I initially got this for my husband, but he rarely used it and I was having mobility issues as well. I found I was able to hook my garden cart to the bar on the back and used it all the time for chores. It has amazing range and I found it enabled me to continue to get around after my car went to car heaven.
There are a few things that I wish were available for it, but in no way diminishes it's worth:
1) some type of shock absorption or an option for air-filled wheels. 2) a large basket for the back for shopping.
I think I've had it for 4 years and I need a new battery. I'd say that's a pretty good track record.
