i have tried and disliked it in a couple of showrooms. The strap that serves for back support is inadequate and uncomfortable. Even though it’s pitched as halfway between a disability aid and a personal mobility innovation, it looks depressingly medical - and antiquated, at that. Nothing offsets...

This looks like an amazing bit of kit. 10 degrees gradient, full recline, all the head and neck support you could possibly want. https://www.wheelfreedom.com/products/sunrise-medical-quickie-q700-m-powerchair £7.5k, but at 8mph it should be a more than capable getaway vehicle if you chose to...

@Kitty your advice on all this has been fantastic, so helpful.

http://www.bikehike.co.uk/mapview.php Hopefully interesting to scooterists wME: this site tells you the gradient of any stretch of road, useful when planning routes for mobility scooters that have gradient limits. Turns out I can get to the step free tube station a mile away without exceeding...

So to be fair to Wheelfreedom, I absolutely loved the Atto Sport. Super comfortable once adding the optional cushion, passed the glove and wheelybin tests, and although it tipped onto two wheels slightly when subjected to top-speed slaloms on adverse cambers, it felt reasonably stable under...

That’s interesting. We discussed our criteria on the phone before booking the appointment (it’s an hour away from us) so to be fair we were rather pushing them to suggest a model, but once they’d settled on a recommendation (Atto Sport) they seemed quite fixated on it. Chimes with your experience.

I have two hours booked with Wheelfreedom in Chessington tomorrow, so this is super timely. I was already taking the Chief Carrying Things Officer but will take gloves and a wheelybin too.

I wonder whether “stress reduction and lifestyle instructions” cause more or less harm when they devolve downwards from low-cost clinicians to even cheaper online platforms. They’re probably less likely to be followed, but even less likely to be appropriate to the individual biomedical...

Thanks, some great advice there! I was leaning towards three wheelers because I used one from Brent Cross’ shopmobility, and I liked the tight turning circle. Will bear your caution in mind and think about stability on kerbs as well. Mrs Loom has the final say on ease of assembly and removal...

I'm thinking of getting a scooter, and there seems to be a huge trade-off between portability and comfort. There are things like the Atto Sport or the eFoldi which my wife or an Uber driver could reasonably be asked to lift in and out of a boot, but they seem pretty flimsy. Anything robust...

Only eight months, which I'd class as mild/moderate - outrageous evasion of all domestic responsibilities leaves me able to work close to full time from home, but walking anything more than 150 yards or so is impossible. Not sure if such a short duration is useful for your analysis, or an...
