I got this scooter 3 years and 10 days ago. Its been in the trunk of whatever car Im driving since. Ive had the Lincoln MKZ for two years this week and would not leave the city limits without it. Its better than a lifeboat and a lot easier to love: there is very little maintenance. About a month ago I got crunched in the MKZ, took out the whole right front quarter. I drove to the collision repair shop and parked the car, opened the trunk and got my scooter out, told the shop boss to call me when the car was ready and headed home. The trail was only about 5 miles and rough in places, but the traffic was okay and the trip seemed short. I wouldnt trade my scooter for any other. The rest of my review that follows was written about two years ago and still stands today.
Easy assembly and can be easily disassembled to take it anywhere. I hauled it in a Town Car for about a year, recently changed to a MKZ. Theres more room in the MKZ. We took it to Oregon last year, rode it over paved trails. The battery lasted as long as I needed it. I am very happy with it and not buying the three wheel version makes me even more happy with it, as there were times I believe the three wheel version would have dumped me. I especially like the double speed controls, as im able to smoothly travel very slow or turn the limiting knob and move along faster than my wife can walk if I dare. Especially great for shopping or visiting the VA. Both places have scooters for customers but more customers than scooters. Im 83, and yes its a little heavy, but I have no trouble loading/unloading it. Im able to walk only very short distances before the pain sets in, so I appreciate the mobility without having to haul it on a trailer.
STARTING MY 4TH YEAR/Still going strong!
