EARTH SURVIVED
AN I DIDN'T KNOW IT WOULD BE SO MUCH FUN

Just dug my crash helmet and leathers out of the cupboard. ;-) :-D :-D :-D.

I agree Shirley that some parts were a bit heavy,but my OH was a big chap and he liked it so we managed.It was also a four wheel one as thought that was safer.

We took it to the Eden Project and the battery lasted for 6 hour trip around...
Good job we had daughter and s.i.l with us as had to push him up the hill to the car parks when going...do make sure you keep battery charged!

Go DIZZY!

Oh have speed will travel.


Dizzy,,,,,,,,just a tip,you can buy velcro straps that go onto the handles that your hands slip in to so that you have better control,,,,mobility shops sell them....

Hubby bought one 18 months ago . It does come apart but I found some of the parts too heavy for me to pick up into the car boot .He only used it around the houses locally so got limited use.

I saw someone with a smaller scooter at our local shopping mall and asked about it

Result is we bought a smaller one that I can manage and it's been a big success . He has only had it 6 weeks but we have had several hospital appointments in that time and he has used it to get around the hospital to the clinics which he would never have managed walking

I keep the new one in the car boot permanently ,just take the chair out of the car as this doesn't fit in the boot and has to go on the back seat when he wants to use the scooter

He does get a bit confused when trying to reverse etc but folks are very kind and wait for him . I tell em he still has his L plates on. Lol

We have to try and sell the other one now as its lounging in the garage

Enjoy the freedom it will give you Dizzy :-D

When our daughter is out with her mother in law in her mobility scooter I get e mails like 'just how can you lose a 90 year old woman in a mobility scooter???

Well done Dizzi, enjoy the freedom.

:-S looks around. I'M SAFE I LIVE IN A DIFFERENT COUNTRY. Phew

Enjoy yourself Dizzi, go out whenever you can, You'll soon get the hang of it and will be off to the shops. :-D <3

Good for you.My Oh had one that came apart and went in the boot.
When we went shopping he used to whizz off and I' d lose him!
It will give you a new lease of life!......enjoy!,
