Buzzaround Carry On Folding Scooter

This is a sturdy scooter, folds up tightly, fits easily in the back of our SUV.  Very maneuverable with a good turning radius.  The headlights and taillights are bright.  My wife, 76 years of age is able to handle the folding, unfolding and lifting the scooter into the car and removing it. The tiller adjusts easily.  The scooter enables us to go places and do things, like church attendance and restaurants or touring, that were previously becoming difficult.  We’ve got our mobility back.  

I’m 6’ tall and 200 lbs.  Sitting in the scooter is a tight fit.  The front tires are small and don’t handle rough pavement or various sidewalk  elevations well.  You’ve got to hold the tiller carefully or lose control.  The seat doesn’t swivel and that’s a problem for me.  My wife is physically active and can handle the scooter.   A weaker person might find it hard to load the unit into a vehicle.  It’s not as easy as the video shows.  My scooter had a folding basket included in the package, but no instruction on how to attach it.  No brackets.  No bottle holder.  A 35amp fuse needed to be inserted in the power panel but no instructions on how to open the panel.  The SpinLife rep couldn’t help but I figured it out.  The battery is difficult to remove so I had to use a tool to help.  When traveling on planes or cruise ships I’d use another portable scooter.  Carrying the battery aboard a plane and the scooter folded up in a bag would not work for us.

I’m 80, married, partially paralyzed, active, at the gym 3 days/week. I’ve got 2 other, Pride scooters, but needed a lighter one to load in our car.

Light,easy to load,unload,and assemble 

Needs a backup beeper. Handle in center rear would be nice for loading, unloading. She thinks the seat  wobbles a little.

Being able to fold be the scooter is a plus.

A weakness would be the ability to pick it up easily if you have a disability.

Size and port

Stability and comfort

richard l. from roswell, ga

85 year old with peripheral neuropathy who misses walking through events like art fairs and parks. Scooter solves the problem.

Very lightweight. Only 3 pieces to deal with including the battery. The battery has a very long range for being so compact and variable speed is more than adequate.

I think if someone is 6 foot or taller there legs are going to feel a bit cramped.

Battery life and distance travel

Weight of base and to place in vehicle have to put down rear seats

Disappointed in the weight and the inconvenience of transport .

It has an extra battery for travel as well as a battery with extended mileage 

My husband is 6’1” so the length could be longer

The scooter was purchased for my husband James who has MS. He is 61.

It is light enough for me to put it in our van by myself. It is not bulky like a lot of scooters and it has a really tight turn radius. I love the platform height because he likes going around the yard and can't walk that far. The battery is very easy to remove and is not big and bulky. This is an amazing scooter.

So far the only thing I could ask for is an interchangeable larger basket for grocery shopping or a place to put a larger basket on the back of the seat back. It would make it a lot easier when shopping..

I bought this for my 78 year old husband who has chronic back pain and stability issues. He can't lift heavy stuff and we don't have a scooter lift.

Light weight, convenient, portable, doesn’t take up space in a vehicle, home or apartment. Fashionable and aesthetically pleasing to the eyes.

The tires are small and isn’t the smoothest ride that I’ve experienced riding scooters. One does sacrifice with limited storage with the back pouch connected to the seat. The strengths far away these weaknesses or limitations.
