" The travelscooter is awesome. when i first read the testamonials i thought they were too good to be true. not so the scooter is every thing you said it was. it has really changed our lives although only my friend needs it. "

I ordered my TravelScoot on Nov. 25. It arrived the next week, and I absolutely LOVE it! My friend has helped me to get around, but with my TravelScoot I don't have to rely on him. I am very happy to have some independence back.
Thank you!

I am so pleased with my Travelscoot that I offer the text below as a testamonial.
My wife and I love to cruise the world, however for a few years now my standing and walking ability has deteriated and life on-board these newer super cruise ships is not as pleasant for me as it was. We live in the UK so most times we have to fly long distances to be able to board our cruise ship and going through airports was also an issue until I found out about the Travelscoot. Like the inventor of this wonderful machine, I had tried out all the other so-called light weight mobility scooters on the market - none of which did the job that I realy wanted - that being.....an ultra light, yet super strong collapsable aid that would make my life more enjoyable.
After speaking directly with the TravelScoot office in the USA, explaining explicitly my needs and getting favourable response for all issues, I paid by credit card and approx 1 week later I was the proud owner of one of these 21st Century gems, which in my opinion deserves an award or two or three!
My world travels now are a joy and everybody that I come into contact with is amazed - children think the "Bike" is cool and I hear them ask their mothers to get them one. Even the teenagers ask me where they can buy one as it is much trendier than a skateboard. In October we cruised on the Navigator of the Seas which is over 1/5 mile long - our cabin was in the Fantail (Stern) and had I not had the TravelScoot I would not have been able to do much - as it was I drove everywhere on it. On that cruise we visited Tenerife and I zoomed up the half-mile long steep hill to the top in Santa Cruz , passing conked out standard issue mobility scooters on the way. I weigh over 250 pounds so don't think that accomplishment was because I was not heavy - I am! I only had one li-on battery with me on that trip and for most shore excursions that was enough - however, on our way home, having passed through two airports and a full days motoring around, I had to push the scoot through customs as the battery was dead. A spare will be taken next trip.
I took my Travel Scoot to the San Antonio Riverwalk this week, and it did great. Thanks for the suggestion about the pipe insulation so my ankle doesn't get blistered. We did have to tighten the front wheel when it moved from the center. I'm getting used to the throttle strength and going downhill. I look forward to taking it on a cruise next month.
I love the clasp you put on the basket--it reminds me of the electrical cord holders you can get at a hardware store, but yours had a little release button so it could be removed or attached as needed. Do you know where I could get some more? I've tried several places, but I thought I could use about six more for attaching various things to my scooter, like a cane on the front or a purse handle to the basket so no one can steal it.
Many thanks,
"

I want to give you a testimonial and a couple of hints I have found out. I just got back from Las Vegas and it couldn't have worked better. I gate checked the scooter and picked van type cabs, and never even had to fold it up. It was comforting to know I could though if I needed a regular cab. The lithium battery easily lasted all day. I maneuvered through the crowds easily and comfortably. Like most of your customers, I was stopped frequently and asked where I got the scooter. I finally wrote out the information out on pieces of paper from the hotel and handed them out when questioned just to save time.
Being handy myself, I have made a couple of small changes to my scooter, just to make it fit my needs even better. When I first got my scooter, it had been shipped without a seat, which you quickly got to me. While waiting on the seat I discovered that the seat and post from my bike fit the scooter perfectly. My gel bicycle seat was also pretty comfortable and much smaller that the regular seat. It also allows me to just stand up and push the scooter through my legs to dismount. Handy when in confined spaces. Also, I discovered that 1" Schedule 40 PVC pipe makes a great and light spacer for the seat post. Since I can cut it to any length, it allowed me to get the seat the perfect height. I painted it black and it looks like it belongs. I also added a drink holder and headlight that I picked up at a bike shop. I mounted the drink holder on the front of the steering post, and the light fit perfectly on the "T" that the grips go in to. As winter is coming on, I find the dark pa
rking lots safer if I have the light on and am more visible. Maybe you could pass on some of these discoveries if someone asks. I am very pleased with my scooter. I can't imagine not having it anymore. As the credit card company says, I never leave home without it. Dennis Peters
We took it into hotels, in rental cars, taxi cabs, touring and shopping, on planes and ships. It was amazing. It gave me so much independence and gave my husband much needed relief also. We can't thank you enough for this wonderful design. We have had several other mobility scooters, but they have been so inconvenient. They are so heavy and bulky and make you still feel dependent. This travelscoot is so much fun, I can't wait to get on it again. Now when we go shopping, my husband
sometimes sits down with a cold drink to watch people while I do the shopping - what fun we have had! Thank you so much for the independence that you have given me for the first time in over 22 YEARS!!!!!!!
Thanks again for all you have done for so many of us. We look forward to hearing from you regarding our question about the motor.

Maybe you will remember that I called you from Hawaii to find out if you could help me get my new travelscoot running. We had just received it before leaving for Hawaii. You were very helpful and we have been running ever since. We toured, shopped, got in taxi cabs, rental cars, planes, ships - all with no trouble and everyone was amazed at the size and efficiency of the scooter. I could travel everywhere alone, without my husband's help, for the first time in 22 years. My husband and I are both very excited about this new independence. In fact, when we go shopping now I help him gather things up because I am so much faster and sometimes he just deceides to sit down, have a cold drink and watch people while i do the shopping.
We can't thank you enough for this amazing design. I have had several scooters, but they were all so heavy and cumbersome that it was impossible for me to go alone and they were very heavy for my husband to load and unload. Thanks again for what you have done to help so many people!!!!!
Thanks again

" I just love the scooter, it plans my day, so far 3 for 3, I have found an excuse to go out and about, exploring places I haven't been to in years because I can't walk that far...the Mall(s), Winco, Costco, Super Target and Super Walmart! Boy, am I having fun!! Oh, heh heh, and the INdian Casino! "
Louise Strickland
" we've just got back from a weeks holiday in Ibiza where I used the travelscoot every day after getting it there by plane following your recommendations on travelling with it. I was amazed how many people stopped me to ask how it worked etc. I've collected a few enquiries so maybe there could be a sale amongst them!! Anyway, we had a very nice holiday and my wife was so pleased she didn't have to push me in a wheelchair so thanks for that Hardy and have you had any response yet from the other enquiries I sent in the past? I'll be in touch soon Hardy with more enquiries, "
Mick Crabb.
" The TravelScoot has greatly improved my life. I have a muscular dystrophy. I can still walk, but places like Sam's Club and Lowes with there cement floors make it painful. Now, I tell everyone I am taking my "harley" out for a ride when I use the TravelScoot. I am only 30 years old and this has brought a little joy back as far as going out with my family to shop. I am very grateful for people like you that put forth the effort to create such a great product. It is also a pretty fun thing to cruise on! LETS RIDE! "

