As a Post Polio Syndrome sufferer my legs have been getting weaker every year and completely failed me on several occasions. If I have to walk for any distance my legs become very weak, especially if I am tired. I also have a problem with balance.
I am not one to let anything beat me and for the past few years, knowing my legs would only get worse, I have been looking for a suitable mobility scooter. I needed something that was easily transportable and would go anywhere. I also needed to be able to handle it myself.
I had tried two scooters that I thought might work. The first needed ramps to get it in the car and the other was a mobile chair which had to be taken apart into four pieces to transport. Neither of these worked for me.
I looked everywhere to find what I wanted without success until I found an article about the “Luggie” I was excited! My search was over.
The “Luggie” is a lightweight mobility scooter which can be easily folded but best of all I can get in and out of the car easily without assistance. This means I can take my “Luggie” and go anywhere on my own without assistance from anyone. My “Luggie” has given me back my freedom and I love it.
