If we have scooters to rent in the mall, I am not aware of them.

Since I walk but just 100 feet would be exhausting, I convinced my MS doctor to give me a prescription for an electric mobility device - either a scooter or a chair. The object was to get insurance to cover some of the cost.

DH and I were investigating one that would break apart into pieces so that it could be put in a car or trunk of a car.

There were several to choose from. We went to a mobility store to look at both and see how easy it was to break apart and if it would fit in our vehicle. Plus we were interested as to whether I could put it together which would give me more independence.

Both were doable. We picked the chair, only because the footprint was smaller. I never was really able to put it together, it was just too much work for me, wore me out. However, my DH and DD can put it together in about one minute or so.

It allows me to get out a lot. Goes for 8 miles on the battery but if I take my plug in cord, I just use electricity from a restaurant and have a eating break.
