Are you looking for a boot scooter that is easy to use, manoeuvrable and able to cope with a larger person? Who saysa you can’t have fun?
Hi My name is Mike, and I am 6’2 and 26 Stone, I have serious mobility issues, but I have struggled to find a portable scooter that can take my weight. This is my honest review, and if it’s of any interest, I am ordering one for myself.
If so the Spartan 9 could be for you, It is unique in the design as it is very easy to assemble and the scooter breaks down into individual components, to help making it easier to fit in the car.
It even has a bit of suspension, as the seat has two posts to give better stability, but both posts also have suspension springs to give a more comfortable ride. It also uses Pneumatic tyres again to make the ride more comfortable.
It has a top speed of 4mph, which is ideal for a pavement scooter. Easy to take apart and put together. It can run on either SLA batteries or Lithium, easy to switch between either. Comfortable seat. One feature that stands out is the manoeuvrability. It is a four-wheel scooter but the front wheels are next to each other, this gives tighter turning circle, making it easy to get out of tricky situations.
One other feature it has which is handy for people who are not use to Mobility scooter is it has a thing called a potentiometer; this activates when the scooter realises your turning. It slows the scooter down automatically, so you do not tip or lose control. You can disengage this feature very easily once you are use to driving the scooter.
It is not the lightest scooter by any means but, it is strong and robust. The design is simple and relatively basic. This makes it less gimmicky but practical.
