User Details: Motor neuron issues
Strengths: Comfort. Much better for going over non paved surfaces.
Weaknesses: The 4 wheels give it a larger turn radius. Guess that is a trade off for stability. If you won't be going over terrain that might tip the scooter you may want to think about the 3 wheel version.

User Details: I'm 58 yrs old and have secondary progressive MS. I cannot walk with out the aid of a walker.
Strengths: The swivel chair is great for getting on and off. I like the tires with air. I live in the country so I drive a lot on the lawn. The Prowler moves very easily, use it everyday and the battery is still green. Everyone who sees it wants to go for a ride.
Weaknesses: I use the steering wheel for balance when I get on and off, the movement of the wheel makes it hard. Hard to adjust seat, horn is wimpy. I wish there was a rack on the back for my walker. I know I wrote lots of what I dislike but I love this scooter!!!

User Details: I am a 68 year old double above knee amputee. I love working in the yard. Have not been able to do this for the last 2 years.
Strengths: The ground height. I have lots of moles and real soft ground. I would get stuck in the smaller one I brought and would have to call someone to push me out so I stop going out on it. This one just rolls right along.
Weaknesses: The seat belt I got is not long enough for the 22" seat. IF I gain a couple pound it won't fit.

Have only had it a few weeks, but am very happy with product so far.

User Details: Male, 66 years old, toe amputation on both feet due to diabetes.
Strengths: Powerful, needed a way to get up a steep driveway and over old, cracked and uneven concrete on the side of the house. This scooter does the job, even when wet and raining! Also needed to go across the top of the driveway parallel to the slant, around a tight corner and through a gate. The scooter is stable with the left to right slant and handles the sharp turn easily. Haven't tried it on a distant trip around town yet.
Weaknesses: There were no assembling directions. My wife couldn't do it. Fortunately, we have two capable adult sons who were able to figure it out and had it out of the box and running in less than an hour.

Strengths: I have had the Spinlife Prowler 4-wheel electric scooter for about a month. I am 91. I live in a city with hilly streets, though not as steep as in San Francisco. It took my handyman an hour to assemble the scooter,starting with opening the box. I could never have done this myself. It is handsome in appearance and has attracted compliments from onlookers. The seat and armrest adjustments were very suitable for me; I am 5'10”. How to read the “power lights” describing the level of charge has always been something of a mystery to me: within a few feet of travel on a full charge the yellow light (middle) seems to be the only one lit. This made me wary at first whether the charge was sufficient for my travel; I have since come to ignore this appearance. My greatest distance accomplished so far is two miles. The scooter easily manages the gradients I encounter. I have been pleased to discover that I can travel to several restaurants, to several markets, to my doctor, to a diagnostic lab and to the CVS Pharmacy. The scooter's shock absorbers are only minimally effective; if you don't take care to go slow over sidewalk bumps, you'll come home with a very sore tailbone. The sidewalks I travel are often slanted toward the street; I've found it safest to ride on the high side and to lean toward the high side when riding these. Of course when riding on sidewalks, you have to slow at every driveway to be sure an exiting car will not hit you. I am very pleased to have found that within whatever speed level is determined by the rotating speed selector wheel, one's speed is adjusted by the degree of pressure on the black handle. A major defect in this scooter is the horn. Its beep cannot be heard ten feet away. The manufacturer should improve this right away. It is not safe if your presence cannot be made known to those in the vicinity. A major assist in planning my scooter trips is Google Maps. Using the street level function focusing on a selected area with some enlargements, one can see whether street corners are wheelchair compliant. You don't want to try driving over curbs that are not slanted toward the street. In some instances I have found I can go around this problem by driving across a street mid-block between driveways on opposite sides. It may be of interest that I purchased and had my handyman install a burglar alarm attached beneath the scooter's seat. Of course it comes with a remote. In wheel-lock mode the possibility of theft may be small, but I feel much more secure having this. Recently a problem arose I find disturbing and as yet is not fully understood. Having just stopped after exiting a ramp to the street after a “bump,” the scooter's power failed! The forward and back handles produced nothing. I had provided for this possibility by having a towing company phone listing in my cell phone (which was not on at the occurrence). The cell phone did not function properly! I seemed to be in a “dead” zone. To make a long story short a passerby called a towing company for me, which eventually sent a flat bed truck to the scene. The driver put the scooter in “free wheel” mode, then pushed me while on the scooter toward his truck across the street. Before loading the scooter, we discovered it then operated normally! He followed in the truck as I drove home on the scooter in normal manner. The cost: $50. What had happened? Spinlife phone techs said the “bump” had partially disconnected the electrical connections beneath the wheelcover, but had reconnected later to enable my return home. They agreed with my supposition that the cell phone deadening was only coincidental and had no bearing. Today my handyman came and inspected the relevant electrical (red, black, white) connectors. They were as secure as originally arranged. As a special precaution I had him tape-wrap them together. I think Spinlife does not understand what happened and neither do I. Should such an event happen when one is in the middle of crossing a street, the result could be injury or death.
