Great little scooter!

After trying three other scooters two of which were supposed to be easily transportable I finally have one that is. I love this very sturdy but light weight scooter. So far I have given it test drives on grass, cement and big rocky gravel. Will not do the big rocky gravel or grass unless you get a running start and don't stop! I took it on a bayou nature walk in Monroe LA, it did great on the slat wood walkway, packed dirt, and hard pack gravel. Most scooters stop when you release the throttle, this one does not, you must use the bicycle style hand brake. Unlike other scooters, it does not have the turtle and hare fast or slow settings, it is totally up to the driver to control the speed. Easy to remove lithium battery can be charged on board or off. Love the pull out rack on the back for a suitcase, doggie carrier, groceries, etc. As much as I love this scooter if you are tall; have long legs, I do not think you would be comfortable at all. I raised the handle bar up pretty much all the way. Mine has the small seat but you can get it with two seats larger than this. The battery holds a charge well. I used it in the demo video, then it sat on the back of my scooter nearly a month before I took it to the bayou. It still had a full charge and after two challenging nature trails it only went down one of the green lights, still had tons of juice if I wanted to keep going. Update 9/18/2019 Having owned Ruby for several years here's the good and bad of it. She is sturdy, light weight, fast, but don't believe the ads, she struggles and fails on any surface not hard. I got her to take in my RV because I wanted to be able to do trails, but pretty much she can only do cement paths or hard pack dirt with very little debris. She developed a real annoying high pitch squeak, think it's around the axle, but the old girl still runs fast. Her tires are worn so that might contribute to her lack of pulling power up hills. She now needs a new battery, about 500.00. That's my debate, 500 for an old girl, or find something else. I only use the scooter about 15 days a year because it doesn't do trails and I am able to walk short distances using a cane. I think 2,000 was too much for the use I got out of her, but she did get me from the parking lot to Old Faithful and back; a distance I could not have walked.

I was hard pressed to find a mobility scooter that was lightweight, foldable, able to go on a plane, and good speed. The first Triaxe that arrived did not assemble properly and had some obvious manufacturing defects, so it had to be replaced. I am a collie breeder and since I am unable to walk very far, I need the scooter not only for airports and parks, but also to exercise my dogs, able to keep up with them at a fast trot. Most mobility scooters are real "dogs", plodding along at 4.5 mph. The Triaxe goes 10 or 11 mph, which sometimes feels like you need a helmet! Wheeeee!The Triaxe seemingly offered all these features, and for the most part it works, with one big problem: unable to manage inclines. My neighborhood is built on gentle hills, and after a few months my TSA-approved battery just gave up. It is supposed to be able to carry up to 350 lbs. I weigh about 190, so it should work, but even a low hill (pavement) produces the yellow light. I am ordering the SLA battery and hoping it has more power. The batteries are VERY PRICEY, about $600 each, and my first battery failed after only 8 months of light use. While the scooter carries a 1 year warranty, the battery's is only 6 months. Also my headlight failed after just a few months - something is wrong with the wiring and I'm not clever enough to fix it - so I bought aftermarket battery operated bright LED head and tail lights for it, which work better anyway.All in all a very useful little scooter, but I think the manufacturer needs to tweak its dependability and also look at quality control.

I have multiple sclerosis and sometimes have limited mobility. I purchased this scooter because after watching the video, I thought it would do everything I needed. It was light weight (50 lbs), could carry things around with basket on front and luggage rack on back. It will not work on any surfaces that are not solid. The video shows it stopping and going on grass so I took it outside and tried to ride it around my yard. I was stuck immediately! It has a great turning radius and love the extra speed and long battery life but do not try putting it in reverse on the carpet, it barely moves. I decided to keep it for around the house and to visit the zoo and boardwalk, which are all hard surfaces. I am unhappy with my purchase but if I return it to enhance mobility, there is a 20% restocking fee and you have to return it within 7 days. They don't tell you this when you purchase the scooter. Make sure this is what you need before spending the $2,000. Oh and the so called travel cover that is "free"??, is nothing more than a storage cover as the wheels will not move when it is on.

I purchased this scooter directly from Enhance Mobility. The shipping was slow - took a week to get. They failed to send the keys. Took another week to get keys. It says it has a max weight of 350 lbs. Not true. It barely moves with me on it and the tires look like they are about to burst. The welding looks shabby to me. Wont climb hills. Barely moves in reverse. I wanted to return it but the require a 20% restocking fee. Also, to replace the battery, it's $500. I failed to do my research before buying this. I wish I had. DO your research and don't waste your money.
