I have the current Vive model of this and overall we are fairly happy with it. It comes apart easily & the heaviest part is the battery at 34 lbs, which is good. Truthfully, we find it narrow and agile in tight spaces. Cons for us: my thumb gets tired of being on the throttle. Our only real problem with it: the battery does not seat well at all when you're trying to reassemble the scooter. Takes numerous tries for my husband to get it to fit right. It just doesn't want to get seated in its spot tho he does it as demonstrated. Husband sits on the edge of the SUV's trunk to assemble and take it apart. He's tall enough to not need to sit on the floor.😊
The Vive scooters are ok budget scooters. I had a guy visiting Vegas today have his break on him (7 beep code) which turned out to be the controller. luckily the scooter is under warranty, but this guy has to find a local dealer in CA who can work on them. Sometimes a major component like a controller or motor/brake/transaxle goes on them can make them too expensive to repair for some people and out way the cost of the scooter. Oh Yeah, those battery packs are a pig to get seated right, such a bad design that Pride dropped on the Ultra when they designed the Ultra X
Good question! To be honest I see more pride scooters due to the popularity but it's usually down to how you treat them as to how quick they break. Out of all the Pride stuff the LX was the worst and the S19 Pride folding scooter was the fewest repairs. Golden stuff is usually from being treated badly but the early versions were not as well made as the versions they are doing now. Drive, well, just really cheap and poorly designed with a lot of after thought things especially with the Spitfire scout. The wheels are made of concrete, the seats were made so thin and the battery packs kept jumping up every time you went over any kind of bump stopping the scooter dead in its tracks. To remedy this, they put plastic spaces under the battery packs and a seat post clamp to hold the battery packs down. The front to rear connectors always get bent out of shape and are susceptible to dirt and corrosion causing connection problems with break and motor errors.
is there any motor or important differences between a Cebihy and a Vive brand or are they the same. prices are different ,but the pictures look like they are the same.
Question: I'm a little person (4 ft, 7 in. tall) and I use the junior size TravelScoot scooter. It does not have reverse capability; can the control module be replaced with one that would give me that option?

That back pouch is for your registration, insurance and your wheelchair ♿️ license 😂 lmao
Thats about all you can get in there lol, but there is more room in the back pouch than there is foot room on the floorboard.
A good review Ian, for something not that impressive. Say hi to Jenny and be lucky.
Thanks Clive.
What mobility scooter has the fewest repairs ?

Most of these scooters look the same but might have different wiring connectors which would make them incompatible with each other.
Question: I'm a little person (4 ft, 7 in. tall) and I use the junior size TravelScoot scooter. It does not have reverse capability; can the control module be replaced with one that would give me that option?
I'm sure it can be done by switching the polarity of the positive and negative some how.
Where did you get the scooter you reviewed?
A customer traded it in.
thanks for the Review i would not buy one thoe will stick with my shoprider
Oh yeah not the scooter for me either but I get it sometimes budget dictates.
