Electric Motorized Scooters

[Guest guest]

Just signed on to your chat room today although I was diagnosed

with this lousey disease back in the 70's......talk about slow

progression !!!!

My interest is in those of you who own, or are in the market for

motorized scooters. I presently have AFO's on both legs, use

canadian crutches and/or a 4-wheel walker most of the time. I've been

inquiring about scooters, but find very few specific comparisons from

the brochures and advertisments put out by the manufacturers. I also

wrote to Consumer Report Magazine to see if they would be interested

in doing one of their comparison studies but no luck.....they say

that the market is just not big enough to warrant a study on this

type of equipment. I find that hard to believe. My prime concern for

obtaining a scooter such as this is two-fold; (1) to have a means to

transport myself and all my garden tools around the yard without

having to make 10 trips with my walker, and (2) to be able to

accompany my wife in her daily walks as she had by-pass surgery and

needs the excercise.

Any suggestions on what's the best make would be greatly

appreciated.

Looking forward to hearing about how all you other PLSers are

managing your every day lives.
