Loving this mobility scooter. Its very quiet. I went to an outdoor mall a week after receiving it. It was wonderful to be independent (instead of someone pushing my manual wheelchair) and to stay longer than I normally would (when I use my walking cane). I still need to learn how to load/unload it into the trunk of my car. My husband has done it every time. After watching him, itll take some time for me to be able to do it alone. It looks heavy and (I believe) there are five parts. When I left the mall after 3 hours, the charge on the scooter battery barely changed and my own (body) battery wasnt totally drained. Yay! Ive also tested out the speeds and am very impressed at how fast the scooter could go if I ever needed it to. The two cons are turning the wheel and the seat. I havent mastered turning because the wheel doesnt turn all the way. When at the mall, I had to either cut really, really wide or back up go forward several times. The seat is not as comfortable as I would like so I plan to buy a padded seat cover. For these two reasons, I wanted to give it 4 stars but at this price point I just couldnt. It is much better priced than others I was looking at. I hope it holds up. Also, I left the arms off for now. The seat spins to the outside for me to get in and out which is very convenient. I cant wait to take it for another spin. So far, I love my new scooter. Will update this review in a few months.
Love My New Ride!
