Fusion 3-Wheel

Ability to go uphill without even slowing down. Goes far on a charge (I haven't run out of power yet). Can hold me and groceries with no problem. Incredible turning radius!

Did not include instructions for options (rear-view mirror, cane holder)

marsha o. from mill creek, wa

age83 cantnot walk and must walk dog 3 times a day and must have a reliable scooter to do this

Manuverability, turning radius, easy to recharge. Disassembles, and parts weigh less than other scooters comfortable seat

Weight. some parts are still too heavy for a disabled person to lift in and out of a vehicle

Wife Kathryn is user. severe asthma, very bad back, bad knee.

Sharp turning radius good power realy climes hill.

Head light should be adjustable when tiller is back to a comfortable position the light shines up in the trees. The add said it dismantled in three pieces but it must be dismantled in 6 pieces.

Engineering, Design, and Construction Quality

No seat-back adjustment. Need solution!

robert m. from warminster, pa

Male, 84, living in a large retirement community (2000 residents) in Bucks County, PA. Disability, Spinal stensosis. Difficulty in walking.

Stability and easy to use - fits in the tightest spaces but has the range and stability you need outside. Easily handles rough terrain.

Because this is considered a "catagory 2" sccoter for Medicare purposes, getting Medicare coverage is tricky.

Post-polio

Solid design/mfg

Led charge indicator would be WAY better than old analog needle gauge. Needs larger for/rev paddle switches. Lower speed with paddles needed. Quicker stop on release of for/rev switch. Bright colors for for/rev paddles and tiller adjust. Flat black just way too hard to see. Possible led's on paddles and tiller adjust. Better ID on speed control rheostat. Function is fine and appears to be a solid machine but lack of easy to ID and use controls are a SERIOUS drawback. Many cheaper machines have better designed "dashboard". It wouldn't take much to fix these problems.

88 yrs, walker, bad hip, mild stroke Fusion scooter

quality construction. ease of use. like the light on the tiller.

starter key doesn't always make contact when turned on. basket on the tiller is mounted to high making it difficult to get under some surfaces in the kitchen.

After 2 months of researching scooters, I found that the Pacesaver Co. has done the research on scooter safety. I worry about stability and riding my Fusion feels safe going up reasonable inclines, from tipping, and over grass. If you are concerned about safety and quality, check it out. www.pacesaver.com

None so far after 3 weeks of use.

Simplicity

Needs to be advertised

doris f. from marshalltown, ia

I am 80 years. I suffer from CPOD and can only walk a short time and am out of breath. I love the Fusion because of the size and the simplicity.

My mother loves the scooter; however, we think it is in need of a check-up, possible new battery and seat. She turned it over a few weeks ago

Compact, great for an apartment dweller. Turning radius is super. I love going around town as it is easy to maneuver

tiller seems loose and the bar that stops the seat from rotating is very difficult to push down.
