Waiting for hip revision surgery and in terrible pain, I decided to try this for a couple of reasons. I dont intend to have to use this for more than 2 or 3 months and I didnt want to spend a lot. It is compact enough to fit in my Mustang trunk after separating the main parts. ( described in detail on their website)
Im 61 and 265 lbs and this thing pushes me around just fine. Plenty of power and torque. The TURN RADIUS problem that a lot of people talk about is not a problem. There is a lock KNOB on front of the steering column. Pull it OUT and TURN it to unlock and it steers just fine. Ive squeezed through some pretty turns with no problem. Battery life us good. The second day I drove it almost continuously all day. It never went into the amber or halfway point. The only issue for me was the armrests. Even set as narrow as possible I had trouble going through small doors. Residential bathroom for example. But the chassis is short and legroom is tight but it was meant to travel. If I had to be in a scooter all day or for an extended period Id definitely find a larger scooter. However, if you need a scooter for travel and not for extended periods then I would definitely recommend this one!
