I will need one of these in the future. I have spent hours watching demonstrations and this is the one I will buy. I am impressed how easy it is to maintain and repair. I like the fact that the cables are exposed so if there is a cable issue it can be seen. The first thing I was looking for was a light scooter. The second thing was the quality of the build. My only concern is the breaking system.
It depends. Does the person with one leg have a prosthetic? If not, where is the cutoff point? Everybody is different. I would think the swivel method to be the best though.
The amputation is on the left s j.g de above knee. We generally use the swivel method, short leg first. Just wondering if you might of had a different idea
Hi Tommie, thanks for your interest in TravelScoot. Virtually none of the ultralight folding mobility scooters feature anti-tipping wheels. They all require situational awareness on inclines. The TravelScoot has a built-in throttle-response delay to avoid backward tipping. Also, we offer baskets for purchase at a reasonable cost (not every customer wants a basket). The TravelScoot comes standard with our caddy pouch (attached to the frame to carry items), which carries as much as our basket. We have customers in all age groups, from 6 to 96. It all depends on the individual's needs and abilities. Please feel free to call us at 800 342-2214 if you have any questions.
At the time of this video, $2,655, free shipping and handling, and no sales tax outside the state of Washington. We can only ship to the contiguous US.
@唯唯在香港 This product is not available in China. It is manufactured in Taiwan, and incorporates several design and construction features that do not lend themselves to mass-production. There are several look-alike products available, but none are as light, compact or strong as the TravelScoot.
Looks like there no arm rest, no flat foot plate, no place to hold and secure heavy needed items, mostly metal bars, people who are disable don't used a scooter just to ride around up and down and in circle on a flat surface specially in a city. There are too much hand adjustment to be done for someone who can't reach around or bend over this is only for someone who can stand up very well and stable on their feet with strong back, arms, and hands that have good hand and fingers movement. Why they always have regular health men demonstrating wheelchair for the disable.
Hi Carol, thanks for your interest in our scooter. First of all, the TravelScoot is a wheelchair. That is the single most important distinction when shopping for mobility devices. The TravelScoot is designed for people who have discomfort and/or fatigue-related walking difficulty but who are otherwise mobile, and need the absolutely lightest, strongest and most portable scooter. Yes, some hand dexterity is required, as would be the case with anything that folds up. Mobility challenges vary greatly, and can be as simple as someone just recovering from foot surgery, or as complex as MS, post-polio etc. Our video just demonstrates some very basic techniques and precautions about getting on and off, and is not meant to be a performance demo. We don’t have arm rests, but do have flat foot plates and a wide range of accessories to carry loads. Please visit www.travelscootusa.com/gallery and travelscootusa.com/accessories-1, and feel free to call us at 800 342-2214 if you have any questions.

What is the best way for a person with one leg to get off and on
It depends. Does the person with one leg have a prosthetic? If not, where is the cutoff point? Everybody is different. I would think the swivel method to be the best though.

For $2,600 no back "tipping wheels" or basket? I love it but it's too dangerous on hills! I'm 83.

@@tonykorn1356 Hi Carol, correction: The first sentence should read:

@@tonykorn1356 Thank for the reply. Sound like it won't be useful for our needs.
