How best to carry this?

I would note there are scooters suitable for 'off the road' and 'offroad' use , for many years gf's father used secondhand scooters to go around the cart tracks on the farm, at no time did he purchase a 'offroad' scooter.

What about this. Only 29kg and you can take it on a plane. Seems pretty cheap. Maybe too cheap of course.

I bought one very similar Barry a few months ago, (same design rebranded) at that price they are crap, with virtually no control on anything but really flat ground malls etc, at that price the joystick is a really cheap one with no finesse I sent it back for a refund.

A mobility scooter is the best thing I find, It has far more control & mine (https://www.activemobility.co.uk/mo...Oey4gCnfeLD_54acDL4sU8UOlNtL6pghoCCgsQAvD_BwE) will go most places and even does a steepish hill, if it had rubber tyres instead of plastic ones it would do more but ground clearance kills it, a wheelchair is more for people who have more restricted mobility.

Simon, thinking laterally if you had a PVC, you can get a ramp to fit a larger scooter into the side loading door space or a swing out arm with a winch on it, you would lose a bit of kitchen space but it would work well I think.


Just chucking ideas out there.


I have a rope hoist, but there are 12v winches too with remotes.

I thought it sounded too good to be true Kev. Maybe a better version out there that weighs similar?
 
I just checked to make sure, but this is the one I bought. the build quality was really good, but it was unstable and the joystick was stiff to use so you over compensate making it impossible to be accurate.
