I tried out two or three scooters. I knew I wanted one with 4 wheels for safety. I didn't need a big one, since I weigh about 130 lbs. I was amazed that I could get a scooter for less than $1,000.00! I opted for a Gogo Elite Traveller by Pride Mobility Products. It can carry up to 250 pounds, so I can carry quite a bit more than myself. I opted for a larger battery and also got a cover for it, since it will remain outside. It's been WONDERFUL! I went back to the store, Pacific Mobility, to get an extra key - it came with 2, and I lost one very early - and flags for driving in shopping centers and crossing streets. After 9 months, I'm very satisfied with the scooter, and with the service by the store.
