My first electric scooter was a Pride.....easy to take apart and fit into a trunk for someone other then yourself.. I was not really thinking much more then vanity when I purchased the scooter instead of what I have now. After a few years with that I researched better and decided upon the Quickie P200 which is like comparing the most expensive quality automoble to a Chevy..... You can go to the Sunrise Medical website http://www.dynopower.freeserve.co.uk/homepages/wheelchair.htmto see Quickies and compare the various models that would be best suited to your needs. This company is run by folks who are all disabled and in the Know. They are each one made specifically for you according to ALL of your many measurements and needs....These come with two batterys instead of one so they are much more powerful. It is also a electric chair instead of a scotter which allows me to get in closer to tables for cards or tight spaces in stores etc. It turns on a dime and is much more manuverable then the scooters. They are also built alot sturdier for tougber terraines so I can go more places...Quickies are the wheelchair that is in all the races nationwide with those fabulous colors....I feel alot more in control and secure with this chair then my other scooter. When I cross a street it has alot more get up and go.......There's nothing wrong with my Pride Scooter, its just not like the one I have now.... I'm blessed to have top of the line Ins that covered the cost on both of these. The first one goes for around $3,000.00 I think and my Quickie is around 8-10 thousand depending on where you shop.... I sure wish I could find some place that would cover me for a wheelchair lift as this would help me be much more independent.....It just doesn't make sense to me that they'll cover a chair and not a lift.....