Thank you for the prompt shipment on that seat back cushion. I found it when I got back from Seattle. Problem though. I also need the hardware for the back of the cushion so I can attach it to the rod.
Could you please charge the hardware to the same credit card and ship it to me?
Thank you as akways for making my life easier and far more enjoyable. The larger seat you sent has helped a lot.
I get so many people asking about the TravelScoot that I have now just printed up a business card with your website on it and pictures of the upright and folded scooter on it. I copied the pics from your website. I am confident you don't mind. I hope you are getting additional business from the people I talk to.
Your very happy customer,

I can't tell you how much I love my scooter. You are my hero! People look at me as I speed by and I get smiles from everyone.
Elizabeth Fisher is my sister. The recent scooter she ordered was for me and I was able to take it back to New Jersey when I flew home after being in Baton Rouge. Travelling with the TravelScoot was a pleasure.
Best regards,

My name is Daryl Mc Menamin and I am in my final year of mechanical engineering in Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland. As part of my final year project I have been assigned the task of reducing the weight of a mobility scooter.
As you can guess I have found the work you have done to be very interesting, from my research so far I haven't found another competitor who has come close to what you have achieved.
What I am writing you is in regard to advice on how you initially went about designing your device and what helped or influenced you along the way.
Any information you could give me and any advice would be greatly appreciated
Look forward to hearing from you,
Best Regards,

I go shopping by myself.(I still on occasion take the husband along) Life is ever sooooo great!
My Husband even signed us up to do the Breast CancerWalk, that his work is doing!I will send pictures!
May God richley bless you for this awsome scooter.
Blessings,

I know you get testimonials all the time about the TravelScoot. Another benefit for me is happening because of the failing health of my 14 year old yellow lab. I know his days are numbered and I had assumed I would not be getting another dog because of my limited mobility. I've always walked my dogs for about an hour almost every day and am no longer able to do that. With the TravelScoot I now have the ability to take a dog out for exercise like I would like to do. Two days ago I brought home a 10 week old Jack Russell puppy and he is already starting to mend the broken heart I have from losing my other lab a year ago and knowing I will lose Dakota soon. Words cannot even begin to describe how this is taking what I call this cloud of sadness from me. I will be starting to train this puppy - Roscoe - to travel alongside my TravelScoot starting today. I have a very long driveway and that will be our training ground.
You are changing lives in so very many different ways - I am so grateful for the day I found your internet site.

" This is the second day that I've been able to get from my Ravi to my desk and not be in tears! Thank you so much for figuring out the design. I couldn't handle even one of the other 'light weight' ones by myself. (I've been having my coworkers pick up my Scoot to prove just how light it is.) "

My scooter came in today. It's perfect. My brother had to help me tighten the small pipe going into the seat. I didn't have the right tools; he did.
I drove it around my sister in law's children's clothing store. All of the kids looked like they wanted to get on. The passages between ther racks of clotes are tight but I was able to get through without taking and racks down!
If I'm in a store with breakables, I'm going to get off and walk around. Tomorrow, I'm headed to Magazine St. in New Orleans to check out the Antique Shops. I can't wait.
Thank you,

I hope all is well with you.
I am Loving my Travels Scoot! I have been to Victoria twice, the Portland Zoo and the San Diego Zoo!
Get me the price of the larger seat, I think that could be more comfortable for me.
How is the new battery coming? I will want one of those as soon as they are available.
Thanks,
"

Love my scooter and wonder if you have any folders or cards I could give to people who ask me about the scooter? I think you have my address and if anyone is interested in seeing the scooter, please feel free to give them my address and/or phone number.
Thanks for a great ride.

We received our scooter about 2 months ago and we love it.
It is so easy to keep in the back of our SUV. We don't break it down all the way...just remove the seat and battery and put the handle bars down. Its easy for even me to lift.
My husband is the main user of this scooter as I have a larger mobility scooter. But mine is in the shop so today I took this one to the mall. As we are every time we go in public, I was stopped several times by folks wanting to know where I got the scooter.
Folks like its "sporty" look as well as the convenience. (I had no problem shopping and having a place to put packages as we have the canvas piece between the bars and we purchsed a basket for the front and one for the back. ) This scooter goes in between clothing racks in department stores much easier than my larger scooter.
Because we are stopped so much, I wonder if you have any cards or brochures that we can give those folks who ask us about the scooter.
Also, for those wondering, I submitted our receipt to our insurance carrier along with the prescription from the doctor. The claim was denied. Insurance and medicare have not yet recognized the freedom this design allows. But it was worth purchasing out of pocket. I love what folks are calling our "motorized tricycle."

"I received the Travel Scoot and used it at the Orange County Fair...11am to 9:30pm... with no problems!
I then took it to Las Vegas and rode it through the hotels/casinos and did some gambling again with no problems.
The narrow width of the unit makes getting around in crowed areas a breeze!
Of course I received a lot of questions wherever I went and told them about your company.
Fantastic product!
Thanks"
Randy
"We love the TravelScoot, my husband Mushtaq finds it easy to manoever and can safely get it in and out of our car by himself. We eagerly await our first airline trip using it.
Many thanks, please add us to your list of satisfied customers.

"Now, let me tell you about our trip we just returned from, a cruise out of Venice, using Travelscoot.
That lithium-ion battery is amazing.
I zipped around the airports in Las Vegas, JFK, Venice and the lengthy process of boarding the cruise ship, and the battery was still going strong...and I weigh 260 pounds.
Your new advice about gate checking the Travelscoot worked perfectly at all airports... Las Vegas, JFK and Venice. The only deviation from your suggestions was that I carried the lithium-ion battery in its battery bag onto the plane with us rather than leave it on the scooter since it was so light. I felt better about having it in the climate-controlled cabin with us.
On board ship, the Travelscoot made my cruise.....I could go everywhere and do everything. The most useless thing I had on board ship was my cane....I never used it.
Thank you for inventing such a wonderful means of transport. The combination of the Travelscoot and that special lithium-ion battery made such a difference in my trip experience."

"I replaced the belt on my mother's scooter, she even did some "off road" scooting at Sarah Palin's going away picnic in Anchorage, Alaska !
She is seen here with another 'celebrity'! :-)
Thanks for all your support and help. The scooter runs like a charm, even after all these years."

