a cushier seat for it, but it does make it heavier. -Game changer if your mobility is limited… you get to participate with your friends/family for walking events in community. Spouse was resistant to trying it and it has been so amazing for social opportunities and exploration. -brakes can be tightened -people are so helpful when they see you in a scooter in the community, many are so willing to help out. Cons: -Folding is almost impossible as the clasp that releases it is too difficult to open without some kind of tool, even for an able bodied person. -as mentioned reverse is now so slow it is not very functional and doesn’t give the power to go over small bumps like an elevator threshold -The controls can be damaged by rain. Living in Seattle this is a tough one. We carry an umbrella and a clear plastic bag in the basket to protect controls just in case we get caught out in the rain. -Wheels are small and don’t do well on bumpy terrain like cobblestones, gravel, or grass -there don’t seem to be any replacement parts except for the seat (would love if replacement wheels, brakes, and controls were available) Read more
