J. Thomas Noble, Jr. –
Before I bought my SnapnGo I read every review on Galenus Medical, most of them twice. The neurological disease of Ataxia has been increasingly worsening my ability to walk distances. So about a year ago I bought a Pride Go-Go Sport and it is an extremely good machine servicing me well, getting around Disneyland with my annual pass and anywhere else that requires distance. By the way I am 6’2” and weigh 200 lbs. Please be patient for I am coming to the part of the SnapnGo review. The only real problem with the Pride Go-go was loading and unloading it into my car. Yes it breaks down into four main parts but each is relatively heavy and it takes some motivation to put it together and take it apart. Because of that I was always hesitant to use it. It was a bit too much. That whole scooter weighs assembled about 120 lbs! (The total weight of the SnapnGo is about 52 lbs) So, I started researching light weight scooters that could perform as well but I could easily put in and out of the car without effort. I read everything on Galenus Medical and even called the Glion company. I twice drove to the distributor in San Clemente and checked out the SnapnGo. Instead of being heavy like the Go-Go, the SnapnGo has absolutely no extra weight and is a breeze to load and unload in my car. The Go-Go requires about five motions lifting relatively heavy pieces and putting them together, while the SnapnGo basically needs the seat to be removed and the frame to be put in or out of the car in one easy motion. Viola!!! Now I keep the SnapnGo in my car at all times and do not hesitate to take it out and scoot anywhere I need or want to go. While I had to psych up to use the Go-Go, I use the SnapnGo on the slightest whim. Convenience is not the only thing; the snap and go is also a fine machine. I have now used it many times and really like it’s performance! It is stable, comfortable and can do over 7 miles per hour compared to the Go-Go’s 4.5. I gave it a test run of 11 miles traveling at least 6.5 mph. I am keeping the Go-Go as a back up and for friends to use along with me on the SnapnGo. Of course, there are some minor things I like better on each of the machines. I have found nothing about the SnapnGo that has been unacceptable. To the contrary I am absolutely thrilled at how much more I am prone to grab it out of the car to use. It’s a piece of cake. I must include in this review the excellent assistance I got from Laurie and Robert at the company. They answered my every question and Robert even walked me through a performance issue that got worked out. Excellent folks and support. Laurie made it abundantly clear I could either order directly from the company or from Galenus Medical and that either direction would be the same. So, I went through Galenus Medical and got the scooter in three days. It was amazing how well and secure it was boxed and how easily it came together. No muss, no fuss. I hope you are helped by my own journey through the world of mobility scooters.

We got this for my dad who has major back pain. He cannot stand or walk for long periods of time. It was light enough for him to take out of the box and put together all by himself. It has a horn, a headlight, forward and reverse. He let me try it out last night. The chair is super comfortable, and the throttle is easy to control. This little chair has some power, it can go pretty fast at full speed. What a great product for the cost.

For the most part, I’m pleased. However, there are a few things that really concern me. I’m a 62-year-old male who suffers from MS and have trouble using my left leg/arm/hand.Pros:• The scooter is built incredibly well. The welded joints, for example, are superb• At the 3rd speed level, it is amazingly fast. It almost makes me want to wear a helmet• The battery life is incredible as well. I can’t give specifics yet, but I received it 2 weeks ago, use it daily, and it just now shows it needs recharged• It’s light (yes, including the lithium battery) and folds up small enough for me to lift in and out of a 2018 Accord trunk (which also houses 2 12” sub-woofers).• Lift the seat off, and it folds by pressing a release lever with your foot• The basket is big enough to carry its charger AND my lunch boxCons:• The motor is weirdly noisy. I expected nearly silent operation, but was somewhat disappointed. It seems the faster you go, the quieter it gets.• It tends to struggle starting on any incline. Sometimes it sits there and “pulses” trying to start• If you’re going up an incline and stop midway, BEWARE! It will tend to drift backwards and by its design, the “Forward” command is disabled if it senses reverse motion.• Likewise, any forward momentum disables the “Reverse” command. This leaves you with one option if you find you’re coasting forward or backward:• The handbrake, which is less effective than one would think. If you have the strength in your left hand, then its not that big of a deal. I do not, and it is• In addition to its only brake, the “Reverse” command is controlled by you left hand• It has induction braking while powered on. Not enough to stop the above scenario, but enough to send you almost flying forward should you be going fast and let go of the “Forward” button• The full-size seat is a bit awkward. I omit the side hand rests, which helps somewhat• The hand bell is obnoxious. If anyone rings mine, I’ll ring their neck!! (kidding)Wish it had:• A single “forward/reverse” switch, on either side.• If its on and not moving, it should “lock” in its place (no gravity coasting)• Manual braking with induction support. If you let off of the “Forward” button, a right-side hand manual/induction brake would be niceIn my opinion, the electronic/operation portions do not align, nor measure up to, the design and build of the mechanical aspects of the scooter.It is my hope that a possible future software update or similar may address my concerns.Now, would I buy it again? Probably.
