Once in a lifetime!

I forgot to mention this scooter has a rear suspension (springs).

It is so that the scooter will not flip backwards if you try going up an incline.

The seat post height is adjustable. I have it on the highest setting for me. The battery does 10 miles. Plenty of distance for the average person. I took my old scooter all over the National Mall in Washington DC and hit up all the museums. No problem. It had a similar size battery. Metro Mobility sells replacement batteries for $180.

@@RussIsRight Thank you Russ!!!

I don’t know. It is best to contact Metro Mobility and ask.

The heaviest piece (the floorboard and drive train) is 61 lbs. I actually rented a scooter at Disney World. When I got home, that's when I decided I would buy a scooter for use for my photography field trips with my students.

I really need one of these for my mom but I'd have to be able to lift it in and out of the trunk, did you end up getting one and is it hard to get in and out of the trunk?

They are rubber tread. But does not need air.

It was tough. I actually fell outside in the Costco parking lot trying to get the scooter back in the trunk of my car. Nobody came to help. But a Costco employee saw me and came running over. But people around me did nothing. Nobody ever wants to get involved.

Here's the video I did about it. Talks about the situation: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nbSbbNeI37C6e6M.html

@@RussIsRight that is sad to hear. I worked at a grocery store for 3 years in college and have been that employee a couple times and will jump in now 20 years later as a result (might have before, definitely after). I’ve had people brusquely turn down help a couple times, but it still seems like defaulting to helping is the way to go. Thanks for the quick response, I will certainly take it as a reinforcement that jumping in is the appropriate course. Thanks for the video and the pleasant conversations in general.

I wondered about that too. :)

Been there before. No big deal.

You can’t. The position on this scooter is fixed as it is.

I don’t really know. I would suggest contacting the company.

@@RussIsRight Thanks Doll, I've been trying but they never answer the phone or reply to my emails..🤷

🙁

I have taken another brand of mobility scooter on planes in the past. The best way to know is calling the airlines to find out if this scooter is allowed on the plane. They really want to know about the battery. Dry cells are usually allowed but not lithium ion cells. These are not lithium ion. Call the company to ask as well before purchasing. Sealed lead acid batteries are allowed because my other scooter had that kind of battery. Airlines do not charge for you bringing a scooter on the flight. Just ride it up to the gate. The airline will take it at the door of the plane and bring it to the cargo area. Also, call the airlines’ handicap phone number before your flight to let them know in advance that you are bringing on a scooter.

@@RussIsRight Awesome thank you ❤️
