" ...  It came right to my door the day after ordering it, and although the assembly is not quite as easy as it is made out to be, watching the video instructions several times made it easy enough.  ...  "

" ...  The knee pad is comfortable. ... It's not too expensive for keeping weight off my foot, and it certainly beats crutches, but you have to be very careful using it on uneven sidewalks (especially down hill) such as when traveling along city blocks.  ...  "

comment
" ...  The seat fits snugly once it’s on and the extra cushioning is lovely, and the memory foam cradles my knee and keeps it more firmly on the pad. ... The mounting hardware for the basket does not fit on the GO scooter well - it’s mean for a larger diameter tube. ... We used pieces of craft foam as shims to try to make it fit, and it stayed in place for about a week before it slid down several inches to the joint in the steering stem, and it seems fine where it is now.  ...  "
comment
" ...  A little bit of adjustment and holding up well.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The video helped but I wasn't able to lock all the pieces together myself. ... Luckily, I only have to lower the handle bars for it to fit in the back of my medium sized SUV. ... Pieces lock tightly together and feels secure.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Another consideration if you plan to use a scooter outside much is to get soft rubber or air-filled tires.  ...  "

" ...  It has a super smooth Glide and folds up amazingly small. ... It is also relatively light, and I get it into my van relatively easily. ... But this is the trade-off to have such a lightweight and portable unit.  ...  "

comment
" ...  The scooter is a nice compact size, and looks sporty, but keep finding that a fixed brake would be very helpful.  ...  "
