Panther

The Panther so far has given me what I need. I am 82 and use it mostly to walk my dogs. It enables me to do that as without it I couldn't even have the dogs! Bad back makes walking painful. It has the speed I need.

None so far.

I am a 83 year old male! And this is my 2nd Panther scooter and I hope that this 1 last as long as the 1st did. I use it all day long to do my work.

The Panther is an excellent mobility scooter. Brakes work great. Motors are very quiet and are powerful.

So far I haven't found any noticeable weaknesses!!

I first purchased an EW72, which I truly believe has a couple of design flaws. It was engineered wrong, but I returned it and purchased the Panther.

It is too early to tell but so far it is very comfortable and rides fine.

It feels a little tippy on the slightly bumpy lawn.

Many of the features are spot on for someone with mobility issues.

The seat adjustment does not allow someone stretchable leg room

You can go anywhere out side with this scooter my husband go's everywhere in our yard and property.

If you haul it it takes two to load it on rack but you can take it anywhere it's very heavyweight.

This panther scooter has been a blessing for my husband he can't walk he can get outside now he loves it.

Smooth ride, hill climbing, and terrain handling. I have a flat loose stone area and a 100 foot x 13 degree hill that my Go-Go Traveler Elite has difficulty negotiating. The Panther handles this easily. This was the reason for my purchasing and am totally satisfied with the performance in this area. The spring suspension ride is excellent as compared to my Go-Go Traveler.

Weight and height of unit makes for heavy steering when not moving. Not too bad, but not as easy as my 3-wheel Go-Go Elite Traveler and is to be expected when upgrading to heavier unit. The turning radius also takes some getting used to since unit is large as compared to my traveler scooter. My other gripe is that the seat slide back-stop is positioned too far forward making me wish I could adjust the seat another 6" to the back. I purchased the larger 22" seat which does not help the slide-back adjustment. The 22" seat is BIG and I wish that I had not purchased it for my 180 pound frame to use.

Better suspension; easier to start and stop.

No place for a safety flag to be mounted.

Daugher is 44 years old with Cerebral Palsy. She uses a rollator in the house and for short distances. She loves to cruise our rural neighborhood.

My wife already has a smaller portable scooter. But after using it for 5-10 miles per day for 3 months we realized the scooter would probably not last. We are also in a very hilly area, so she needed a more robust scooter. The further range, higher speed, better seating, and added suspension on this model have been great! It handles the terrain effortlessly and gives a vastly improved ride. She says, "it's like riding on air." The SpinLife rep, Karl, was extremely helpful in figuring out what model she would need based upon her driving experiences.

Big and heavy, but we knew that when we purchased it.
