End User Desc: He is a T-6 Paraplegic.

Strengths: I liked the fact that it was not heavy and it was a travel scooter so you could carry it with you.

Weaknesses: It should be longer so that if some one is stiff they could use it. Unfortunately we could not use ours because it was not long enough. It would be nice if it was made for people who could not bend their knees. It would only need to be a little longer.

End User Desc: 73 YR OLD FEMALE. NO LEG STRENGTH. USES SCOOTER FOR 90% OF HER MOBILITY

Strengths: Easy to manuever, turns on a dime. Battery seems to stay charged for a good period of time.

Weaknesses: Needs some type of tray, perhaps about 10"x12" w/ 3 or 4 inch sides to hold items flatly and securely. My mother goes to the kitchen w/scooter but cannot steer and carry items back to her room evenly. Like a plate of food or a drink, etc.

Reviewer: Maria P. from San Diego, CA
End User Desc: 52 year old woman with Multiple Sclerosis

Strengths: I use a heavy motorized wheelchair for daily life. To attend a family wedding in Washington D.C., I needed something light weight to take on the airplane and get in and out of rental cars. This new scooter was PERFECT; I saw all the Smithsonian museums and monuments, recharging each night. It was light enough that we were able to rent a regular rental car and I took it on the Metro and all around town.

End User Desc: User is early sixties who has had multiple surgeries and limited mobility and even less endurance.

Strengths: Easy to handle and manuvers in the home. Battery life is outstanding. Light weight make it easy to handle. Does not require a special carrier.

Weaknesses: Slips out of gear a lot. I consider this a quality weakness. Would like an indicator (light) that says when the charging process is complete. And would like and would pay for a more informative instruction book.
