Just a quick note in case anyone else is looking for the same kind of scooter.
Shoprider Valencia arrived on Wednesday. Came fully assembled and should have been warned that it would require assistance to help the driver. OH couldn't help, but driver and I managed to get the 75+kg box out of the van and manhandle it into the garden, luckily just beside where the van stopped. Should have paid the extra to have the 'accompanied delivery option'.
OH is very pleased with it. It is rugged enough to cope with the park and can dismantle to fit in car. Splits into various parts if necessary - once you have taken off the seat and the battery pack, the tiller folds down and the frame separates into a front and a back section. Parts are heavy but manageable. Our car is a small one (Hyundai i10) so had to put one half of back seat down.
We're off to Aviemore later this month for our annual holiday and are looking forward to going on the numerous walks again - good paths, but just too rough for the Wispa.
It looks huge beside our Wispa, but OH says it is so comfortable. Lots of size adjustments can be made. However we are going to keep the Wispa for short shopping trips and, if necessary, train and bus travel as Valencia doesn't fit the size regulations. Luckily there's spare space in the garage for both.
Glad you're happy with it OP. Hope your O/H enjoys it for as long as he did the Wispa.
