We love purchasing on Amazon, because the reviews let us know what will meet our needs and work for us. Here is another case in point. We have looked at locally available mobility scooters, and there are many places to purchase scooters here where we live in South Florida. However, this Drive Medical scooter is half the price of the other major brand, and Drive Medical makes high quality, well-made scooters. The Amazon reviews convinced us to go ahead and buy it. My husband wanted a scooter so he could ride down to the shopping mall, which is about half a mile from our home, and the public library is about a mile away. There are sidewalks the whole way. At the highest speed, he is content. The steering is supposed to be less tight on a 4-wheel scooter versus a 3-wheel, but we wouldn't need more. The seat is very comfortable, and my husband is heavier. The weight limit is 300 lbs. The basket is larger than other scooters that we looked at. The leg room is ample, even though it looks small, it's really great. We kept the red accents, but it comes with a package of blue accents if you prefer that color. We left the garage door open, and the delivery truck put the scooter into the center of the garage. Assembly was easy. The directions and Owner's Manual are very well written and easy to understand. You can download the manual to save it electronically (click on the link "Warranty" above the description on Amazon, and you will get the latest Owner's Manual version.) So I went to Drive Medical online and tried to register the scooter for the warranty. The problem was that there are several numbers on the stickers on the scooter, and I couldn't tell which number was the actual serial number. Clue: the serial number is 12 digits long, it starts with a number, and the second digit is a letter. So, I called Customer Service. The people were very polite and answered right away. They said that I didn't need to worry; that Amazon automatically registered the Drive Medical scooter for us at the time of purchase. I asked them to explain the warranty, and they did. The scooter came partially charged, so my husband was able to take a short drive right away. OK, so then we charged it overnight, and my husband took it for a ride. It's supposed to go at least 9 miles, but it ran out of battery charge at .4 mile (I measured the distance with the car). We tried charging it for another 24 hours, and the same thing happened - it ran out of battery charge at under 1/2 mile. So I called Customer Service, explained what was happening, what the display lights looked like, etc., and they said they would take care of it. Two days later we received a new charging cord. I called Customer Service, and said, I thought we were supposed to be getting a new battery, and they said, just try it. We charged the scooter overnight with the new charger, and it works fine. I highly recommend this mobility scooter. It is easy to take apart and put in the back of our car, I can do it by myself, and I’m 65. It is silent when running. It is very comfortable. Really great. You can't beat this price. The Customer Service is wonderful and responsive.

I got this scooter 3 years and 10 days ago. It’s been in the trunk of whatever car I’m driving since. I’ve had the Lincoln MKZ for two years this week and would not leave the city limits without it. It’s better than a lifeboat and a lot easier to love: there is very little maintenance. About a month ago I got crunched in the MKZ, took out the whole right front quarter. I drove to the collision repair shop and parked the car, opened the trunk and got my scooter out, told the shop boss to call me when the car was ready and headed home. The trail was only about 5 miles and rough in places, but the traffic was okay and the trip seemed short. I wouldn’t trade my scooter for any other. The rest of my review that follows was written about two years ago and still stands today. Easy assembly and can be easily disassembled to take it anywhere. I hauled it in a Town Car for about a year, recently changed to a MKZ. There’s more room in the MKZ. We took it to Oregon last year, rode it over paved trails. The battery lasted as long as I needed it. I am very happy with it and not buying the three wheel version makes me even more happy with it, as there were times I believe the three wheel version would have dumped me. I especially like the double speed controls, as i’m able to smoothly travel very slow or turn the limiting knob and move along faster than my wife can walk if I dare. Especially great for shopping or visiting the VA. Both places have scooters for customers but more customers than scooters. I’m 83, and yes it’s a little heavy, but I have no trouble loading/unloading it. I’m able to walk only very short distances before the pain sets in, so I appreciate the mobility without having to haul it on a trailer.

