Paiseec S3 Folding Mobility Scooter – 25-Mile Range

After a failed hip replacement I need a scooter to help me walk longer distances. The S3 was perfect. Right price and size. We are able to put it in the back of our SUV to keep our traveling life style.

I purchased my Paiseec S3 Mobility Scooter 10 days ago and have had the opportunity to use it on quite a few occasions since then. I chose the Paiseec S3 Mobility Scooter because of its features, manageable weight, and it does not look like a WheelChair or a traditionally styled Mobility Scooter. I may need it to get around on certain outings, but I still wanted my ride to be stylish. First of all, the S3 is professionally packed and ready to go once you remove it from the box. All you have to do is raise the Steering Wheel stem and lock it into place. Then lift the seat up until it locks into place. There is no assembly required. When folded, the S3 fits into the back of my Toyota RAV4 Hybrid perfectly. To load it, I lift the front of the Scooter and place the front wheels on the deck of the vehicle. I then lift the rear of the Scooter and while lifting, I twist it sideways into the cargo area. I am 2 months away from my 84th birthday and have no problem putting it in the vehicle that way, even with the 25 Mile battery installed in the Scooter. If my wife is available to help, she lifts the front bumper and I lift using the rear bumper and together we put the Scooter into our vehicle. Our first outing was to the San Diego Zoo which spans 100 acres. The Zoo is a must see because it is home to more than 12,000 rare and endangered animals. The roughly 4.5 mile route is known for its hilly terrain. The S3 Scooter performed flawlessly. It had the power to go up the hills, the automatic braking kept the Scooter at safe downhills speeds. If the hill's too steep, I just did switchbacks to traverse the Scooter. Using the S3 I was able to visit the entire Zoo and saw exhibits that I had not seen in years due to my physical limitations. We just got back from a 4 day vacation to the Central California Coast area and spent two of those days going on gravel trails overlooking the beach cliffs in the Montana de Oro State Park area. One hiker I came across asked me if the Scooter was 4 wheel drive. I guess he thought so as I was on a gravel road. The 10 inch rear and 9 inch front wheels made the gravel trail not a problem at all. I'm not sure of the total miles I have put on the S3, but just the one full charge on the 25 mile battery lasted the Zoo excursion and the use on our vacation. More than satisfactory. I carried the optional 15 mile battery with me just as an emergency backup if needed, but it was not needed. I love the setup convenience, the "Sporty" look, and more importantly how this scooter has opened up some of the mobility I was able to enjoy when I was younger. The controls of High, Medium, Low, and Walk made it very easy to pick the appropriate speed I needed depending on the circumstances. The seat offers a perfect combination of support and comfort. All in all, I am extremely pleased with my choice of the Paiseec S3 Mobility Scooter and already have planned trips next week to the San Diego Fair and then the San Diego Wild Animal Park the next day. My physical limitations are no longer going to hold me back thanks to the S3 Mobility Scooter. Doug Potts, San Diego, CA
