Is a scooter easy to operate?

Yes, some have said it is easy to operate once you have been show the ins and the outs, . One handed operation is possible as well... the control mechanisms are very versatile. some folks may prefer only using one hand. We will take the time to show you the ropes - the Do's and the Don'ts so no worries there.

(all the preceding depend on your ability level and condition. there are some prerequisites for usage.)

Where Can I go while on a scooter?

Well, you may go just about anywhere someone who is not using a scooter would go! keeping in mind safety, usage instructions, usage agreement and common sense. for example one cannot take it in water or the ocean or pools.

Can I take it up on the boardwalk ?

yes, - as mentioned it's users are welcomed to use it in public areas, we recommend when you are around a lot of people- for everyone's safety to go at a slower speeds. also some stores are not exactly handicap accessible in that they have narrow isles and metal clothing racks sticking out. this is often the case with some of the older stores on the Boardwalk. many just park their scooter outside, take the key with them and go in by foot for a bit or they look for a store with wider, unobstructed aisles.

What are your hours?

by appointment see link to the right in navigation pane.

Can I take it to the beach?

You can take your scooter/ manual wheelchair, up near the beach, and on handicapped accessible ramps, however we do not allow one to take the scooter directly into the soft sand, as this likely will cause the tires to spin and the scooter, for example to become stuck, Etc. . photos taken in North Wildwood, NJ, which by the way is a smaller and easier to handle beach. same with ocean city, sea isle city, and cape may! the center of wildwood's beaches are much , much larger. from the boardwalk to the water. in wildwood proper , there is a lack of beach netting or decking, so u would need another solution like the beach taxi in front of Eleanor's Gifts- i believe it was 2$ or adults and $1 for kids.

aboout 1/3 of the way up to the tp of hard packed sand dunes

If one is unable to "walk on the sand", then one may require a specially made handicapped beach surf chair. the scooter and the beach wheelchair may be just the one, two punch required to make it happen! Unlike mobility scooters- handicapped beach chairs possibly can be taken on the beach and into shallow waters with assistance. ask provider for more info.- we currently do not have any of these available , so we suggest please call the phone numbers listed below.

Many towns provide these surf chairs for free.

in fact, in many cases will bring them right to you on the beach.

Do the scooters use gasoline or oil?

the short and simple answer is no on both counts!- the scooters we have all use electricity - the same kind you would find in your house's electrical outlet. It is very safe and odor free!

How often do i have to charge it ?

The battery charger is built in and hidden from view. the cord plugs into a standard outlet.

We recommend charging it when you go to bed at night, don't worry about how long to charge it for - the on board computer/charger will shut off automatically when finished.

How long/far can I go on a single charge?

It may vary. We have had our scooters out for many hours-all day, night and still had plenty of power left! according to the manufacturers literature- You should be able to travel "up to about 25 miles" on a single charge, ( is this hyperbolic?) depending upon conditions and terrain, weight, Etc. hard flat surfaces will offer less resistance and use less power. FYI we are on call for you - so no worries!

There is a power readout dash for you to know how much power you have left. We think you will be surprised and pleased at the longevity!

How fast does the scooter go?

That is up to you, you are the boss, there is a speed dial on the control tiller ranging from 0 to 10 ( about 5 MPH)

Are they comfortable?

Yes, You betcha they are, or we would not rent them! our clients rave about the luxurious comfort and that they are just magically getting around!

I am Large person - do you have a scooter for me?

Yes, we do have heavy duty, bariatric- scooters available that can accommodate up to 450 pounds! so relax we can take care of you so you can go where you want!

We also can accommodate much smaller and lighter folks as well. We take your needs into consideration when choosing a scooter with you!

How much do they cost/ the service cost -what are your rates?

We even make house calls!
