Excellent!

I am so happy with this scooter and I wish that more people would discover it and let it to improve their quality of life. I bought this for my 76 yo mom who has very limited mobility requiring a walker just to move around her house. She had a stroke and cannot walk far distances even with a walker. Maybe 2 blocks max with a lot of effort. USE IN SMALL SPACES - very nimble... the scooter can turn 360 degrees in place - small size... can easily maneuver in a normal sized hotel room. Fits through normal sized doors - can maneuverable through tight spaces... can take this chair into restaurants and roll right up to dining table - taken it through the Pike Place Market in Seattle which has tight spaces TRAVELING ON PLANES - much easier process than I imagined. We recently few Hawaiian Airlines and this was the process. The airline has the requirements online but basically it falls within size and battery guidelines. There is one form you need to fill out to bring to ticket counter. Ticket counter fills out another form for u to take on the plane and give to flight attendant. My mom was able to go through security on the scooter and she rode all the way to cabin door. We removed the battery and carried it on board. The scooter was checked at the door. And we picked up the scooter at the cabin door exit and she was able to ride out of the airport with it. - advice I got from the manufacture was that to inspect the scooter right at the cabin door in case there are damages during the flight and notify the airline right away, but we didn't experience any damages OTHER PLUSES - powerful: can go fast and up inclines - battery lasts a long time - battery can be charged at any outlet - sturdy - stylish - quiet - compact when folded - fits in a trunk of a camry and jeep wrangler - customer service reps are super duper knowledgeable and are very helpful YOU SHOULD BE AWARE - it's weight. 59 lbs total, 50ish with battery removed. I am able to lift it and place it in a trunk, but it would be too heavy for my mom

As someone whose used other brands of folding/travel electric wheelchairs for many years, I can say that this particular chair while it does have some cool features and some pros over other models it DOES NOT HANDLE AIRLINE TRAVEL WELL. I had my suspicions given the amount of plastic on this chair vs aluminum or other metals that the competitors chairs are primarily made of. If you don’t travel by air often (or at all) this is a great chair. However, if you’re like me and you use these folding chairs as your travel chair and you in fact travel by airplane, look at something else. I’ve traveled 2x a year for 6 years with my other chair and never had an issue with an airline damaging any part of my folding chair. I just returned from a non stop flight to Disney world (on my normal airline) and my chair was immediately damaged in multiple spots. There’s just too much plastic. Now I know not everyone will use this chair for travel so as an everyday use chair, let’s talk pros and cons and compare it to the competition (typical folding D09 electric wheelchair). PROS: comfortable seat, seat and arm rests allow for some customization, cool app, easy to fold and unfold, color options, smooth ride, low profile controller, one battery located in back vs. two in the frame of the chair, backpack hooks and it looks really cool and unique (bonus for younger users) CONS: arms don’t lift up, anti tip front wheel makes transfers difficult, motor sounds more noticeable compared with several other chairs I’ve used, folded size is slightly larger than competitors, no push bar or easy way to maneuver chair manually, much more difficult to access brake release levers than competitors chairs, the designated grab/lift areas (to pickup folded chair) are awkward! Most people will naturally attempt to lift from the armrests which is not recommended due to them being plastic and susceptible to breaking, the stated battery life is HIGHLY optimistic, and as already stated more fragile than competitors for airline travel.

I use it for my mobility inside the house and went i go to the hospital.
