Battery powered scooters
Does any one have any experience with battery powered 3 wheel scooters? If so which brand should I avoid? I am looking for something with a seat.....

Recently I attended an annual *gigantic* car show - over two thousand vehicles entered - at a Fair Grounds. LOTS of ground to cover!
Thinking it would be great to ride a bike (not allowed) or rent a golf cart (expensive) - or rent a mobility scooter (cheaper).
(Rentals were available -OR- bring your own!)
No sooner did that cross my mind than a guy zipped around a corner on a very cool looking aluminum framed 3-wheel scooter.
He was having fun - and fit right in with street rods, etc.!
Had to ask - it was a - "TravelScoot".
Pricey - but *VERY* cool.
No doubt about the mfgr's claim to being the lightest and most compact!
And, yeah - (did I say) it looked like fun?..:W
Owner claimed great service from the USA dealer in the state of Washington.
On the way out to the parking lot, came across a guy on a scooter, who was about to load it *into* the back of an SUV.
He said he had bad ankle edema and the scooter solved the problem.
Since he and his wife were apparently about to put it *into* the back of the SUV - I asked about loading.
He said it came apart into 3 parts, and his wife could lift and load it (in sections) by herself if necessary.
*ANY* major metro area has many, many dealers with lots of brands and choices (price ranges) - usually with models available for a "test drive".
Google - "Mobility Scooters"
Then there's also electric trikes that will seat two side-by-side.
Why not? - (Won't be walking the show next year!)..;)
