Vive 4 Wheel Mobility Scooter - Electric Powered Wheelchair Device - Compact Heavy Duty Mobile for Travel, Adults, Elderly - Long Range Power Extended Battery with Charger & Basket

I mostly purchased this scooter for traveling. We vacation frequently in the Florida Keys and I have a difficult time getting around the Miami airport. I have used it about 3 times now. I have had absolutely no problem taking it on Sun Country Airlines. I have not tried other airlines. The airline usually puts a tag on it at the gate. I drive it right up to the door of the airplane and leave it there while staff take it to store it below the airplane. When we get to our destination, staff retrieve it for me and it's waiting in the same area that I dropped it off. There is no charge for transporting the scooter, but the airline would like a few days' notice that you are bringing it with you. I did research videos online regarding taking a mobility scooter on airplanes so there is information out there for you. Typically, they will ask you what the weight, height, and width of the scooter is and what type of battery. Regarding rental cars, just make sure to have some extra room in back of vehicle for transport. We stick to renting SUVs. It is easy for two people to lift it into the vehicle without taking it apart. I have had no problems with the battery. Although I bring the charging cable with me (for the week), I have never had to recharge it while on vacation. This makes it extremely easy for me using it for long distances which I have trouble walking. Also, very easy to operate. Definitely a good buy for me. I hope this review is helpful for those wishing to take it on flights.

Very pleased with our purchase...my husband uses this everyday all day...he is dependent on this to get around... product has been excellent, we are over a year using this scooter....excellent purchase and customer service is absolutely the best! No issues with our purchase but we did contact the company to ask a question and the response was quick and helpful. Our issue was resolved and it was nice to know the support and help was there if needed.

It was easy to assemble and has given my husband a great chance to be more active and is light weight so I can get it in and out of our vehicle.

Live Saving! This arrived quickly and was super easy to get set up! The shipping box was a little intimidating; but was perfectly packed to keep it protected in shipment. When I first started unpacking it I thought that it smelled of cigarette smoke. After I had it in my car for a couple of days the smell transferred to my car. I realized it was not a smell of cigarette smoke that I was smelling it was the smell of the leather seat and the rubber from the tires. The smell subsided with in a couple of days.I have joint and muscle issues as well as breathing issues requiring oxygen. My portable oxygen concentrator fits perfectly in the basket or on the deck between my feet if I need to use the basket to carry other items.This assembles and disassembles quick and easy and fits perfectly in the back of my Chevy Trax- just what I was looking for! With my issues I can easily put it together/take apart and get it in my car in less than 5 minutes.It runs at the perfect speed to get me where I need to go. It steers easily and turns well!I love the color - I got the blue- am sad that I scratched it the first time I put it in the car by dropping the seat on one of the fenders. :( May hit the auto parts store to see if I can get some touch up paint to fix my screw up!The seat is super comfortable and the adjustable arm rests are easy to adjust or leave off if I don't want to mess with them (reduces weight of the seat section)Personally I think the battery feels like weighs more than the rear section which is what they say is the heaviest part.I like that I can leave the scooter in my car and just bring the battery in to charge. I also have a power inverter in my car that I can plug the charger into and charge it in the car using the charging cord that came with it. It would be nice if it had a car charger- but this is easy enough to make do with the power inverter.Thank you for including 2 keys for it and an extra knob. I will be looking for another pin for the seat to add to the key chain that came with the extra key, just in case I lose the pin.The pin that attaches the seat takes a little getting use to as it makes the seat feel a little wobbly and unstable. Initially I felt like I was going to fall off the scooter this got better after using it and adjusting to the feel. The swivel seat is great and easy to use!One thing that I am not that impressed with is how loud the beeps are when you turn the scooter on. I was in a hospital waiting room and the sound echoed so loudly that others in the waiting room commented. I also forgot to shut it off and the alarm started sounding. It was loud enough that the people working the desk immediately thought it was an alarm in the hospital it was embarrassing and frightening.One thing that doesn't show up in the instruction book is that the constant "screaming alarm" means that it is in Neutral! I tried everything when I first set it up to figure out why it would sound the alarm as soon as it was turned on. Seriously began thinking I was going to have to figure out how to put it back in the box and ship back! It was very annoying with it screaming to try to count the "beeps" to figure out what the actual alarm was. It was just an accident that I figured out that it was in neutral.-1 star for the loudness of the alarm/beeping and the wobbly feeling seat.If you are struggling with mobility, this scooter is just what is needed to help increase mobility and allow you to get going again. I am so thankful to have it!
