Back

With my scooter I was able to go to the grocery store about 1.25 miles away in about 12 minutes. Usually if I walk this it takes a bit over a half hour. And it's fun!

The scooter cost around $300, and the kit to attach it to the wheelchair was $400

My local bike shop helped me swap out the foot plate on my chair with one that was a little bit narrower from an old wheelchair. This allowed the pop n drop to fit onto my wheelchair frame.

Also, there's a U-Bolt that attaches that metal plate to the scooter and the one that came with the kit was too small. The maker of the kit sent me a new one that was (knowingly) too big. I didn't have the hacksaw I needed to cut it down to the proper size but the bike guys made short work of it.

The scooter I got is a Hiboy S2 lite. My meandering trip the the grocery took it down to about 75% of it's battery power. It's 350w motor did struggle a bit on steep hills, but works fine for my neighborhood.

Another cool thing: the scooter is pretty light and it's fairly easy to push my wheelchair with the scooter attached and powered off. So if I happen to use up the battery I won't be stranded. And if I don't want to put the scooter on a bike rack, I can take it in a shop without too much trouble
