My elderly mom ordered this scooter. What do you think?

What a machine!

That's a pretty fucked way of looking at things. Some people just become disabled as they get older, and no amount of forcing themselves to walk will fix it.

At least these devices can provide some freedom to go out over being nearly completely housebound.

Yes, and just like suggestions of "lose weight" people can take that out of context and say OMG what if they have thyroid disease?!

It ultimately just misses the point though and is designed to take things offensively that wasn't intended for it.

Yeah getting old sucks, and some people are dealt better cards than others when it comes to that. Some people just end up with all sorts of health issues while others stay healthy.

So far despite my recent health problems, pretty much everything still WORKS (praise jeebus!) ... it's just that NEARLY everything also HURTS while working now and NOT in a good way!

All kidding aside ... I think Mom should have gone with this one!

Personally I'd go with flames and black wheels but they offer silver too!

(might need a lift-gate to get it in the back of the family-truckster though!)

Seriously though something like that would be great to go in bush trails and what not. Can still enjoy the outdoors.

I dont know, but, make sure whatever she gets will meet her needs.

How far will she travel?
Will she be using it on the lawn/grass? what about dirt or gravel roads?


My MIL has severe arthritis and both of her knees need replacement, but surgery scares her. She moved to FL to get away from winters, she can still walk, but, she cant go very far, a scooter lets her get out and live her life.

She likes to ride around on her lawn, so she got one with some pretty chunky tires/bigger wheels. Not sure of brand/make/model or any of that.
