My husband yipped and yowled, kvetched, complained and generally had himself a rather large hissy fit when I told him that I had bought him a scooter. Said 'cancel it, send it back, I don't want it.' Needless to say, I did not cancel the order and/or send it back. My husband had an awful time with walking any distance. Anything longer than maybe 100 feet and he has to stop and rest - inside and outside. He winces in pain because he has an old hip injury from a car accident about 50 years ago. I see him struggle mightily to keep up and save face. He needed this scooter - it is not a luxury item! It cam earlier this week (all put together) and almost instantly he LOVED it!!! Buzzed around the house, crashed into the couch a couple of times, scared the poor cats out of their wits -- but he got the gist of how to operate it and he is a very, VERY happy man!!!! This is without a doubt, the smartest thing I've ever gotten for him and it was an excellent value!!! Silent, rapid response on acceleration, braking, turning, light, horn. This is quite the vehicle!!! It has GREAT ground clearance, a nice wide 20" seat (I got the wider seat for his comfort - the 17" seat would have been too narrow ) and a nice long 15 mile battery @ 4 miles per hour -- which is fast enough for my 'Mario Andretti'!!!!! Oh, we're gonna go places now! No more staying home because he can't walk!!!!! Thanks for this terrific scooter! Drive is probably the best name in assistive equipmemt - I have had a Drive rollator for over 5 years (still beautiful) and love it, too!!!

I bought this after months of seeing my once very active father struggle with walking. He absolutely loves it! He is no longer stuck in an immobile chair. It was super easy for him to use. I bought it for when he travels as our family loves outdoor activities. He can now keep up with his great grandchildren, follow us on walks, and safely drive on his own.
Pros:It has good ground clearance for a slightly rugged path such as light gravel but I wouldn't recommend anything too rugged. It's best to use on firm packed ground if not using on a paved area. The speed goes up to a slight jog for myself and slows enough to easily navigate in a light crowd. It turns corners safely and easily. It is light enough when disassembled to pack into the trunk. It even fits in the trunk of my Toyota Corolla. It's very easy to assemble.
Cons:Although it's a good size for my 5'7 father, it may be a little small for someone much taller. However, that would take away from the convenience of a lighter more compact scooter and it would be harder to make turns. I adjusted the seat higher and when my dad wants to stretch his legs he can rest them above the covered front tires that has protection for just that purpose. So, there is really nothing that we don't like about this scooter.
Overall: Yes, I would recommend this product.
