KEVIN I PURCHASED A PRIDE GO GO ELITE SCOOTER IN APRIL. I LOVE IT. I HAVE USED IT FOR SHOPPING, AND ATTENDING OUTSIDE FUNCTIONS LIKE OUR STATE FAIR. IT IS EASILY DISASSEMBLED AND WOULD FIT IN THE TRUNK OF ANY CAR. THE HEAVIEST ITEM IS THE BATTERY WHICH IS 28 LBS. MY DAUGHTER CAN TAKE IT APART IN ABOUT A MINUTE. I BOUGHT MINE NEW FOR $1300.00, BUT YOU CAN ALSO GET THEM USED. A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE BOUGHT A USED ONE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. I DID NOT WANT A POWER WHEELCHAIR BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO HEAVY AND I ONLY USE MY SCOOTER WHEN I AM OUT NOT IN THE HOUSE. IF YOU GOOGLE POWER SCOOTERS, YOU WILL HAVE MANY LISTED.

I cannot use a manual wheelchair because my hands are bad. Would you mind posting which chair you use, what you like or don't like about it, is it good for indoor or outdoor use or both? I am considering a Pride Go-Chair mainly because it is small and comes apart for travel. (note: this is not the same as a Go-Go Scooter) Also, is anyone familiar with the wheelchair provider Maxim Mobility in New Haven, CT? Good or bad? Thanks! Kevin
