Which Mobility Scooter?

IMO its not the scooter that is the problem but the person driving it.
Some of them seem to think that they have a god given right to barge down a shopping aisle forcing anyone else to jump aside or be hit.
They dont ask, say "excuse me can I get past" etc when someone is stood looking at something, like an able bodied person would do - they just try to barge past.

That said, I have one for my MIL that's been sat outside for the past year because it needs new batteries that neither of us can afford.

Apparently the Meta is not suitable.

Still looking for something suitable.

Bought a TGA Breeze S4 with canopy off ebay.
