Walgreens.com has a cheap, lightweight, easy to dismantle scooter. its about $600 which is half what the cheapest I could find was.

My mother had a wonderful scooter, and my druggie sister used to claim her back hurt, and would ride it everywhere when my mother wasnt on it. She was going on vacation somewhere and asked to borrow it for the long weekend, and when she brought it back, it was more dead than alive, the plug had been pulled out of the charger, and the seat was off its hinges. it was like it was in a wreck! She felt no shame, and made no offers to replace it or fix it. I went to Walgreens.com and got my mom that light weight thing, and she love it!

you could also go to Goodwill and ask them about obtaining one of the donated wheelchairs (power and/or manual). It requires a Rx from your doctor, but the cost is free. You would be surprised at the quality of powerchairs they get donated to them - and it is yours if you ask fo rit and your MD says you would benefit from it.

Thanks Jane, I'm ok for money, so I wouldn't use a charity. There are too many people who are in need and I wouldn't want to take their mobility devise.

That sounds like a good idea that if it doesn't work for you then it goes back. Seriously, I do hope it works out great for you

Way to go Sally! its a nice little scooter, and easy to dimantle. Each part is lightweight and easy to take apart to pop in your trunk.

Im glad you found one!

Get yourself something really nice if you can. What is more important than your mobility? Other than your men and chocolate?
