(Part 1) And the journey begins!
I am 73 and have serious walking issues (3 operations and still debilitating pain). I have had a couple of boot scooters, and currently have a TGA Breeze S4. This is a heavy duty scooter, with good batteries, suitable for long journeys. I decided I needed something a bit more 'modern' and more suitable for all-terrain.
Though the TGA Breeze is ok, I felt I needed a scooter that may be less heavy. I bought a Pride Ranger 2, which is pretty much a quad bike. This was a 2nd hand unit with 14 day 'cooling off' period. I instantly noticed it was very noisy. Though the speed went up to 15 mph ,(illegal), it was obvious that a previous owner has "adjusted" the speed limiter. Noise from the motors was unbearable. I contacted the scooter dealer and asked them to take it back. They agreed without any hassle, to be collected 23 May 2025.
I decided to look at GREEN POWER ZT4. It is a similar style to the Pride Ranger but a little smaller and much lighter. I put in a bid on eBay for a ZT4 and as I write, I am awaiting the outcome. Take a look at my next post (Part 2) when I get the result about my Dream Machine - ZT4.