"vielen Dank fuer die prompte Zusendung des Travelscoot. Alles hat super funktioniert und der Travelscoot ist wohlbehalten im Hotel in Seattle angekommen.
Wir haben den Travelscoot sofort auf unserer 14 taegigen Alaska Kreuzfahrt ausprobiert. Meine Frau, Lucila, hatte sofort die groesste Freude mit dem Travelscoot. Sie hat nun die Freiheit wiedergewonnen Orte zu sehen, die vorher nicht mehr erreichbar waren. Ich wuenschte, Du haettes das Glueck und die Freude in Ihren Augen gesehen. Ich fuege einige Bilder der Reise anbei, damit Du einen Eindruck bekommst wo uns der Travelscoot begleitete.
Ob auf dem Schiff, in Alaska, in Kanada oder in Mexico, ueberall wurden wir auf den Travelscoot angesprochen und ich habe mit groesster Freude und besten Empfehlungen Deine Webseite weitergegeben.
Nochmals herzlichen Dank und alles Gute von"

"Loving the 'Scoot:
just back from a 16-day cruise round the Baltic & wouldn't have been able to go without it!
Went Fred Olsen. Couldn't use it on board, as late booking & not a 'wheelchair' cabin, which you must have to use on board, but stuck it under my bed & assembled & rode into the lift when we docked & down to the gangway, where the crew took it down, happily making brrm brrm noises as they went. It really was invaluable. Even the fearsome cobbles of Tallinn didn't cause it any problems,, altho' my teeth rattled.
Thanks for such a great design.
It was much commented on & a physio in Stockholm took photos & details.
Regards,"
Monty Chapman
"I really appreciate your wonderful service!
I went on my first major outing with my Travelscoot yesterday. I rode it to the park accompanied by my 9 year old granddaughter, and then let her ride it around the park. She LOVED it!!! Then I took it to the downtown museum where I parked a couple of blocks away, rode the scooter to the entrance, then rode it inside. It was really a thrill.
I feel like the world is accessible to me again!
I can't thank you enough for this wonderful product, or begin to tell you how much it means to me to have the independence it gives back to me.
Best,"
Skyler Freimann
"Just received my Travelscoot yesterday.
So far... LOVE IT!
I want to thank you for inventing this scooter. It is truly revolutionary.
I am a polio/post-polio victim. Travelscoot will open up a whole new world of liesure options for me.
I'm a retired chemistry teacher, and my wife just recently retired. Now we can look forward to years of easier travel thanks to you and the Travelscoot."
Lee Cordrey
"I have had my scooter for almost 2 years now and thoroughly enjoy it and USE it very often, although I am able to walk without it...it just feels a lot better to USE it than to walk on my own.
Here's my problem, though...almost every time I take it out of my car, no matter WHERE I'm going, I get stopped by people to ask about it...where did I get it, what did it cost, how long does it run on a charge, etc. Although most of the people are on the internet, not all are, and they want to know more and more. I am so thoroughly happy with my scoot that I want you to sell more and more of them.
Do you have any brochures which I could have in my basket to lead these people to you? Or any business cards? I would be very happy to give them to people if you would please send me some."
Sally E. Nightengale
"My mother is back in Alaska visiting....with her TravelScoot, of course.
She has logged A LOT of miles on this thing without a second's worth of trouble.
Thanks for your help. She will not go anywhere without her Travelscoot. Actually, without it, she wouldn't be able to go many of the places she currently enjoys!
Take Care."

"I bought my Travelscoot when you came to Baton Rouge for the demo trip.
I am really enjoying the Travelscoot.
Took it to Disney World last month and had people chasing me down to find out where it came from.
The lithium battery was great. We left the hotel room in the morning and usually didn't get back until midnight and it never went below the full light indicator.
Thanks for the great product."
Ayn Erickson
"I can't begin to tell you how much I love my TravelScoot.
I've gotten very good at folding and unfolding.
It has changed the way I do my job. Because of my asthma issues, I would have had to quit my job this summer. My scoot is keeping me working.
I'm even getting used to have total strangers chase me to find out about the TravelScoot.
Thanks again for creating such a wonderful device. It really is changing the way I do things."
Rhonda Postlethwait
"My new li-on battery really came in handy the last two weeks. My husband had an emergency triple by-pass surgery in the Houston Medical Center which is a very large complex that required me to be mobile at all hours and for long distances. I could not have been able to help him recover without my Travelscoot.
We are now home and more thankful than ever for finding the scooter on the net several years ago."
Pamela Wiley
"I want you to know how much I love this scooter.
Because of your smart collapsable design, I was easily able to tour Alaska, in and out of buses, boats, and planes where other scooters woulnd't have fit.
Thank you coming up with this design and allowing me to live a good life again."
Joni Berardi-Williams
"My dad and I have to RUN to keep up with my aunt Bernice on her Travelscoot! She is having the time of her life! (and is exhausting my dad and I hahaha!)
Here's a picture of bernice in front of the famous St. Mary's Church, in the main market square in Krakow, Poland. So far no issues, the cobblestones are a little bumpy, and we occasionally have to give her a bit of a boost, but otherwise, she's doing very well!
We're off to Budapest tomorrow!
Cheers,"
Valerie
"Thank you so much for the extra battery charger. I'm using it now to charge my battery at my office.
Alan put my scooter together when it arrived, so the first one I assembled was Rhonda's. I don't know if you could have made it any easier. We had it assembled and were testing it outside in less than 5 minutes.
Rhonda says she's written your website address down and given it out at least ten times in two days. Hopefully you'll be getting more inquiries from Baton Rouge. Also, and I don't know if she's told you this or not, but she needed a scooter because she has respiratory problems that send her to the emergency room several times a year.
Yesterday, the first day she used her TravelScoot at work, she started to have an asthma attack but avoided it because she had her scoot.
She told me she felt liberated. You've done a great thing."
Elizabeth
"I just want to thank you for the wonderful scooter.

I know that it will make an massive difference to my life.
Thank you.

"I have had my scooter for over 3 years and am very pleased with it.
I am not a light weight person and it has carried me successfully on 2 Caribbean cruises, a bus trip to New England, a train tour through the Canadian Rockies and many trips here in our own United States.
Without it there are many stores and events that I would not be able to attend."
Virginia Noble
"I am pleased to announce i received my Travelscoot one week ago.
Light, easy, good design; what emotional difference from a normal wheelchair! Just a little caution on surfaces not totally flat.
Anyway, a good day to celebrate with a champagne cup!

