71...i have nurophathy of my legs,i have a great deal of pain walking.
Absolutely, positively fantastic -- meets the need..
Ease of assembly, durability, comfortable,good height above ground,holds a good charge, feels secure while riding and stores easily in trunk of car.
On first trip one of the floor-mats came off without us knowing and was lost. Evidently the mats aren't secure enough and the movement of a person's feet loosen the mats. Now our beautiful scooter has only one floor mat :(

My husband uses the scooter so that he can get around "places of interest" that we visit -- he can't walk for a long distance.
Efficient, easily transportable, reliable
Excellent maneuverability, easy disassembly and storage
Battery bulky and too heavy. Least easy piece to connect correctly. Slightly tippy, but to be expected from a "travel" scooter. The manual needs to be rewritten and get some good pictures of assembly/disassembly. Seat post assembly very unclear.

Because of my balance,I need a walker or an electric scooter. I usually use the scooter outdoors to go supermarket, go to the barber,go for a walk.
very easy to set up and use
Ease of transporting, I drive a Hyundai Sonata, the scooter fits easily in my trunk with room to spare. I am 58 years old female.I can lift and assemble the scooter in less than 5 minutes.
I would not recommend for grassy or hilly areas, clearance is low and stability questionable. I might add that my husband really tries to put this to the test. I think the scooter is fine for sidewalks and shopping situations.

My husband is 74, 6 feet tall 200 pounds. This scooter is adaquate for short trips, however a bit small for extended time on scooter.
easy to travel with, easy to use
weight of pieces just reaches my capability. easy to disassemble.
assembly- would prefer to hear or fell a click of some kind with back end to frame. sometimes not locked in place. circiut breaker should be mounted on tiller with other controls. cane holder was not good. Sent back- still waiting for refund- made one for less than 10 bucks with PVC sink pipe that was better than what sent tied with elastics.
ilda c. k. from north reading, ma (caregiver)
Jeff is 56 years old, had a severe stroke 7 years ago. Limited mobility, stamina. Left side of body affected.
This product is better than expected.
It's longer length makes getting on and off easy. Simple to disassemble and put in a car. Four wheels make it more stable than our previous three wheel model.
No major weaknesses. When shopping could use a wider and slightly larger basket.
