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!