I purchased this as a bid for freedom outside the home. I wanted something dependable, motorized, and transportable. I did a lot of research, and found this appeared to fit my needs best for the price. Amazon had the best price I could find at $624 (with shipping cost figured in), and I received the interchangeable blue parts included with the deluxe version to boot! I am very glad I got this! I am able to use this to get out and work in the garden, visit a friend, or go to the local businesses. It is an indescribable joy to be able to leave the house and get around town. The farthest trip I have taken totaled about three miles (with many inclines and declines), and the scooter was definitely slowing down by the end. In a flat land without ramps, little hills, or grass it would probably last longer without slowing down. As with my motorized wheelchair (also made by Pride), I have to be careful about inclement weather and get stuck easily. I do fine on my flat lawn, though can get high-centered on the thick grass at the park. From my own experience, as with other mobility equipment, just be careful and don't go somewhere that looks like you might get stuck unless you have someone to pull you out. And mount an umbrella onto your scooter, or at least bring one with just in case it rains. A little rain has not caused any issues for me yet, I tend to forget my umbrella if it is not attached. I have read reviews across the web about improvements for one's needs that can be made to this particular scooter, including larger wheels for rougher terrain and larger batteries for longer trips. Some can be purchased on Amazon, such as cup holders and mounts for various devices. I myself have a safety flag mounted on the back for better visibility, and envision more custom-ability of this spiffy set of wheels. Happy adventuring to all you beautiful riders!

After researching a lot for a scooter that was reasonably price, and easy to load into my car, I ordered the Drive Medical Scout 4 wheel from Amazon and got it in 2 days. Unfortunate the scooter had to be returned since the front and back end could not be taken apart. Amazon sent a replacement right away and this one was OK. For the price this scooter works fine, but you have to be careful where you use it due to a 2" ground clearance. DO NOT use it in the grass or a terrain with bumps. It is very light and can be taken apart and load in almost any vehicle. Taking the front and back end apart is very easy but putting them back together takes a little practice, but it works fine. The batteries (2) are inside a box and is very easy to remove and put back. I own an old Rascal model 235 three wheel scooter that I use mainly around my yard and patio, and I am able to make complete turns in a very little space which the 4 wheel scout scooter can't do. The front wheels on the scout only move about 45 degrees compare to 90 degrees on my old 3 wheel Rascal, but my old Rascal cost almost $3000.00 versus this one at less than $700 delivered to your door and with the excellent warranty that Amazon gives to all their products. This scooter comes with 14 month parts ans labor warranty from Drive Medical. All things considered the scooter is great for around the house (with limited ground clearance and turning ratio) and specially great for traveling or going to a mall or large store since it is very easy to load into your car.

We got the item in five days from Amazon Prime and it was delivered at the day they said (2:30 PM Friday). So far so good, Amazon did their part. Unpacking a heavy box was easy with little mess Styrofoam pieces with magnetic properties. The unit looks great was packed well went together without a problem. Connected the charging cord to the battery on the machine: got a red charging indication on the charger. All steps are as the company says. Got a green light on the charger indicating a full charge only five hours into the 8-12 hours told about in the owners manual. Turned on the key and no charge was indicated on the control panel. I then connected the battery to another outlet detached from the scooter, and allowed it to charge over night. The total charge time was by now 17 hours, 12 of those with a green light on the charger. I put the battery back in the scooter and still no electrical indication of any kind on the control panel i.e. horn or battery indicator. I took the battery off the machine and tested it with a electrical multitester, the battery is completely dead. I called technical support "Technical Support/Peace of Mind (866) 621 4933 8:30 am - 5:00 pm (EST). I waited on hold for thirty minutes as the recorded message said someone would be right with me. Finally in desperation I called Customer Service (866) 694-5085 8:30 am - 8:00 pm and got "no messages may be taken for this mail box.. Good by. and a hang up. As I say the machine looks well made, assembled easily, there web site needs updating as it should show they don't work weekends. My opinion because that is what this forum is about is: The product looks well made, the customer support is poor. We got this machine for my wife, and an upcoming trip to Disneyland and other SoCal POIs. I hope the company will ship a new charged battery on Monday as the timing is critical for the trip. If we are successful by getting to use the scooter In Disneyland I will post a "how long the batteries last" comment to this post. Update 11/20/15 After talking to tech support and customer care (both of which were very polite and helpful and concerned) I received a new battery in three days (shipped from NY to NV) excellent customer support. I am changing my "stars from 3 to 5. As I feel if the machine quit working in Disneyland they would probably get me "road service". Their website just needs to be updated to say they only work weekdays. If you are looking to purchase this unit, Here are some comments I could not find in the description. There is a "receiver" under the seat facing to the rear 4" long with a screw knob tightener that will accept a 1"x1" accessory post i.e. basket, or trailer. I gambled and got a basket a basket that fits.