"Can you please send me some business cards so that I can distribute them to all who ask about the Travelscoot?
I do quite a lot of traveling and am in the process of creating a website/blog pertaining to my travel experiences as a recently handicapped woman. I would also like to include a link to your website, if possible.
Your scooter has given me back my life as I can travel again by myself and can get the scooter in and out of my car alone! I keep it in my car and only bring the battery in the house!
Gratefully,"

"I'd first like to say what a great product you make. We've had a few outings lately to places like the mall and my wife absolutely loves her TravelScoot.
I can't wait to try it in the airplane. I think we're going to go to Sun-N-Fun in April.
Thanks again for such a great product.
More people should know about the TravelScoot!"

"My wife recently bought me the deluxe Travelscoot as a surprise present for my birthday.
I've really enjoyed it so far (especially because it is so portable). It's definitely been getting me out of the house more I have in a long time.
By the way, people have asked me about it when we have been out shopping. If you send me some business cards, I will give them to people who ask me about my cool scooter.
Best regards,"

Malcolm Pryke
"First I like to say how wonderful the TravelScoot is.
On a recent cruise to the Mediterranean, I used the TravelScoot extensively and let me tell you it was a God sent. I never would of or could of made the trip without the TravelScoot.
Thank you so much for creating the TravelScoot and for your professional assistance in this matter.
God bless and have a great life as you have made mine so much better with the TravelScoot.
Yours Truly,"
Robert McElroy
"I really like my scooter. We traveled to Hawaii with it and it worked like a charm."
Lisa Vayda
"We purchased our TravelScoot in August, 2006, with the low gear option and we are perfectly happy with it.
The user gains freedom, but the partner also gains freedom--not having to push a wheelchair, not having to worry about the other person (except what trouble they're going to get into!!) Off they go by themself, and the partner can, too!!
The short version: independence for the user, AND independence for the partner. "
Dorothy Sunday/Liz Esterly
"My mother bought a TravelScoot approximately 1-1/2 years ago and loved it.
It made a trip to Peru possible for her that without your scooter would not have been possible.
She also had a full-sized mobility scooter, but preferred her TravelScoot at work (she was a librarian) due to it's compact size and maneuverability.
Thank you,"
Mark Oliver
"I received my travelscoot in early September just before our cruise to Alaska.
The scooter made all the difference for me in that I was able to keep up with my family and had much more fun.
Thank you for designing such a fine machine. Our only problem was with the duffel bag which the airline did a number on, although thankfully the scooter itself was unharmed. For your information we have found that the scooter will fit in a hard sided "golf guard" holder and hopefully this will prevent future rips in the bag.
Again, thank you so much for designing such a great product. We live in Hickory, NC and would be happy to show our unit to others who are hesitant to buy without seeing the product in person.
Again, thank you."
Kathryn Tisdale
"Your TravelScoot is just what I have been looking for. If fact, I've wanted to invent one because I didn't think they existed!!!! Thank you for saving me a great deal of time and effort!!
Thank you, "
Patricia
"I wish you lived in New Mexico, I'd invite you to come over and try it out! I absolutely love mine. I had tried out several other kinds and this one won hands down.
First of all, it is extremely well made and it comes apart easily and folds up easily and reassembles easily. I am 75 and had a problem loading other kinds of scooters even tho they were advertised as light weight...the length and width of those other scooter pieces made them too hard to deal with. I can easily load and unload the Travel Scoot without any help.
I have a bad lower back (doesn't everybody) and walking any distance is very painful. This year I took my Travel Scoot to the New Mexico State Fair and rode it for 6 hours and had a wonderful time. It is ideal for going to places like Home Depot that has concrete floors. As you can tell, I am a big fan and I believe you would be a big fan, too!"
Jo Thompson
"You will be hearing from a good friend of mine, also in Placitas, NM. She was over here this afternoon trying out my scooter. She loves the scooter.
I am really enjoying my TravelScoot. It is one of the wisest purchases I have ever made!"

"Hello!
I purchased a TravelScoot some time ago and it is being a great scooter. It is such a WONDERFUL blessing in my life; like so many others I can't thank you enough!
Kindest regards,"
Joan Milner
"I used the TravelScoot in San Francisco yesterday and I'm happy to say it's a near-perfect fit. The only thing required is an adjustment to the backrest.
I was able to lift and assemble the scooter without a problem. Now I can expand my traveling horizons. Thank you!
Sincerely,"
Coni Valentine
"At the end of April this year, my husband purchased a nearly new Travelscoot for me. I love it. I "walk" the dog, go to the store, visit friends & recently visited New York. It turned heads on Broadway & helped me discover Central Park. We stopped for coffee at Starbucks, sat near an electrical outlet & charged the battery while we sipped.
I have demonstrated it to physiotherapists & occupational therapists at a local Rehab Centre, let a store clerk in New York test it because he wanted one for his mother, & given out the website in Saskatoon, Montreal, Kelowna, Toronto & Calgary. Yes, I am THAT pleased."
Karin Buchanan
"I received the TravelScoot just 3 days after you had dispatched it and it only took a few minutes to unpack and fully assemble it. I am very satisfied with the way it collapses so that my wife can lift it in and out of the car.
My thanks for a splendid product which is beautifully manufactured.
Regards,"
John Sims
"The Travelscoot has already attracted a lot of interest here.
On Saturday we are off for 3 days hitting bird reserves in Norfolk - that the top bit of the lump that sticks out on the right side of England.
Travelscoot fits in the trunk by simply lowering the steering column and removing the seat back. When folded it fits easily in a cupboard at home. It's absolutely brilliant!

"I just put my TravelScoot together for the first time - it is awesome!
I have it in the back of my car to use whenever I need it.
The engineering is great. If I use it on wet pavement (I live in Seattle!)
Thanks again for a great product.”

"Thank you for my wonderful TravelScoot.
It arrived in record time and I was able to take it with me on my trip to Chicago.
It made possible all kinds of things that would not have been possible before. I attended a huge art showing at Navy Pier - the venue was at least the size of a football field. I never would have been able to see all of it on foot.
In addition, the battery took me from the hotel all the way to the show, carted me around all day long and got me half way back before calling it a day. No problem, though, we just broke it down and hailed a cab.
I have to say I thoroughly LOVE my TravelScoot. I have yet to use it without being stopped many times by people asking about it. In fact, if you would like to send me some of your business cards, I would be happy to give them to all of the folks inquiring.
Thanks again, for making it possible for me to get out and have a great time.”

"My Friend was here yesterday to see my TravelScoot. She put it in her car and drove it around on my driveway.
She really liked it.
I also need some more brochures as i still have some of your cards.
I can't tell you what a difference this have made in my life!!!

