As people grow older they not only lose the stamina for work, but also start losing the strength in their arms and legs. Arthritis and other disabilities may also afflict the elderly and this hampers their mobility and the ability to lead a normal, healthy life. People with disabilities like coronary heart diseases, or weak lungs too cannot travel or move around without assistance. These people cannot drive cars or motorcycles, or walk for long distances. The solution is to buy a mobility scooter like Go Go Elite or Go Go Ultra, which is lightweight, but can carry their weight, and some things too. The Elite and Ultra mobility scooters are manufactured by Pride mobility and both the scooters have many features, which make them a favorite among users.
The Go Go Ultra model has been redesigned and has been introduced in the market as the Go-Go Ultra X Portable travel scooter. The new frame design allows the user to disassemble the scooter into five easily manageable pieces. This enables the user to easily transport the scooter to another place and reassemble it again for use. The new design not only allows normal disassembly, but can also be disassembled with one hand, all due to the new latching mechanism included in the design of the frame. The new frame design also includes a drop-in battery box to enable easy management of the battery. The batteries can be taken out for charging as and when required. The batteries are included free with the scooter and are FAA approved. The seat is in fact a swivel chair and can be swiveled around to easily get off or on the scooter. The swivel chair seating is front-frame mounted for stability. With solid flat-free tires, there is no chance of a flat tire problem. The steering tiller too is easily adjustable thus making it an easy ride for an elder person or people with disabilities. With free shipping, free batteries, and free one-year service, the Go Go Ultra is an instant hit with elderly people.
The Go Go Elite is an upgradation of the Ultra X portable model. The Elite, like the Ultra comes with 3 wheels and 4 wheels, and has a drive range of 10 miles on fully charged 12 AH batteries, but offers 25 miles drive range with optional 17 AH batteries, which is not available with the Ultra X. this mobility scooter has a better weight carrying capacity of 260 pounds and the price includes 3 sets of changeable color panels in different colors. With the Off-board battery chargers, the battery can be charged easily with standard electric power outlets. For the elderly and people with disabilities, the 25 miles drive capacity on a single charge is a boon as they can move around their neighborhood without worrying about running out of gas or having to recharge after a short ride to the park.
Driving a car to work or for shopping or visiting relatives and friends may not be possible for the elderly, due to the weakening of arms and legs, weak eyesight, loss of hearing, and even arthritis. Even a walk to the park or around the garden or backyard may be problematic, leading to dependence on others for assistance. If elderly people live with their children, they have to depend on them to drive them to the park, or for shopping, or visiting the doctor, and sometimes, even to move around in the garden or backyard. If the elderly live alone, it becomes a bigger problem as loss of mobility and the ability to walk or drive a car is a hindrance to daily activities. People suffering from arthritis or other disabilities, which inhibit mobility, can use electric mobility scooters like the Go Go ultra and Go Go Elite, to move freely and be independent.
An elderly person or an individual with a disability or handicap can easily drive the scooter and move around by using the throttle and the tiller or handlebars. The throttle to manage speed is hand controlled and requires very little pressure, which makes it very easy and convenient for any individual. As the maximum speed attained with these scooters is around 5 miles per hour, there is no chance of an accident occurring due to speeding or losing control over the throttle. The scooters are designed and built for safety, comfort, and ease of use. The scooters can even be disassembled to take along on a vacation in the car and reassembled easily in minutes for use at the vacation spot. As the scooters are battery powered, they do not need gasoline, and the batteries just need to be charged with the charger unit through a standard electric power supply unit. Being light in overall weight, even with the 12 AH and optional 17 AH batteries, the Go Go ultra and Go Go Elite, are easy to manage and maintain.
The seating of the scooters is not like the conventional scooters and the mobility scooters are not designed and built like the conventional two-wheeled scooters. In fact, the mobility scooters are built with three and four wheels for better stability and ease of use. The seating is a swivel seat and can be adjusted for driving comfort. The scooters are also fitted with headlights and backlights for driving in the evening and also include a basket on the handlebars to carry a few things like groceries or even your puppy. Although the Go Go ultra and the Go Go Elite weigh around 92 pounds, they can carry a maximum weight of 260 pounds. The mobility scooters are reliable and well engineered and give years of problem free service. But the best part of these scooters is the Independence and mobility that they provide to the elderly and people with disabilities.
