    No matter what the price do not buy from b et ter. L I f e. The most hideous customer service ever, plenty of people have complained about them on here and other forums.

    Yes, I put the link in just as they had the specification up front on their web page, and not buried within a pdf which burbled on about everything. No recommendation either express or implied.

    In my experience too the arms on the seat really do get in the way when you're trying to get it in and out the car, so if you don't need them, don't put them on.

    Looking at all these scooters and thinking "That's not how I would do it" and "Wow - that's expensive." I think I have an opportunity for when I stop working. Maybe something like a La-Z-Boy with wheels and a motor...

    Hoping you get the scooter you want. It will be great to minimise the falls...
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