"I purchased a TravelScoot in April of 2008.
I have enjoyed the scoot tremendously.
I took it with me on a trip to Italy and would have been lost without it. It was everything you said it would be and more.
Thank you so much.”
Marie A. Antone Newton
"I'm now at my daughter's apartment in New York and have been trying out TravelScoot in the corridors.
Very impressed, I've even learned to get all the bits in the bag.
It is a beautifully engineered machine.
I guess the coupling that allows it to fold up was the major breakthrough. That is brilliant.
Best wishes”

"It's refreshing, to say the least, and exciting, and my new TravelScoot is a "HOOT!", it is peppy, easy to handle and a joy to use.
I have used mobility scooters for over ten years and never have I enjoyed a mobility scooter as much as I enjoy my TravelScoot.
Thanks all at TravelScoot.”

I used it for a wedding, 3 museums,2 nature boardwalks...My wife and I love it.
It is so much better than other larger scooters that I have , for travel.
Thank you”

"This is not an inquiry, but more in the nature of a 'testimonial'.
A wide and diverse group of friends recently joined together to purchase one of your scooters for a dear friend, who could not have afforded this on her own. Together, we bought the scooter for her and it was a smash success.
In her own words, her independence has been restored.
She recently used the scooter on a trip to her doctor's office, located within a hospital complex. This was the first time she was able to do the trip on her own, without exhaustion. She didn't have to depend on anyone else's schedule or to devote hours of their day to assist her. She was able to park the car in any lot, not worry about being close enough, and was able to negotiate the long hospital corridors, arriving at her doctor's appointment without being exhausted from having to walk through hallways.
Everyone stopped to ask her about the scooter - they had not seen anything like it before. Two women in electric wheelchairs expressed amazement, people opened doors, and there were even people ready to help her load the scooter in the car.
I can not thank you enough for putting together this type of a product, that has made such a huge difference to my dearest friend.
Sincerely,
Ruth Sovronsky

"I love your new website and I love my new scooter that I got from you Tuesday.
On Saturday I took it to the New Mexico State Fair and for the first time in years I was able to enjoy all the exhibits.
I had never ridden a mobility scooter before but it was easy to learn how to ride and very easy to fold up and get it into and out of the back of my car by myself.
Thank you for an excellent product; it is practical and beautifully made.
I look forward to many more happy times with it.”

"I purchased a Travelscoot for my Mom a couple of months ago.
We took it on a cruise in June and are taking it to Florida in a few days.
We love it.
Get the Lithium-Ion battery and the entire scooter assembled with battery weighs less than 35 lbs. I'm female and can handle it for my mom. It's a bit easier if one person presses the button to release the legs and another lifts the legs at the same time. But, it can be done by one person. It's not that the legs are heavy to lift -- they are very light. It's just doing two activities at once requires a bit of dexterity.
The Travelscoot is made from heavy duty aluminum and quite frankly we were surprised at how sturdy and reliable it is. It holds my mom comfortably and has lots of good pickup. We have yet to run out the battery.
We went on numerous shore excursions on our recent cruise. Others were struggling with heavy scooters on the excursion bus lifts, etc. We just folded up the Travelscoot in 30 seconds and easily put it in the cargo area of the bus.
As another poster noted, it is not good for someone with no ability to walk and move their legs as you do need to back up with your feet and legs (in an elevator for example). Mom has serious arthritis and has had heart bypass surgery, so can only manage perhaps 20 steps without leg pain and shortness of breath. She is mobile enough to scoot out of an elevator using her feet and legs.
We're thrilled with it. I knew that anything heavier than the Travelscoot would simply not work for us on planes, buses and ships. We're very happy with the Travelscoot and would not want to deal with anything heavier or more cumbersome.
We had rented three-wheel scooters for mom at Disneyworld several times and, they are truly a pain to disassemble, lift, etc. They were such a pain that my brother, who travels with mom from time to time, was a total skeptic when I told him I'd ordered the Travelscoot -- and that it's really lightweight and sturdy. He said, "I'll believe it when I see it".
He's now a convert! We think it's the best choice by far in lightweight travel scooters.”

"Your scooter profoundly changed my father's life for the better and gave him a freedom he otherwise would not have had.
Having seen people's response to your scooter and how it changed my father's life, I see there are a lot of people who could similarly benefit and on a commercial note South Africa could potentially be a large market. Would you be interested discussing the possibility an agency? Please let me know your thoughts.
Yours sincerely"

"My TravelScoot arrived last Wednesday, and I am thrilled to have it.
I find the engineering to be elegant, the materials and construction to be excellent and the TravelScoot very easy to ride.
Having ridden motorcycles and bicycles for years, the twist throttle and the hand breaks are second nature to me and needed no practice to get used to.
I have named my scooter my "Hardly Ableson" (with apologies to the famous motorcycle company), and I find it delightfully liberating.
I'm a 76 year old man with a lot of arthritis. I can hardly walk the length of a block, but I'm still able to drive, and I load the TravelScoot the trunk and take it anywhere I want. Yesterday my wife and I went to the Humboldt County Fair. My TravelScoot got me everywhere we wanted to go with great ease and comfort. We are both delighted.
Many thanks for you great little scooter. It's worth every penny.
Sincerely,"