My wife has Parkinson's and shopping has become too much for her with her walker. She resisted the "Power Shopping Carts". Finally figured out that a product like this is what she needs. Since getting this scooter, she get's out at least once a week to go grocery shopping, Walmart, etc. We park in a handicap spot, I assemble the scooter, help her get on and we are off. It has easy to use controls, nice battery guage (5 miles oer charge) and is thoughtfully designed to make getting on and off as easy as is possible. Sturdy flip up armrests and a swivel seat that locks into multiple positions are nice touches. My only small complaint is that the turning radius of this four wheeled version is really wide. Takes some practice but works fine in a store, not sure about inside a home. We only use if for shopping. We chose the stability of having four wheels vs the three wheeled version. This is solidly built, very stable and just "feels" safe to go on a spin. It seems durable and really is simple to use. The speed control knob limts speed but when turned up to max, will get you someplace in a hurry. After you do it a few times, the assembly and disassembly is quick and pretty painless. Really glad that we purchased this scooter. It's been nearly life changing for my wife . . .

CONTACT PROBLEM: Most scooters have electrical plugs hanging on wires between battery and motor. The wires absorb any movement so the metal connection in the plug stays solid. But this scooter uses solidly mounted contacts on the battery side, which press against mounted metal plates on the removeable motor side to send power across, instead of plugs on wires. So as you ride over even small bumps the torsion between the two sections of the scooter causes the contacts to move slightly across the plates while conducting power. This causes tiny sparks between the two metal parts which eats away the metal. After only 4 months, enough metal was sparked away that electrical contact was lost and the scooter stopped. BATTERY PROBLEM: After three months with the scooter, 3 miles a day on level ground, charging it each night. The battery started going empty after a single 2.5-mile round trip, the problem getting worse each trip. I opened the battery pack and was surprised to see it says "Lead Acid", not even a "Deep Cycle" lead acid. Regular lead-acid batteries are damaged each time you use them more than 50% of their rated value before charging them again, while the "deep cycle" type of lead acid can be drained much further without damage. In my case, I replaced the two 12v batteries with one 24v lithium-ion electric-bike battery. Wrapped in a towel, it fits snuggly in one side of the scooter's battery case. It costs a bit more than Lead Acid, but I'd have been happy to pay a little more for the scooter and have a battery expected to last 5 years. The advantages of lithium-ion over lead-acid are (1) You can use ALL the power in the battery, repeatedly, without any damage. (2) The voltage stays up at 24v until the battery is nearly empty, instead of running down slowly like lead-acid batteries do. (3) It is small and lightweight. The company should invested in long-lasting batteries for the happiness of all their scooter owners. I see the the pair of lead acid batteries on Amazon for $50, and the li-ion battery I bought for $150. It's well worth the $100.00 difference!

Loving this mobility scooter. It’s very quiet. I went to an outdoor mall a week after receiving it. It was wonderful to be independent (instead of someone pushing my manual wheelchair) and to stay longer than I normally would (when I use my walking cane). I still need to learn how to load/unload it into the trunk of my car. My husband has done it every time. After watching him, it’ll take some time for me to be able to do it alone. It looks heavy and (I believe) there are five parts. When I left the mall after 3 hours, the charge on the scooter battery barely changed and my own (body) battery wasn’t totally drained. Yay! I’ve also tested out the speeds and am very impressed at how fast the scooter could go if I ever needed it to. The two cons are turning the wheel and the seat. I haven’t mastered turning because the wheel doesn’t turn all the way. When at the mall, I had to either cut really, really wide or back up & go forward several times. The seat is not as comfortable as I would like so I plan to buy a padded seat cover. For these two reasons, I wanted to give it 4 stars but at this price point I just couldn’t. It is much better priced than others I was looking at. I hope it holds up. Also, I left the arms off for now. The seat spins to the outside for me to get in and out which is very convenient. I cant wait to take it for another spin. So far, I love my new scooter. Will update this review in a few months.
