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

very pleased with product

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!

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.

It ran fine until, without warning, it stopped dead. I had to bring his old mobility scooter to rescue him in our driveway & push it into our house. I am 72. He is 75 and can't walk.It wouldn't charge. It was completely dead, no lights, nothing. I read the manual very carefully, put it in drive position. Pushed the reset button and it's fine. It was fully charged. He must have hit the button accidently with his feet. Thank goodness. He is so happy that it's working.

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.

My wife has MS. She is nonambulatory and uses the unit all day every day so it gets a significant amount of use. This is the 4th Pride scooter we've purchased in the last 16 years.These units are well built, are relatively easy to disassemble and transport and reliable.However, I'm disappointed with the latest incarnation of the "Elite Traveler". I find they have changed the electronics which control the acceleration of the unit. Because it now accelerates too quickly, it has become more difficult to turn when in tighter quarters. I'll note this is not just an issue of setting the speed too high.I highly recommend that the engineers at Pride re-evaluate the performance and safety of this unit since I anticipate it's modified performance will result in a much higher rate of user accidents.I welcome the opportunity to discuss this matter with Pride Engineers.