"I received the front wheel (thanks!) and my father-in-law absolutely LOVES the TravelScoot.
We brought it over to him yesterday and he immediately went all over his housing complex to visit his friends.
He had a smile on his face from ear to ear (his inability to walk any distances kept him pretty depressed) and said this will add years to his life.
He was so pleased it was light and small enough for him to handle. "
Gail Sternberg
"I have been absolutely thrilled with my TravelScoot.
I can put my resperonics oxygen unit on the maroon sling and bungy chord for extra safey and have been able to be mobile for the first time in a along time.
A major blessing for not only me but my family.
No longer left out when wanting to be with my grandchildren."
Barbara Lotz
"I am a 5'4" woman weighing 150 pounds. I have a damaged left shoulder and can not lift any weight with it.
With the lithium-ion battery, I can lift the whole scooter with my right arm, just using my left hand to steady it, and put it in or out of my small SUV. All that I have to do for it to fit is drop the handlebars down.
I have used the scooter at the mall and even taken it in to visit a friend in the hospital.
At Oshkosh, I used it on grass, gravel and hard surface with ease.
I was amazed at how long both of the batteries lasted.
My husband has a standing scooter to use at Oshkosh which can not be taken into the fly-in grounds like my TravelScoot and he was so worn out that he says he will get a TravelScoot for next year!
I am absolutely delighted with my TravelScoot and highly recommend it. Everything about it is very high quality and well designed.
Thank you for giving me the ability to keep up with my husband, travel, and do so many thing that I could not do otherwise!"
Margie Fenney
"My husband and I have been hectic and busy getting ready to move our entire household around the world to Nairobi, Kenya.
I *LOVE* my TravelScoot!
What a dependable little workhorse of a machine!
It got me reliably thru the airports (Dulles, in DC) and Amersterdam and then Nairobi. I've used it around the embassy and even out shopping.
We took it to the world famous Elephant Orphanage here in Nairobi and I used it on the paths and road - which consisted of hard packed red dirt and BIG rocks. Not one teensy little problem!!!
You wouldn't believe how much people stare at me here, and I've heard my TravelScoot referred to as my "little bicycle"!
You make a great product and I truly thank you!
Kathleen Wilkinson
"Recently we took a trip to Paris and of course took my TravelScoot. It
was a long way from our commuter train to the Eurostar train.
To ease
the luggage situation, I removed the saddle and put the carry handle of
one of our suitcases over the U bar and then replaced the saddle. I also
loaded another suitcase and a carry bag across the TravelScoot.
Refer to
the attached photograph.
The TravelScoot did not notice the additional
weight and was easy to manage. I also on another occasion dispensed with
the suitcase across the TravelScoot and found that the TravelScoot was
stable whilst towing the remaining suitcase, but then the centre of
gravity of the suitcase drawbar was low and did not pose a threat to the
stability of the TravelScoot. This, of course, meant that I could use
both hands to control the TravelScoot and could negotiate my way easily
through the crowds of people.
At Paris we visited Montmartre, home of the artists and street
entertainers, the whole area is dominated by the white domed basilica of
the Sacre Coeur. I managed to travel up the steep cobbled street from
the bus stopping area to the bottom of the Sacre Coeur, and down again
with no problems. Anyone who knows the area will realize that this was
no mean feat for the TravelScoot to perform.
The cobbled streets were fine to use provided that one travels at a slow
speed to avoid being bounced about.
It is also so easy to take the TravelScoot on a bus, train or plane and
to use it in confined spaces and crowded areas.
I can conclude by stating that the TravelScoot is a really great
mobility scooter that will take a person over any type of paved surface,
and up or down any reasonable slope with ease. It is a fantastic machine
with good stability."

"My mother is still using her Travel-Scoot and loves it. My question is, does the scooter require any type of maintenance? She has used it for three or four years now, all over the country, on buses, trains, planes, automobiles and subways and couldn't travel without it. Do we have to do anything to it as in regular maintenance? We haven't done a thing, so far, except charge the batteries.
Thanks."

"My dad actually returned the Lexus Light, it was just too bulky for us, again we do a ton of air travel, we actually went down to pbi from jfk and bought www.travelscoot.com.
It is great for travel....small, and can hold up to 320 pounds...
This is not my dad's primary scooter for home, he has a Rally for regular use, but this travelscoot folds into a large duffle bag, and we fold it up at the gate and gate check it with the strollers, and so on.
Hope this help.
All the best. "
Bill from Queens, NY
"Just to let you know how thrilled I am with my TravelScoot. It is so nifty to use in the Supermarket. I had been using the Supermarket mobility scooters, but they are so cumbersome, especially when turning into the aisles which are often packed with shelf packers trollies as well as shoppers. The TravelScoot turns easily within its own size, as well as being fun to operate and use.
I have tried, without success, to obtain a lightweight portable scooter in the UK . They are just not available in this country. Many suppliers advertise their products as being portable when in reality they actually mean transportable, provided that at least 2 fairly strong people load/unload their products into the trunk (boot) of cars. I find that I can load the TravelScoot into my car without help from others.
Thank you for restoring my mobility.
Regards"

I'm still getting used to some things on my scooter but I love it more every time I use it. Hope we can drum up lots of business for you. Would you be going to the Oshkosh Fly-in this year?
My husband and son when last year. Our son is going this year...maybe Al too...who knows... Your scooter certainly would benefit you at a large fly-in like that."

"Hi - thanks for the scooter. I finally used it for some distance today, and it worked fine. I'm pleased.
Also, I get a lot of interest in the scooter.
People really love it. I drove it to my Pilates class this morning and everyone was amazed at its lightness and maneuverability.
Do you have some kind of flyer, or business card, I could hand out? I'm sure you would get some orders if I could tell people how to get in
touch with you.
Thanks"

I will source some 14 A/h batteries this week.

"We too have purchased baskets from our bike store for our Scoots. They do well when shopping for a few items, but not when you need to really grocery shop....and I hate using the motorized scooters in the stores. Way to many germs for my liking....and waaaaay too slow. In my head I keep thinking that using a bungee cord to pull a shopping cart behind me would work. My husband said it wouldn't. WAS HE EVER WRONG! I tried it just to prove him wrong. It worked easily even with a full load of groceries. I had lots of shoppers laughing at my shopping cart antics....but all were curious about my Scoot. Takes an old blonde!!
We took an 8000 mile cross country motor home trip last Fall. My Scoot took me everywhere I wanted to go. It's an amazing little machine and I've had a zillion questions about it while travelling.
Needless to say...I love my Travel Scoot."

"I have been meaning to drop a line or two to tell you how much I enjoy my TravelScoot.
I received it for Christmas 2007 from my family. What a surprise!
I can walk a little but not far. So when we go motorcycling etc I must sit somewhere so my friends and family can walk to other places that I can't navigate. One thing I really enjoy is not having to mess with the put, puts in the stores because they are so slow and hinder others I'm with.
I feel like I'm one of your sales persons. I get many remarks about my TravelScoot and every time I am out I am stopped and questioned about how to get a TravelScooter for someone in their family or friends. We always give them your web site, which is beautiful, by the way. People are most surprised at how it folds up so quickly and can be put is the trunk and still have room for groceries. I get the biggest kick out of the very young children and how they watch me when I'm scooting around in the stores.
Thanks again."

"Received my scooter a couple of weeks ago and have taken it on vacation to Hot Springs Ar.
I absolutely love the freedom it provides me, being able to keep up with family and not slowing them down.
I have Ceberal Palsy and in the past I would tire out easy and have to sit for long periods or end the outing early.
Folds up and assembles quickly, easily stores in the trunk of the car. Very well engineered and very well built.
Thanks again for giving me my freedom back.
A very satisified customer"

