I wish I could get a scooter for cost and portability, but I really need a small mid-wheel drive chair to get around the tight spaces of my condo. Unfortunately I will have to pay for this chair out of pocket because I got a larger chair through insurance a few years ago and they won't cover another one so soon. The Pride Go-Chair looks like it will be the best one for my needs. I am having trouble with Maxim Mobility not returning my calls..the providers around here are not so great in my experience.
