My husband got me a delux one, $5,000 worth. I used it 4 times, now it's parked in my spare utility room.

Actually, our insurance paid 100%. I cant walk around in stores, or for very long, I use at least 8 liters when I walk, but it was so heavy and hard to get in and out of our truck. He bought 2 ramps but it really needed a lift which we couldn't afford so, by the way, its up for sale...lol

Oh, he practically got you a car for that amount. I was thinking of far

less expensive and lighter. Why did you not use it? Too much trouble?

No need?

I mean as long as I can walk and sats stay up, I intend to, but there

just seems to come a time where it sure would provide more freedom.

I'm all for people using Scooters-Motorized chairs to get around before though they should have lessons on riding it because there has been a few times, I have been run over by one....NO apologies whatsoever from the person who's using it.

It struck me that I never hear them discussed here. Are any members

using them? To those who are further along and not using, is it a

matter of choice, of costs, or of not having a vehicle to haul them? It

just seems to me that at some point they would add to quality of life

so I was curious.

Oh Wal-mart is the worst. You can be standing there and they'll just

run right over you. I've been tempted (before IPF) to go get one and

then seek out the maniacs and play bumper cars with them. While I

have always yielded to those struggling or in chairs or any other

needs, I don't feel that being in an electric cart gives you

entitlement to ignore the safety of others. But its like they think

they're race car drivers or something sometimes.

I actually encountered on run right into the back of someone one

night. Then she perpetrator jumped on the lady for not getting out of

her way...with her back turned, where she had no idea the Maniac

Mauler was driving through.

What actually made me think more about it is that I may trade cars and

was thinking I should get something that could hold one or at least

carry a lift with it on it. Now, I was looking at smaller lighter and

less expensive potential scooters. You could pull a trailer behind

yours...lol.

Did find a pretty good site I think for pricing but don't know the

quality. Lifts and ramps from $350 to over $2000 though so makes you

wonder about the cheaper ones. Also, I imagine your chair must weigh

around 400 pounds if not more at that price.

My feeling about ramps was that when I reach the point I need the

scooter, I probably couldn't handle anything that wasn't completely

automatic. Of course by that point I might well not be driving either

so who knows.

i never use it, it stays parked in my utility room. It has 2 batteries with it so it runs forever. One day we did take a walk, well I was riding and that I did enjoy but I'm in an apt so its a lot harder to get around in it.

I live in 'Roundabout' City....because of our floods it costs too much to replace Traffic Lights every-time they go under floodwater.....so we have BIG, big, medium , little , teeny, tweensy-weensy sized 'R's' ALL over the place!

We love 'em ...great FUN to anticipate & the traffic flows really well...EXCEPT when visitors are in Town & they're terrified & get stuck waiting for a clear spot....

Our BIG ones have all sorts of Landscaping & sculptures set up on them...quite Arty Farty a lot of them!

The Council had to remove the one had had the Fake Waterfall & Rainforest eventually ..no one could SEEE what was coming! Looked fabby though!

Aaah life in the Aussie country-side...nuthin' quite like it!

...this is funny. lol. The differences in words. I was talking about a little "Round-A-Bout Scooter. I'm not even sure that's the correct name. Roundabouts mean something different to you. I like yours better but I'm sure I would be one to wonder what the hell? If I were driving there where you live.