"Just wanted to update you on the new Li-Ion battery and wish you Happy Holidays.
This new battery is fantastic.
It is a lot lighter and seems to hold a charge for a longer period of time.
My husband said it is easier to connect.
It was well worth the additional money.
I have only used the old batteries once since receiving the new battery.
Take care,"
Marilyn Long
"This isn't an enquiry...it's a word of praise!
I have been using my TravelScoot for several months now and am totally delighted with it!
Since I can walk some, but not too long, I can load and unload my scooter by myself, but find that people are kind and very often someone stops to help me, sometimes so that they can ask a few questions about the scooter and sometimes just because people are, contrary to public opinion, very kind!
Just after I received my scooter I got back in touch with you regarding a basket for the scooter and was very surprised that you don't sell one. I went to a bicycle shop and got two reed baskets, one to strap onto the front and one to strap onto the back. They are very helpful but quite small, so I can't carry too much. I use my scooter primarily in hospital clowning and you have no idea how much STUFF you have to carry as a clown! I think you could do your customers a real service by designing and selling a wire basket fitted to the maximum size for the scooter...and increase your bottom line, too.
One last thing that I have found...I primarily clown at a children's hospital and have found the scooter to be a wonderful help there...first of all, many children are in wheelchairs or other wheeled carts or on crutches and my being on the scooter brings me down to eye-level with them...and they respond beautifully to that! Of course, all the little boys are fascinated with it and always ask if they can ride it (actually, they say, "Drive it"). I don't, of course, let them do that. Also, the hospital is said to have seven miles of floors if you hit every department, every floor, and I was having trouble even covering one floor.
Also, I had given up on going to shopping malls...I just couldn't handle the walking, but now I scoot along the halls with no problem. The other day a man in an electric wheelchair shouted out to me, "Slow down...this isn't to Grand Prix, you know!" But then he wanted to know all about the scooter!
In your debt forever,"

"I had to update you on my life with my Travelscoot.
I can now participate in swim aerobics because the scooter delivers me from the parking lot to the pool's edge.
I've enjoyed going with my grandchildren to the zoo and waterpark for hours at a time. My aunt calls me Speedy Pants!
Thank you so much for helping get back into the mainstream of life.
Retirement is fun now."
Pamela Wiley
"What a great scooter! I have put this unit through its paces for a month on the hilly streets of my neighborhood, on the city sidewalks, and while attending a weekend conference at a nearby resort.
The Travel Scoot is so much more stable than my No Boundaries Featherlite scooter due to the angled frame design and battery placement under the seat, all enabling the rider to maintain a low center of gravity.
I am absolutely in awe of the speed the tiny motor generates.
The Travel Scoot is so compact that it even fits in the trunk space of my Porsche, and I can load it easily with just one hand.
The Travel Scoot is the best!"

"The replacement for my lost seat arrived right on time for my Alsaka Cruise. I left on Sept 8,2007 and was on the Cruise ship Serenade of the Seas at Vancouver Dock, by noon. The scooter was delivered to me in the evening. I unfolded it and started using it right away.
Through the whole cruise I used the scooter for going to dinging rooms for breakfast, lunch, dinner, all the events on the ship. I used it to move around in all the possible parts of the ships. Many persons inquired where I got the scooter. I told them Travel Scoot. They were amazed at the agility of the scooter.
I could not have enjoyed the cruise if I did not have your replacement seat for use on my scooter.
I used the scooter in Hanooka for moving to tram for the tram journery. I used the scooter to watch the Hubbard Glacier from the ship and go to Manenhall Glacier and watch the salmons, and the glacier mouth and the falls. At least 20 persons were amazed at its convenience, inquired and I told them where
to get it.
Then we went to see the Jasper National Park. We visited all the attractions and I used the scooter for 3 days unfolding for use to see the attractions like Lake Louise, Lake Lorain, and many other places where I would be obliged to walk and I could not walk beyond about 150 feet.
I used on rough terrain with loose gravel and uneven surface and it did well. I could control wellin almost all the places I used it. I used it in restaurants, and in malls and mall shops.
I am very happy with my scooter.
Thank you,"
Ranchhodbhai Patel
"You may recall our conversation about the purchase of the TravelScoot for my wife. We had tried a "light weight" Lexis Scooter and found it to be not only not light weight, but not very convenient to fold up, assemble or LIFT into the car or airplane.
I was somewhat reluctant to purchase yours "sight unseen" for that reason. Your assurance and willingness to take it back if it didn't work for my wife's situation was what it took to get me to purchase it.
Boy, am I glad we did! It has given my wife a "new life".
She was pretty well getting homebound with the limitations of strenght and balance and nerve problems which make walkign with her walker so slow and painful that she just didnt' want to go very far.
We just got back from an Alaskan Cruise (our first vacation together in several years) and she had the time of her life. Was able to go exploring, not feel like she was holding anyone back and really learned how to drive (on the elevator....quick sharp 180 and ready to go ....at least 50 times!). Only a couple "learning curve lessons" :-)
We got home from Alaska (TravelScoot in the overhead both ways), loaded it in the back of our Cessna 210 and headed up North where she rode it down the dock to our boat, we loaded it aboard for land tours at our destination and away we went.
You have no idea what your engineering genius has done for my lovely bride of 38 years! WE CAN TRAVEL TOGETHER AGAIN! And what a great piece of engineering!
Thanks for your kind approach to getting us on one of your scooters. We will always be indebted to you."

"The TravelScoot is wonderful.
I've enjoyed using it in "big box" stores and malls that I wouldn't have been able to explore because I have trouble walking great distances.
Many people have asked me about it and several "able bodied" people have remarked how they wish they had something like it to ride.
Sincerely,"

"My friend, Nicholas and I went over to the wide cement area where the morning market is located and unpacked the new scooter.
In less than ten minutes it was put together and running.
Let me tell you it's so compact and easy to set up ... now less than 2 minuets ... steady, balanced, and small, when finished it just folds and tossed into the trunk and off I go!
I love it and after the gym tomorrow and some errands will try it out on rue Cler."
Edward J. CUNHA
"Thought I would give you the latest update on my scooter.
This past week my grandaughters were here for a visit. They are 16 months and almost 5 years old. We went to the store shopping for clothing for them and also went to the playground for them to play.
It was great being able to keep up with them. When we needed to cross the street the 5 year old would hold my hand and we were able to cross safely.
We also went to a "food court" for lunch and I didn't experience any problems getting around. The scooter pulled up to the table without a problem.
Also, I have found that it is very deceiving as far as the turn-around ability of the scooter. Many times I thought I wouldn't be able to turn around in the small aisle in the store or also move so easily between the clothes racks.
I'll keep you apprised up any new experiences with the scooter.
Hope all is well with you.

