Wondering if anyone with IS or Sacriolititis or other related illness and who doesn't drive or have access to a vehicle,uses a mobility scooter or power chair?
I am getting a travel mobility scooter (it breaks down into five pieces for a car trunk) to be delivered tomorrow. I am so looking forward to the new mobility I'll have. I've never driven so this will truly be my own little car.

Hello...I bought a motorised wheelchair last year thinking I could zap around my home and garden unaided. Gosh I was wrong. The handset for speed seems stuck on "turbo"...no matter what I try it still zooms too fast.
I have crashed into walls and doors and now it sits in my office unused. I do wish I could master it as it has enormous potential for freedom...but I can't. I hope that you have more success than I did...otherwise use a "helmet and body armour'..lol

Oh dear! Perhaps there's a flaw in the joystick. Have you called the company here you bought Speedy Gonzalez? Or perhaps there's a mechanic in your town who could tune down his bionics! I love mine so far. It goes from Turtle to Rabbit because of the rain I've only had a chance to give it one test drive arounfpd our mobile home park. It's wonderful! I do hope you try to find a solution to your chair's hyperness so that you two can become rolling friends.
