Question : Looking For Recommendation On Power Mobility Device (PMD) – Micro-Portable Electric Power Scooter?
I will be getting my father’s Power Mobility Device (PMD) – Electric Power Chair for my personal use IF my father gets a new Electric Power Chair. My father’s PMD is not portable.
I will be buying a Power Mobility Device (PMD) – micro-portable Electric Power Scooter within 1 to 3 months due to mobility-impairment and pain. I need a micro-portable Electric Power Scooter that I can put in my motor vehicle to take with me wherever I go.
The question that I want to ask is this.
1. Which brand(s) of micro-portable Electric Power Scooter(s) is highly recommended?
Thank you.

I’ve posted this info before…
I use a Pride Travel Elite GoGo. It is durable, fast, and comes apart easily. The battery lasts long on its charge and mine are now 5 years old. The arms come off. The seat is padded and waterproof (I prefer removable cloth). It comes in a 3 and 4 wheeled version. I have the 3 and find it fairly stable except on uneven slope. You can have back up batteries, which I don’t have now, but plan to have. I paid $ 900 for mine and they seems to be the average price for it.
Its a good basic lightweight scooter and fits in the back of my Ford Focus hatch with 4 passengers.
