My independence means to much for me for my image to get in the way. I would much rather be in a scooter than have to depend on family members who aren't getting any younger push this 200 pound woman around in a manual wheel chair. So when we go on trips I always rent one. Insurance bought me a manual one many years ago and it has been used a lot and not just by me. But my husband doesn't like to browse when we travel. You just quickly move from one area to another. When my Mom died she was so proud to leave me her scooter since we are both left handed but I do't like to use it, in fact I never have except up and down the street to keep the battery OK. I like the kind that has the basket on it and I can swivel the seat around. This is the four wheel kind that looks like a chair.
