When you get yours dont forget a trailer for the little ones :D


What was this women doing on it half asleep?? Do think some of them need to sit a test before they are let loose on these things though, they can be lethal lol

Re: Mobility Scooters
 

Anything with wheels on the road is only as safe as the person steering in or driving it, but I do think any one who hasn't had a licence for a car or motor bike should have to take some kind of test to prove the road sense is up to scratch

Re: Mobility Scooters
 

funnily enough was talking to me best mate in accy yesterday, he has one of these, was surprised to see they are "Road Taxed" if that is the case, its nuts they don't have any kind of test, another guy with one joined us, when he left,we were both laughing at his terrible driving.:rolleyes:

What about the old man that took his on a motorway or a by-pass a few weeks ago, vehicles were over taking him at 70 MPH. says he took the wrong exit road by mistake after coming out of a supermarket. Luckily for him a local builder stopped and put his scooter on the back of his truck.

I think they are a great means of transport for the disabled / elderly when driven in the correct, safe manner.

they shoud bring back those blue 3 wheeled charriot things because no matter how bad a driver you couldnt go fast enough to cause any harm to anyone :D

yeh but if ya went on the pavement with a "Reliant Robin" accyman ya would get done.:D

Re: Mobility Scooters
 

these were about half teh size of a robin reliant but im sure there was an even smaller one with a plastic hood but i cant find a pic of one, unless it was teh convertable range lol

iv googled what we used to call them as kids but no luck

i am spelling "spaz charriot" correctly arnt i ?

Re: Mobility Scooters
 

Telll you what there was a Reliant Robin on the M61 last week, in very high winds ... he was bombing along at least 70 m.p.h without waiver ..... was full of admiration, 'cause they are really strange to control.

Re: Mobility Scooters
 

my brothers dad used to have one and i missed out on many trips to blackpool as i wouldnt be seen dead in it lol

also it was scary to be in one as all teh holes in the road for some reason are located in teh middle of teh road which the front center wheel always hit and it felt liek you were going to flip over lol

Re: Mobility Scooters
 

so ya admire the "Plastic Rocket" say no more.:D:D:D

Re: Mobility Scooters
 

No .... just the driver, for having the guts to go out on the roads with it ...:D

Perhaps you are getting confused with the bubble car Accyman, did have sort of convertibles. Was once taken to Blackpool in one myself, broke down on the way back, not impressed .. that brought the end to one relationship.:D
