SuperHandy Passport Mobility Scooter for Adults- Foldable, 3 Wheel, Airline Travel Friendly - 13 Mile Range, Includes 2 Removable 44.4V Lithium-ion Batteries & Charger (275 Lbs)

Had my doubts with this scooter. With my 5'9" 260 lbs frame I figured on getting 2-3 hours of battery life on convention floors with variable thickness of carpeting and limited hard floor use. Well, it proved me wrong with 4.5 to 5.5 hours before battery change with constant stop and start and faster acceleration when needed for evasive maneuvering or trying to catch open doors held open by observant kind individuals. Got lots of comments for it's agility and speed moving through tight areas. Got lots of "that's speedy!" and jealous looks from the rental fleet users that had big slow cumbersome machines. This is tiny but mighty! It's a single drive motor on one back wheel but it was competent. It slows down considerably up ramps but chugs along smoothly. It can surge at full throttle slightly as it is conservative in its power band and may not hold full speed for more than a few seconds depending on where the battery level is at. It does not have an engine brake so hands on the brake grip is essential going down hills and in heavy walking traffic because it will cruise into someone if you're not diligent and observant. Good brake lock for hills when your need to park it. The brake is a bit rough and squeaky but does well...just dont grab a big handful of brake and expect it to stop on a dime and be exceptionally careful going down hill. No front or back light so wearing a headlight or a bicycle back light or clamp on light might be needed. The basket for the front is OK...bounces a little and hooks tends to rest onthe side of the bell making it difficult to use but it held an extra battery, a couple water bottles, purse and extra stuff. My husband and I were impressed immensely and it made a long walking trip at a convention much more tolerable and comfortable. The standard seat is comfortable enough and we did buy the upgrade seat but with the extra weight, we figured we would visit that option later. Cons is the tippyness is evident on tight fast acceleration turns but getting your feet to floor off the flippable pegs is easy enough with no hinderance like big scooters with big floor boards. I would not recommend for those with balance issues and require more stability as this could be too light and tippy at fast speeds and you do need some quicker reaction time to get you feet down to steady it if it happens. It isn't zero turn but it's turn is within a 5-6 foot radius But, for a lot of individuals who need an inexpensive way to get around after an injury or with disabilities that don't require more protection, and need it to fit inside a smaller car, you can't beat this! Ours fit with the handlebars down and seat back folded down in a Bronco sport without putting seat backs down so you maintain passenger capacity but impacts the storage a little. We managed 2 big duffels, 2 carry on suitcases in the second seat and about 5 extra bags with 2 people in a small SUV and didn't fold the scooter. Buy a second battery or a third and you have +/- 15 hours of convention use and peace of mind. Love this little machine!

This scooter was a Godsend. My parents passed 15 days apart, and in the final 3 weeks my Dad used this scooter when we would visit my Mom daily in the hospital, run errands, or just get outside. It allowed him to have what independence he could and his dignity. I cannot tell you how many medical personnel complimented it. Additionally, I was recovering from back surgery, and as I was the one loading the equipment, this was so much easier than a wheelchair or even a transport wheelchair. While a transport wheelchair is light, pushing my Dad took a toll on my back. I have recommended this scooter to everyone I know. After my parents’ passed, my aunt had knee replacement surgery. I gave it to her so she could get around the casinos and do fun things with her grandkids. Plus, she has a very tight hallway and turns—this worked on all of them.

Recently diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and Chronic Fatigue, I was looking for something to help with mobility due to my very low stamina. This scooter is an excellent solution!PROS- Weight! This is the lightest mobility scooter by far. I am able to take off the chair and lift the rest of it by myself into my Honda CR-V trunk with about a minute of strenuous lifting. Getting it down is ok due to gravity.- Quiet! You can barely hear it while it’s moving and it doesn’t have the annoying beeping while backing up.- Turn Radius! I’ve gotten myself around some pretty narrow corners. You can also just lift it and try again if you need to adjust the angle. It is wobblier than a regular scooter if you go too fast. So I’d only recommend it for people with good balance. I have been fine so far, but I can understand why other reviews talk about tipping over.- Design! It is sleeker than the standard mobility scooters. People aren’t as surprised when I start standing up and walking around. The seat is comfortable to sit in, although it would be nice to have armrests.- Batteries! To charge it, the 2.5 lb batteries can be taken off the scooter in 2 sec. I don’t need to bring the scooter out of my car to charge it— just the batteries.- Accessories! I was able to add the Accmor Universal Cup Holder to hold my phone or a drink while steering. The bag that comes with it is helpful for holding my purse or a bike lock.- Traveling! I just took it on a plane for the first time. Worked really well! I rode it all the way down the gangway, where they check it like the strollers [see pics]. I took the two lithium batteries with me on the plane. They brought it back up when we landed. I flew Southwest but be sure to check with your airline for their rules.CONS- Security. Because it turns on with a push button, there is no good way to secure it. I wish it had a key. Plus, bc it is so light, it is easier to steal. I recommend using a bicycle lock and cable AND taking the batteries with you if you leave it.- Weight. It would still be pretty difficult to lift for someone with more serious fatigue or less strength.- Length. I’m 5’4” and I need to lean a bit forward to reach the handles. My back does not touch the seatback while driving. The distance between the seat and handles is not adjustable. However the handle height and seat height are.- Marketing. Super Handy is written in large, bright orange letters on the bag, steering column, and chair. So it’s the first and last thing people see as you are coming and going. I flipped the bag around, and my cane stool covers it when I hang it off the seatback using Crutch-eze cane holders or a bungee cord.THINGS TO BE AWARE OF- Assembly time. It takes me a good five minutes to re-assemble it bc I adjust it back to the right height and line up the steering column. In parking lots, I’m always a little worried that someone backing up might not see me since I’m lower to the ground. I sometimes re-assemble it on the side of my car instead, if there is enough room.- Brakes. There is a handlebar brake like those on bikes that can be clicked to stay in place. The scooter won’t move while it’s engaged. However, on slight inclines, it is not enough to prevent the scooter from rolling downhill. It may be something that just needs to be adjusted to correct that, but even so, it’s not a deal brake-er. #sorrynotsorryOverall, I am so glad I got this scooter. It’s given me back some independence and the ability to keep working, now that I can get around again by myself.
