Would definitely buy again. It charges good easy to put in our vehicle seats come off and the battery which makes it lighter weight to load. It steers and cuts corners really well while shopping. We really like this scooter.
Our son was the muscle to lift it out of the box, after that , it was so simple I could do it. After that it was like a simple puzzle. Just put the pieces together. He was at 250lbs was the 1st to ride on it. Oh, I forgot to tell you hes a bit over 6 ft 5inches. Still moved along. Then I drove it down our long driveway into the street where I turned around and headed for the driveway. Of course I was slow as I came to the curb, but once I got the front wheels up over the curb, I added throttle and surprise, the front raised up and the wheelee bars kicked in where I immediately reduced power. FUN for an 86 year old man. FUN FUN FUN!!!
I purchased this scooter after an injury revealed some more serious issues. It arrived 5 days earlier than stated and I opened the box and put it together all by myself in about 30 minutes. After charging the suggested 12 hours, I started it up / super zippy. The turning radius pretty mediocre / but not impossible. Just dont plan to turn on a dime. I am 57 and Im ok with the legroom / but if you are any taller or have long legs / you may not be comfortable. Theres no extra legroom at all. I wanted to be able to break down and load in the back of my 2021 Lexus RX 450h. I removed the scooter seat and the battery, loosened the steering stick and folded in down. Then I lifted the front up (there is a super handy handle) and then back end and I was able to load it with plenty of room in the back. I did take the basket off but I can see I dont have to that to lower the steering stick / folded down. It weighs nothing. The battery is REALLY heavy. But I can lift it. The battery can be charged even after its removed / so thats nice. I dont want to unload the scooter more than I need to / but it can be done. It runs best on flat, even ground / or basically an inside scooter. Easily goes through most doorways. I like the silver color (its shiny but not really metallic) / I wish they made gold to match my car. I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful.
After 30 months and over 300 miles, I have really got my moneys worth. I am 300 lbs and 63 so I would have liked it to have a higher seat or more leg room but I drive it several times a day to and from the office of the apartments and on 2 long walks with my dog The drive is over a very bumpy sidewalk and sometimes grass and then up a 2 concrete step. I usually charge it twice a week. The rough ride has caused some rattles, squeaks, and the floor has broken loose from the frame, but it still gets me where I want to go.
We were not able to use the scooter, my dads legs were too long. The quality of the product was excellent. The company was quick and responsive to assist in the return. I would not hesitate to order from this company.
Put it together, used in once, and the control module went out. I had the home repair warranty and they came and repaired. If I didnt have this type of warranty I would have had to take it 50 miles to Dallas to get it repaired.
Had it 6 months and it still works good, but not for use on thick/deep grass
I love my scooter HOWEVER Ive run into problems several times thru the years attempting to troubleshoot the problems the DRIVE COMPANY DOES NOT ACCEPT PHONE CALLS FROM CONSUMER ONLY FROM COMPANIES THE MANUAL IHAS VERY LIMITED INFO I AS A CONSUMER HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS so run into problem THEIR IS NO CUSTOMER SERVICE THRU THE DRIVE COMPANY TO ASSIST YOU A NORMAL COMPANY/MANUFACTURER HAS CUSTOMER SERVICE THIS IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM
Had a problem with the original charger when we purchased the scooter , popped and started smoking right away .When I called to tell them , they replaced it without any problems . very nice people to talk to . Sent the new charger out right away and I returned the old one to them . First time I plugged it into the scooter to charge the battery , it only took about 1 hour to charge because it wasnt very low . When I unplugged it , the charger was very hot to the touch . I cant imagine how hot it would get if you let it charge all night .
We bought this for a 91 year old woman and i will NEVER let her charge it overnight ! She is able to get around the apartment building and enjoy the activities on the scooter now . I will make sure it stays charged for her .
Overall we are glad she has it , but very leery about the charger .

Well worth the 800.

Scooter for Dad
We were not able to use the scooter, my dads legs were too long. The quality of the product was excellent. The company was quick and responsive to assist in the return. I would not hesitate to order from this company.
My first Mobility scoter did a great job,battery last longer than I thought the would.
Good for my first scoter.It could have bin a little bigger in feet area!
Scout is good, but buy home repair warranty
Put it together, used in once, and the control module went out. I had the home repair warranty and they came and repaired. If I didnt have this type of warranty I would have had to take it 50 miles to Dallas to get it repaired. Had it 6 months and it still works good, but not for use on thick/deep grass
Best investment ever!!
So easy to put together and use.
Drive Company offer no info nor help for problems after purchase and usage
