I saw a lady in a scooter the other day and it was a City Bug. Does anyone know where I can find one. I am looking for something light for my DW to take rving. She just needs something for short distances. Two years ago she had back surgery and this year in March double knee replacement. She has a problem on uneven ground and walking very far.

It is close but the one we saw was larger with four wheels. Thanks, Tom

go to the link and look on the right side--there is a listing for quad and that may be what you are looking for.

I did not see it at Five Flags. I am looking for something light and have found a few on Ebay for around $700.
thanks,

I would recommend looking for a HC electric scooter. The one you are looking at will not be allowed in Rallies(inside) or stores.

I have two 3 wheel electric and we are permitted any place people walk provided there are no steps.

I purchased both on ebay, one was a demo at 1250 the other several years old (same make/model) for 6oo. However, they are a bit heavy to lift, therefore I use a portable ramp(ebay).

there are many 3 or 4 wheel scooters out there small enough and light enough to put in a vehicle.

Look in the classifieds of your newspaper, however most i have seen are over priced. Also, try contacting a nursing home, one of their residents may have one to sell.

I think you will be happy with a HC scooter.

Thanks but I don't need one inside,just not able to walk around the campground and socialize which is a big part of camping.I'm really hoping the knees and the back will eventually improve so I won't even need one,just thinking ahead right now.
