We love purchasing on Amazon, because the reviews let us know what will meet our needs and work for us. Here is another case in point. We have looked at locally available mobility scooters, and there are many places to purchase scooters here where we live in South Florida. However, this Drive Medical scooter is half the price of the other major brand, and Drive Medical makes high quality, well-made scooters. The Amazon reviews convinced us to go ahead and buy it. My husband wanted a scooter so he could ride down to the shopping mall, which is about half a mile from our home, and the public library is about a mile away. There are sidewalks the whole way. At the highest speed, he is content. The steering is supposed to be less tight on a 4-wheel scooter versus a 3-wheel, but we wouldn’t need more. The seat is very comfortable, and my husband is heavier. The weight limit is 300 lbs. The basket is larger than other scooters that we looked at. The leg room is ample, even though it looks small, it’s really great. We kept the red accents, but it comes with a package of blue accents if you prefer that color. We left the garage door open, and the delivery truck put the scooter into the center of the garage. Assembly was easy. The directions and Owner’s Manual are very well written and easy to understand. You can download the manual to save it electronically (click on the link “Warranty” above the description on Amazon, and you will get the latest Owner’s Manual version.) So I went to Drive Medical online and tried to register the scooter for the warranty. The problem was that there are several numbers on the stickers on the scooter, and I couldn’t tell which number was the actual serial number. Clue: the serial number is 12 digits long, it starts with a number, and the second digit is a letter. So, I called Customer Service. The people were very polite and answered right away. They said that I didn’t need to worry; that Amazon automatically registered the Drive Medical scooter for us at the time of purchase. I asked them to explain the warranty, and they did. The scooter came partially charged, so my husband was able to take a short drive right away. OK, so then we charged it overnight, and my husband took it for a ride. It’s supposed to go at least 9 miles, but it ran out of battery charge at .4 mile (I measured the distance with the car). We tried charging it for another 24 hours, and the same thing happened – it ran out of battery charge at under 1/2 mile. So I called Customer Service, explained what was happening, what the display lights looked like, etc., and they said they would take care of it. Two days later we received a new charging cord. I called Customer Service, and said, I thought we were supposed to be getting a new battery, and they said, just try it. We charged the scooter overnight with the new charger, and it works fine. I highly recommend this mobility scooter. It is easy to take apart and put in the back of our car, I can do it by myself, and I’m 65. It is silent when running. It is very comfortable. Really great. You can’t beat this price. The Customer Service is wonderful and responsive.

I bought this for my husband after researching every scooter, cheap and expensive. I would give more stars if I could. Let me explain:1. Putting it together. It was put together mostly on arrival. All I had to do was attach the arms to the seat, put the seat on, and tighten it all as appropriate. It took less than 5 minutes. The directions are simple and easy to understand.2. The battery was already fully charged. It has Velcro on the bottom and there is a piece on the seat pole that turns in order to “lock” the battery in place so it doesn’t move.3. Transporting. My husband and I took off the battery, the seat, and basket to load into the back of our trunk (We have a Toyota Corolla). It fit perfect. We took off the back part which locks in place quick and easy just to make it easier for me to lift, even though I could lift it easily.4. Putting it back together at our destination was very quick and easy too.5. Driving it at the festival was wonderful. He went through a lot of gravel with ease. Wet grass was no problem and it didn’t slide or slow down. Up and down VERY steep hills was no trouble at all. He is 5,10″, 250lbs, and it kept its speed on control knob right in the middle all day. It didn’t bogg down or slow at all. The ride was smooth and even, and the seat was comfortable on his bad back.6. Battery after almost 7 hours at the festival only used 2 “bubbles” on the battery life indicator. He only turned it off for 10 minutes to eat, then continued driving.This scooter is a MUST for any disabled veteran. I can’t compliment Scout enough. It was comfortable, and smooth riding, even with a lot of hills and gravel. If you have researched scooters to find the best, look no further. Such an amazing, affordable mode of transportation! There are 0 negative things about this scooter. My husband is very happy that I bought it. He now can go to festivals and other fun adventures without worrying about a thing. 100% positive happiness!

Great quality for an amazingly low price.
Hubby has a nuerological disorder that make walking longer distances in loud, bright places difficult. We got it mostly for his medical treatments. The parking lot too far for him to walk to the central entrance.
