I really love this Golden scooter. I first did not want to spend this kind of money on a scooter and considered buying a cheaper one. But as I am a large person in size, I decided to go with this model and I am glad that I did. The first time that I used it was in a large field looking at old cars. I rode it all day (7 1/2 hours) and never had one problem with it. The battery stayed charged and the scooter never slowed down all day. I had people asking me about it and saying it sure was a Cadillac of scooters. It breaks down into five pieces, so we had no problem putting it into the trunk of our 1967 Chevy. And it was easy to disassemble and reassemble. (If you do not have a large enough vehicle with enough trunk room then this model of scooter may not be for you.) I have used it in the malls and I can maneuver it around just fine. I can't wait for to take it on vacation this year. Great product!
