SC40E, Elite Traveller, Red AND Blue Shroud Inserts, 3 Wheel, 12 Amp

I bought this 3-wheeled version because I have knee arthritis in both knees. This thing is awesome! Way better than my expectations. Just loaded it up in my CRV and took it to an extremely crowded Costco. Had to park....way way out from the entrance. Unloaded.. Assembled in about 2 min. Took off! Was in and out of Costco in no time! Super easy to maneuver in crowded store. Very comfortable seat. Really pleased with the purchase!Not sure how people tip this over. I was worried after reading some of the reviewers cautions but I have had zero issues. Also have a steep driveway to get up..worried for no reason about that... zipped up the driveway without an issue!

The media could not be loaded. This mobility scooter has liberated me! Its 3 main pieces areeasy to disassemble/assemble (i do need help with this). When shopping, I am not at the mercy of the store's electric cart supply. My family members do not have to wrangle a wheelchair across park and school terrain when I attend grandkids' activities and events. After using it all weekend at a Little League tournament ((sand, gravel uneven surfaces), i was amazed to discover when I went shoping yesterday that it was still fully-charged.

Love this scooter. Can get close to the toilet to transfer. Can go into doorways easily. This is our fifth one in our fifteen year ordeal. I’m a 69 years old woman and I take it apart and put it together for my husband. This one is an extra one to leave in the car and use it in our trips. Yeah. The seat even swivels to fit under restaurant tables. Life changing!!! It is not as stable as a four wheel but the four wheels are not maneuverable.

I must like this scooter - or maybe I just want interchangeable parts! Each time I have purchased one, there are minor variations, but I believe all the parts can be traded between versions as the main design is not changed. Each scooter lasts about 3 years of full-time indoor/outdoor heavy use including travel in car; with light indoor use they might last a lot longer. The batteries can be replaced at Batteries and Bulbs Plus for about $110, which needs to be done about once a year.The advantages of this scooter are that it is lightweight and disassembles into four parts (I leave the basket and arms off) which go into even a small (say, Honda Civic) car trunk. It has a tight turning radius, I use it in my home and have also used it getting into a small cubicle at the office. I can also get into my closets with this scooter.The disadvantages are that it is tippy. I have fallen with this scooter when rounding any corner at speed or any corner with a slope such as the edges of a curb cut. Curb cuts must be taken perfectly at right angles and in dead center or you are taking a chance.The most recent iterations of the scooter changed the tiller operation. Instead of pushing a lever down to go forward as in older versions, you pull or squeeze a lever to go forward (assuming right hand operation). Because the operation of the lever is different, I believe there are more high-speed collisions into walls, furniture, pets or people - it appears to be counterintuitive to "let go" of the grip. Instead of straight handle bars there is a "delta" configuration which I find unhelpful, as anything that takes up space increases the number of dings in my wallboard. Another minor change with this year's model is that the cylinder that the seat mounts onto now has a variable height. I like the additional height because it was hard for my long legs to get on/off before, and I can do more chores at the greater height. The downside of that is that your center of gravity is higher, exacerbating the fall hazards of the ever-tippy unit.In short, it's still a good little scooter if you remember to take care cornering. There appear to be many more models of small scooter on the market today and you might prefer a different one. If avoiding falls is important consider a 4 wheel variety, but it won't navigate tiny spaces as readily.

Best purchase ever gave my husband mobility

On first day of possession, unit suddenly and intermittently stopped-dead with complete loss of power, but recovered miraculously for no apparent reason. Seller indicated fault was common, and most likely due to improperly placed battery pack. No, battery was firmly placed on unit, and fully charged. These episodes continued for two weeks, until finally; unit just stopped-dead and never recovered. Somehow I never envisioned myself pushing a mobility device. Pride once designed and manufactured quality products, this one is different; clearly cost-cutting measures or out-sourced assembly. Seller actually suggested I ship unit back for repairs (apparently at my cost). Thankfully unit purchased under Amazon Prime (note seller has since removed Prime status from listing). Serious waste of time and effort repackaging unit for return. And no mobility device for my condition.Another aspect to consider is three wheel design. During use on small lateral-grades; unit is highly prone to tip sideways. Tipping occurs suddenly, without warning, and is very dangerous. Three wheeled vehicles were attempted in automotive industry many years ago; and abandoned due to instability hazard. Why would Pride repeat this same mistake, and on mobility devices intended for disabled; who share highest risk of injury due to tipping. Tipping is especially likely during tight-radius turn (which is advertised as feature). If missing lower limb; you would fall sideways, flat on your face. Seriously stupid design philosophy.
