Does anyone have one of these devices to help you get around easy when you need it, but don't want to use your car just to go a block or two?
My back & legs are killing me!! I can't stand or walk too long, so I broke down & ordered this this mobility scooter from Amazon. I was so tired of having to put up with an aching lower back & walking too far, so I looked into getting one of these devices to help ease the pain & stress of standing & walking for so long! Thought about getting one through my health insurance, but it would probably take way too long to do it!!!!

Most people in my building have one. They told that it helps them get around a lot. The street that I'm on has a hill, & walking up it is really a pain in the neck! It gets me winded & tired so fast that I feel like I'm out of breath!! This scooter should help make life much easier for me!! It should arrive the middle of next month. :whistling:

Good to see you again, Shermie - been wondering where you've been. I'm sorry to hear about your pain.

Didn't you buy a car fairly recently or did you decide against it?

Hi, QSis.

Yes I do have a car, & it serves me well. It works fine, but parking in the area is so scarce!! As soon as I go just down the street, the space is gone!! And it's so hard trying to get another space!! Having a mobility scooter would let me leave the car parked while I can still ride to the store or down the street without having to move the car at all. It would help save ware & tear on my back & legs. The best part is that you can bring it in your apt & charge the battery there!! Thanks. :whistling:

Where are you going to keep the scooter?
I would hope you have elevator access in your apartment building.

I understand completely! I've often wondered how you city folks ever find parking spots near your homes!

Congrats on your new scooter! It sounds like a great way to ease the strain on your back and legs, especially with that hill you mentioned. A lot of people I know swear by theirs for short trips it really makes life so much easier. I hope it arrives quickly and works well for you.

He SAID in post #8 that it arrived.
 
Yes. It arrived yesterday. Assembled it yesterday. Took it for a spin today & climbed the hill with it. Easy as pie!! Went out in the neighborhood, ran a few short errands. Only thing was that it was so cold!! We are going back into a deep freeze again. So I'll just ride it in the building until the weather gets better. It's warm & pleasant in there!!! :whistling: :bolt:
