My report on my new Hero, by Shoprider, Scooter from Walgreens. $499+Tax..free shipping,

I love it for me, but if I were any more disabled, I wouldn't be able to use it. It's very light and tips too easily. It hasn't tipped on me yet but tried to.

I love the swivel seat, as it makes it so much easier to transfer to potty, chair or wherever and the seat is wider and softer. I am still able to lift my legs and even put my legs out on the floor, to steady myself, if necessary.

I haven't tried it on my ramp yet, as my ramp has an 80 degree turn and it's kinda steep at the end, so I don't want to try it alone. I'll try it Sunday with DD here.

It has a super better turning radius, but because of that, it can be a little unsteady when turning. On my wood laminate floors, it wants to slide to the side, if I make too sharp of a turn.

The tires are small and don't have a lot of grip on my slick floors. The motor is powerful, which I love, but I keep it on slow inside the house, which is still a little too fast for sharp turns.

If you are not, at all, sure on you feet, then I wouldn't recommend it for you, but if you are, it's a terrific little scooter.
