i have a scooter and it has to be charged every wk.
if the charge runs out and the batteries die they can't be recharged.
my batteries (2) run $300.

just last yr my charge switch was bad and they ran down. 6 mo old batteries and i had to buy new ones. OY. and they're supposed to last 1-3 yrs.

also, you need to think about how you're going to use this scooter.
for instance, my van has a lift that will lift the scooter into the car so i can use it shopping if i want.

there's a lot to consider. but if it's a good almost new decent scooter they can run a couple thousand $$$.

cindy knows a lot about scooter.
