My mother Michelle is 80 years old and has difficulty walking. Although she loves to get out and about, she often stays at home due to her limited mobility. When she was young, she never learned to drive. It used to be my father who always drove the car, but after his death, she had to rely on public transportation or Uber for her travel.
However, as she got older, public transportation was no longer suitable for her. It takes a long time and can be crowded, so I worry about her falling. Uber is great for longer trips, but it is not ideal for everyday activities like walking or shopping. In addition, it can be expensive. I tried buying various mobility products to help my mother, but they were not satisfactory. They were mostly too bulky or too complicated to use, and my mother did not like them.
She still longs for travel and envies those who can go out freely to visit friends, explore national parks and attend art exhibitions. She even tried to learn to drive and get a driver's license but failed. By chance, she saw an old lady riding a mobility scooter on the street and it felt like a lifeline to her. Later, she asked me to order the same scooter online - VOCIC D51 Explorer High-Performance Mobility Scooter .
The scooter arrived soon. It was perfect for my mother's needs. It was lightweight, easy to use and affordable. And thanks to the clear instructions, it didn't take long to assemble.
After that, my mother couldn't wait to get on the scooter and try it out. She only spent 2-3 minutes learning how to handle the steering wheel. Then she started with the low speed and then switched to the medium and high speed. It didn't take long for her to learn how to ride the scooter. That day, she also drove excitedly down the street for a long time: "Haha, I finally found the perfect mobility product for me!" she said happily to me.
When my mom drove to her good friend Jane's for the first time, Jane was very surprised that Michelle had learned to drive a "car" and handle the scooter so well. Jane decided to give it a try and quickly got the hang of it too. My mom was surprised to find that Jane was also thinking about buying a mobility scooter, so they discussed a lot about whether or not it was worth buying this VOCIC Explorer mobility scooter. They even made a list:
Advantages of the VOCIC Mobility Scooter:
Light
Easy to use
No gas required, environmentally friendly
save money
Easy parking, stop and go
Foldable
Large weight capacity
Adjustable height
To confirm:
Does the range meet travel needs?
Weather dependent, unfavorable on rainy days.
Is the basket size big enough?
Available on gravel roads and grass？
Alternative battery?
Wheels can damage the wooden floor?
Jane believes that the 9-mile range is enough for her daily travel needs such as shopping, visiting exhibitions, walking, etc. Even if longer trips are needed occasionally, it can be folded up and stored in the trunk and used when needed. Mom agrees, as it can be tiring for seniors to ride a bike on a long-distance trip.
What they like most is that the scooters can be equipped with an umbrella. They both agree that it would be convenient to have an umbrella attached to the scooter. Jane felt it was necessary to protect her sensitive skin from UV rays, as her skin tends to turn red and develop rashes when exposed to the sun for long periods of time, which is totally annoying. Mom is OK with this idea, as she goes for a walk every day and if it rains, she has to stay home.
There are different opinions about the basket size. Jane thinks the basket is a bit small, while my mother thinks it is enough for one person to carry their things. Even if it is not enough, they can use the free space of the pedal.
As for the other three points - availability on gravel roads and grass, alternative battery, and the possibility of wheels damaging the wooden floor - they were not sure if they were feasible. So they contacted VOCIC's professional team and responded quickly. First, the scooter has 8-inch solid wheels on the front and rear, which makes it puncture and explosion-proof, ensuring a smooth and safe ride with minimal maintenance. Therefore, it can be used on gravel roads and grass. Second, all VOCIC scooters have alternative batteries. Finally, the wheels are made of PU solid tire material, which minimizes damage to the floor.
Taking all these factors into consideration, this scooter perfectly suits Jane's needs, so she placed an order for the same scooter on the same day.
Two days later, Jane told my mother that her high-performance VOCIC Explorer mobility scooter had also arrived and that it was the right decision to purchase such a mobility scooter.
Now my mom rides her scooter almost every day, for example, walking her dog, shopping in town, going to brunch at the bakery, and going to the theater with friends. If she sees a nice view along the way, she grabs her scooter and goes for a leisurely stroll. Now she can visit many of the places she wants to go on her own without worrying about her mobility issues.
Michelle's life has become colorful and she seems even younger than she was two years ago. Maybe I can buy her a VOCIC high-performance scooter for Christmas so that she doesn't have to charge it every day and can go on longer trips comfortably.
