Rated 5 out of 5Â by GoMomma Just wore it out after 7 years
I got this scooter in 2006 for my mom who is 185# and 4'11. She has every diagnosis known to man and can not walk outside for more than 15 feet. We bought this scooter because of the breakdown and the weight of the pieces because I would be the one lifting it. It has been on at least 20 airplane trips, in 2 countries, to at least 35 casinos across the USA, went to countless flea markets, uncountable Walmart and mall trips, weekend festivals and even sported about the yard so she could supervise the gardening. All this travel and the only cost I had for it was one replacement battery ($96.00). We just returned from Laughlin, Nevada where we did a whirlwind 4 days but this would be the machines last journey. During the second day it just stopped. We found a service store in Bullhead City, AZ called Unkl Als who fixed it in less than an hour and at a cost of $45. It was the control switch in the handle. The guy who fixed it said it was just worn out and that we needed to look at replacing it sometime soon but it may last another couple of years. Since we are going to Alaska next we decided to retire this one and buy another one, thus my reason for being here today. Bottom line, if you want value, quality, dependability, and freedom, this is your ticket. All those comments here I read about hills and such, all I can say it has never been an issue for us. We have been everywhere and as long as it paved, or good grass you can go. You can not go on the rock parking lots. In 7 years she has turned it over one time, and she did it because she cut a curve too short and took out the corner of a wall. She tipped but was fine. I would not be buying this one again if it was not something I trusted and hope to get another 7 years out of this one.

I love this scooter. I have stage four COPD. I have been so depressed because I can not get around my own house in so long. Just moving from one room to another causes such breathlessness that I have had to give up on some housekeeping chores that I just don't have the breath to do. Now I can do them. I can get things done no matter how many trips it takes me to go from room to room. And now I can finally go shopping and fishing with my husband again. The scooter has plenty of power for me and is small and sooo easy to maneuver. I just love it. Thank you for giving me some of my life back!

Rated 1 out of 5Â by travel not good for travel
no key, so there no way to lock it up if you get off.
Not good for even small hills.
Can not be run in the rain or around water.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by patricia Echo mobility scooter
Scooter was extremely well packaged (even the UPS employee that delivered it was impressed) The scooter was very easy to assemble and appears to be well made. After reading the instructions on charging the battery for 12 hours, we installed it and away I went. The scooter is simple to operate even in tight crowded aisles--Its concise size is a plus and has added a new dimension of mobility to my life. It's definitely a winner; we're very pleased with it.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Ally Echo Mobility Scooter has changed my outlook
I have diabetic neuropathy that has spread above my ankles. Walking had become very difficult and I was not able to do of the normal things I had enjoyed. I had to hope the stores that offer "mobility chairs" would have one available and charged.
I now own my very own scooter. It is clean and charged whenever I want it. I have been to a Christmas Bizarre and outting with my family.
My one con to this purchase is the weight of the base. I cannot lift it myself and I have to have a very strong friend or my husband with me in order to use it. I will probably have to purchase a traler hitch drive on attachment for me to experience true freedom.
