Hi everyone, Just here as I am new to using a mobility scooter, and need all the advice I can get,

I am 80 yrs old, and the only way I can get about is with my mobility scooter

I did not have a lot of cash, so I bought a cheap scooter a Greenpower JH500

Not very quick and it seems to becoming a buy cheap buy twice type of thing it is fully charged but still slow, Is it possible to make it a little quicker, ( I do not want a motorbike just a bit quicker to take me through the woods towards town

Thank you all Jack

    I just want to get to my family four miles away across the woods, so far taking me half an hour each way, I do not want to race through the town centre,

    Lots of people say they can do 15kmh off road, but I have no idea how they do it One company offers to do it for £100 and it only takes five minutes

    Oh well I do not think it would be safe to buy a Harley Davison Trike at 140 mph aged 80

    Hi! There is a risk that they will only be able to reprogram the speed display, increasing it on the speedometer, without changing the actual speed.

    I agree, though I live over four miles away from my family through woods and it woud be easier if I could get there earlier, I am not a racing nut I am 80 years old so thank you for your advice
