I’ve had my Luggie mobility scooter for about 15 months now and I absolutely love it. I’ve named it Zippy, it’s a red one and everyone knows that red ones go faster! The battery lasts really well and on particularly long days I take the charger and someone will always let me plug it in while I have a meal or a coffee.
Before I got Zippy my life was becoming more and more restricted, I felt like my horizons were shrinking, but Zippy has given me the most marvellous freedom. I feel like I’ve got my life back.
I can easily manage getting it in and out of the car by myself, it not very heavy, but it’s wonderful how often someone will come to help me, I’ve had some lovely encounters that way. I go on trains and ferries into the city to meet friends, I no longer dread going somewhere new or to big places like shopping centres or hospitals because I know I can get around. Last year I went on a cruise to New Zealand and shore excursions were such fun because I was only restricted by steps. The staff on every kind of transport I’ve been on have been so helpful and a lot of other people are friendly and kind instead of just being self absorbed and in a rush.
I did a lot of looking around before I chose the Luggie. The way it folds up, the size, weight and manoeuvrability were major factors in my choice. I then priced them everywhere I could and Steve at Ezy Commuter was the best. As well as that he was so helpful and everything went so smoothly that I am happy to recommend this company.