"I received my Travelscoot late yesterday afternoon and spent the evening reading the material and practicing setup and take down of the scooter.
Today I made a victory lap around our mall and I can't thank you enough for creating the perfect device to give me back my life.
On my first trip I was able to assemble and fold it back up in under 2 minutes and loved the freedom of being out of the house by myself.
I hope to earn enough "credit" with referrals to get the lighter/longer lasting battery but most of all I would like others with walking problems to know the feeling of independence that I now have! "

"Do you have any Travel Scoot flyers that you could send me? I would like to include one in a few of my Christmas cards. Plus I would like to leave a couple in my doctor's office as well as one with my pharmacist. There are lots of elderly people here that might be interested in the Scoot. When using mine, there has been lots of interest. I'm glad you sent me some of your cards. I'll be happy to do a bit of advertising for you. Your product is well worth it. I'm very happy with mine. It's lots easier to transport than those other kind of scooters.....and performs well. I'm anxious to see how my husband likes it when he changes the gear and tries it out.
My local bike shop in NJ fitted mine with a basket on the back of it. The little canvas carrier underneath my feet was immediately claimed by my pup. He loves riding on it with me. From the day it arrived and the moment I first got on it, he was on it with me. And no matter how long I'm using it....that's where he stays. I sometimes have trouble getting him off of it when I get home. He wants to keep riding. He's become a very spoiled pup. I'm going to include his picture on it in my Christmas cards as well. Great advertisement for those of my friends who have small dogs or cats and are considering getting a transportation aid.
As you can see from this picture, I had just put the Scoot together when he claimed his place. I hadn't even tried it out yet.
Do have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Sincerely,"

"I´m Bernd Koschier - owner of www.escooter.de.
I already sold some of your fantastic units here in Germany - buying it from LANZ.
The users are really happy with it - sometimes nearly fanatic since it gives them a chance to travel by plane, car, train.
Congratulations on this product! Well chosen components and very very innovative folding system!
Regards from Munich"

"After viewing your TravelScoot on the Discovery Channel, I decided to call your 800 number.
I'm a retired gentlemen with walking difficulties over a 100 meters.
At first, I was concerned about my weight being too much for the small TravelScoot, weighing about 320lbs. But, after visiting with you in West Palm Beach and trying out the TravelScoot, I changed my mind and purchsed one.
I have nothing but good things to say.
Surprisingly satisfied with the control and unbelievable speed this unit has. At least 5-6 miles per hour. My weight doesn't interfere with construction of this strong unit. It gets you to your location quickly. Easy to charge battery after usage. Easy foldable unit for travel. And easy to open in minutes.
I recommend this TravelScoot for everyone.
Thanks!"

"We have used our Scoot several times now
and are very, very pleased.
Its user can handle it independently and loves the freedom it provides -- she's off shopping right now.
Thank you,"

"I just received my scooter 2 weeks ago.
I love it.
We took on a trip and it was so easy to use and put together.
I don't use scooters because I can 't judge. But this one is easy for me to use, I was scared at first but once I got on it , I was able to take off.
My parents are older and this is just what we need, I have cerebral Palsy.
Thank you for my scooter,"

"We have just returned from our trip to Sweden, with the two TravelScoots that our daughter, Margarete Chase, purchased on our behalf. It was a wonderful trip and the little scooters really expanded our opportunities to move around and enjoy the sights over a much wider range without having to use our walkers.
Overall, the trip to Sweden and the TravelScoots were a complete success. The scooters will continue to be most helpful here at home. It is a markable devise, and was the object of amazement -- and some amusement -- in Stockholm.
Very sincerely,"
Archer Taylor
"You will recall that my wife and I visited with you on the 8th of March and purchased a TravelScoot.
We are absolutely delighted with the TravelSccot.
We have taken it on several trips since purchasing it and I found it a wonderful aid to my wife's mobility.
Thank you for developing it.
We recently took it to Europe for three weeks. We visited France, Switzerland and Germany during that period.
Of interest, prior embarking an that trip I contacted you regarding possibly increasing torque on the drive train (improving hill climbing ability) for the scooter. My wife had previously encountered problems in moving up sloping decks at yacht clubs we had visited. You sent me a higher ratio gear that I installed. With that change the scooter performed magnificently on the hills we encountered in Europe.
One of those hills was the footpath leading up to Neuschwanstein - I am confident you are familiar with this path. We also found the weight of the TravelScoot to be good. We found little difficulty in moving the TravelScoot on and off the city trams we used in, for example, Basel.
Last, let me again share our pleasure with the TravelScoot.
Respectfully,"

" I tried other scooters for her but they were too big...she is not very tall...and she felt overwhelmed. We refer to the Travelscoot as being able to do the "Fred Flintstone Stop" if she has to. She likes having that kind of control.
We had this 79 y/o lady all over The El in Chicago, downtown Chicago, in and out of the subways and elevators and this was the very first weekend she had the scooter. She really enjoys it. And of course, all of her kids and grandkids had to have a go at it, too!
She is coming to Alaska to visit for a month and the first thing she asked me was if she could bring her scooter with her!
Thanks for your help."

"I just wanted to report on my first use of my TravelScoot:
It arrived Thursday morning, 1 hour before I left. We took it out of the box, opened it long enough to get the manual out, zipped it back up and packed it in the car.
When we arrived in Arlington, VA some 7 hours later and got into our hotel room, I finally had a chance to LOOK at it.
As the batteries charged, (soon to find out that they were already pretty much charged) we got the scoot out and put it together...took maybe 10 minutes at the most.
I then took my first ride around the Hyatt Crystal City to get used to it before riding it in the huge crowds to follow the next day. Not ONE issue, except remembering to use the brakes-or at least being ready to. I used it the rest of the week-end, running it hard and showing it off.
It was much easier to use than my Revo, but I still had to leave it some places as the space between tables was tight. I began using the SLA battery and used it all week-end and it was still "in the green" when we packed it back up. I can't imagine how long the NIMH battery will last!!!
I can't tell you the feeling of freedom I now have since I have found that this is something I really can manage on my own. Thank you so much for inventing these.
I spent a lot of time talking to folks about the scoot and gave out the website a couple of times. I hope they look at it.
Well, just thought I would let you know how it went. As I have new experiences, I will send a note. I guess you get these all the time though, huh? Anyway...
Sincerely,"

"I can’t tell you the feeling of freedom I now have since I found the TravelScoot. I have told everybody that will listen about how my freedom came in a duffel bag! "

"We received the TravelScoot yesterday...it is wonderful! It will certainly provide the mobility and convenience you advertise.
It will be used for many adventures and trips by a handicapped individual. She already has a 3-wheel Pride scooter but it difficult to take on airplane trips and it heavy for road trips.
Your TravelScoot is just what we wanted...thank you, thank you. "
Terri Zammataro
"I want to let you know how thrilled I am with my Travelscoot.
My husband and I recently went to Germany to visit our daughter and son-in-law, they took us to so many places that I would never get to see without having the scooter.
It’s wonderful in the airport I went right to the plane.
Having the scooter have brought much joy and now I can keep up with everybody. A GREAT little machine!"
