   This scooter is a great deal and easy on pocketbook. It weighs 47lbs and can be handled by one person. I swapped the seat for a large bicycle seat which reduced the weight further. I removed the running boards as well as they impeded putting my feet down on the ground (used a grinder to cut the metal bar on right side but saved left metal bar to use as a handle). The rear-end wheels are noticeably wider that most handicapped scooters, so care must be take when making sharp turns. I would recommend this for someone who can stand and lift5 45lbs.

   I bought this scooter because of my bad back. I can’t walk great distances anymore, nor can I lift heavy weights. I needed something to get me around, but I live alone, so it had to be light and portable so I could get it into my vehicle without assistance.This product does all of that. However, there are a lot of inconveniences I was not aware of before I bought it. In addition to being light, it is also small, which means adjustments have to be made every time I sit on it. The handlebars are short, so I have to bend over slightly to use it.It has good speed and pickup, which is a blessing. It won’t break any speed records, but it will quickly outdistance those clunky scooters you find at the local supermarket. Unlike many scooters with which the motor will stop you when you release the accelerator, this one does not. It has a hand brake for this purpose, which takes a bit of getting used to. The hand brake also has a parking brake setting so it won’t roll away from you when you dismount while on a hill.The turning radius is terrible–roughly 12 feet–which makes it impossible to drive around tight corners without going backward and forward multiple times, or sometimes dismounting and physically reorienting the entire scooter to the new direction. At home I have to wheel it out my front door and point it down the hallway in the right direction because the hall is too narrow to turn the corner. I have to do the same when getting it into the elevator. It is a good thing it is so light, so this is just an inconvenience rather than a reason to return it.There is no way to secure it if I have to run into a small store or a restroom and have to leave it outside. All of the scooters I have seen before have a key or other way to disable the battery power, making it more difficult to steal if one wanted to do so. (Yes, there are depraved people in this world who would do that.) The only way to disable it would be to physically remove the battery from its compartment and carry it in with me. This requires bending over or kneeling, which are things I don’t do easily anymore. Thankfully, the batteries are light and easy to remove and replace.Which brings me to the last inconvenience, which is that you must remove the battery from the scooter to plug it in and recharge it. There is no way to plug in the scooter itself to charge its battery. It does, however, have one bonus: a spare battery that stores under the seat so you can swap them if the first battery runs out of power. I haven’t taken it on any long journeys yet, so I don’t know how far it will go on one charge. However, I have ordered a pair of long-range cells that each hold double the power, so range anxiety shouldn’t be a problem.So … there are difficulties, but it does what it needs to do for me, so I’ll keep it. The price tag was less than half what I would pay for a full scooter three times its weight, so I should expect difficulties like this.

   This is a durable scooter that allows me to go places again. It’s smaller than most store scooters so things like the clothes sections are no longer impossible to navigate. It does have a wide turn so you do have to back up and go forward a couple times here and there. Also on steep hills or certain kinds of gravel it will struggle at times, it handles grass and dirt easily and the charge lasts nearly a whole day split between batteries and if I bring my charger to places I stop it definitely lasts a whole day. This scooter allowed me to enjoy my anniversary and explore san antonio something I thought was no long a possibility for me with my chronic back pain.
