I have a condition that over time has, and I gather, will continue to weaken my leg muscles. I have used sticks, crutches and a wheelie, but that doesn’t help with long distances. I am then dependent on friends and family to push me in a wheelchair, which is not always practical, so I often miss out on the outing or walk.

Enough of this…I am only 59 and with an overseas trip to Greece looming, my husband and I went looking for a foldable mobility scooter.

After looking, and trying many that were too heavy or had to be pulled apart, I found my Luggie Elite.

It is red which is most important.. but it is also light enough for me to fit into the boot of my car, light enough for my husband to carry up stairs if need be, easy and quick to fold. It is as easy to pull on the support wheels as pulling a suitcase and the various coach drivers and taxi drivers we encountered, were very impressed, asking lots of questions.

Off we went to Greece, which is known for mountains and lots of steps. A good place to test out Luggie.

It was easy and quick to load into bus holds, plane holds, on and off cruise ships, onto and off ship tenders.

It was narrow enough to fit into small lifts, into any size hotel room or through the narrow cruise ship cabin doorway, the narrow paths of Mykonos, the narrow corridors of the cruise ship, narrow aisles in shops in Rhodes, Crete and the many walkways of Santorini. Luggie got me to top of the Acropolis, around the huge National Archaeological Museum and the Plaka district in Athens, around most of the ancient ruins of Olympia, Knossos on Crete, and down to John’s Grotto on Patmos. It exceeded our expectations and I did more than I thought I would have been able to. Obviously it can’t do steps, so I still need my husband with me when travelling especially so it develops teamwork.

I have a freedom and independence, I thought I would never feel again.

Luggie and I are going to have lots of adventures together.

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.

My name is Lisa, I have had MS for 16 years and the disease has predominantly affected my walking and balance so I have needed to use walkers and wheelchairs for many years. I have had a Luggie for about 2 years and it has been great. I have always wanted to remain as independent as possible and not let the MS slow me down.

The Luggie has given me more freedom and quality of life. Even with my balance difficulties I have come up with ways to get the Luggie in and out of my car by myself. I would highly recommend the Luggie to anyone. It is the most compact and portable scooter that I have seen.

“My husband and I are huge Luggie fans! We purchased our Luggie Elite to facilitate our ability to attend a very special 50 year reunion in the UK. We couldn’t have managed without it and it posed no problems on any flights and made all the difference to our enjoyment of our 6 weeks away in the UK and Queensland.

Our Luggie lives in our car, to be ready to use whenever my husband feels he can’t manage a situation, walking. We charge it in the car, from a power point in our carport. In every way, it really couldn’t be easier and is of huge assistance to our lifestyle!
