| don from fergus falls, mn submitted this review on November 21st 2007 at 03:27 PM. don is an end user who has over a year of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | after a year of useage can't think of any strengths, this is an update of a previous post. At first I thought this was going to
be a good scooter, but no such luck!! | | Weaknesses: | In the past year we have replaced the transaxel ($1500), the speed controller, and the seat bracket. Still will not go through
normal grass without triping the main circuit breaker. | | Comments: | I will never buy another pride product, their service sucks!!!
I was lucky to have a rascal as a back up, or I think I would
have sued this company. | | Durability? |  | | Ease of use? |  | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

| Elliot from Prescott, Arizona submitted this review on July 15th 2007 at 07:24 PM. Elliot is an end user who has over a year of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | This scooter is the most comforable of the four I have owned. The tiller-tilt release allows for just the right angle for those times I transport bulky items on the floorboard. | | Weaknesses: | The speed controls are cumbersome. The front frame cracked easily, and when repaired, it cracked easily again. Now it stays cracked. | | Comments: | I have owned this scooter for six years and have never had a battery or a mechanical problem. I clean off the axles and squirt in some WD40 a couple times a year, and I have no problems. It's a big scooter and well suited for outdoor use. My Bruno Curbsider lift has no problem getting it in or out of the van, but overall, the lift gives me more headaches than the scooter! | | Durability? |  | | Ease of use? |  | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

| Jack from Rochester, NY USA submitted this review on March 11th 2007 at 08:53 AM. Jack is a care giver who has six months to a year of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | Very comfortable to sit on; attractive design; good on sidewalks and in yards. | | Weaknesses: | Very poor reliability; very poor quality. | | Comments: | Scooter was defective when delivered and more than 6 months later we have no satisfactory resolution to the many problems. (1) Frame and seat post not correctly alligned so seat does not lock in place facing straight forward. (2) Scooter goes faster in reverse than forward. In slowest setting, scooter jumps backward suddenly and very quickly. Downright dangerous! (3) In forward, unit does not maintain speed. Told one brake is overheating. Might be a bearing problem. Encountered same slow-down problem with Pride Legend but after 6 or 7 years. Was then told that it was a bearing problem and that motor was shot. Replaced the Legend with the Celebrity. Clearly Pride quality had dropped substantially since our purchase of a Legend. Customer service is poor. Pride has no pride. It proposes to replace more than 50% of the components rather than simply replace what is clearly a lemon. | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

| john from CA submitted this review on January 15th 2007 at 02:01 PM. john is an end user who has over a year of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | Comfortable | | Weaknesses: | Reliability: Constant mechanical/electrical repairs. I spent $900.00 last year to keep this scooter running. Pride continues to have issues with reliability. | | Comments: | This is the third pride I have owned. Now will switch brands | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

| Don from Fergus Falls, minnesota usa submitted this review on March 16th 2006 at 07:10 PM. Don is an end user who has one to six months of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | Most leg room, good seating, fast | | Weaknesses: | not very durable in the front, any slight bump may crack the plastic, the basket turns with the tiller, therefore if one puts a lot of weight in the basket may have difficult turning | | Comments: | good scooter but lacks durability | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? |  | | Overall Rating: | |

| PARTHA from LEXINGTON, KY, USA submitted this review on June 3rd 2005 at 02:13 PM. PARTHA is an end user who has over a year of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | Sturdy, convenient to use. Can be used conveniently for shopping. | | Weaknesses: | Starts giving troubles after 1 year.
The controller has now gone bad, which means it will cost me $700.
Difficult to transport. Most lifts cannot carry it because of size. | | Comments: | Avoid it, if you can | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

| susan from chicago, il. submitted this review on April 29th 2005 at 07:22 PM. susan is an end user who has over a year of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | COMFORTABLE RIDE, STURDY, GOOD FOR DOWNTOWN CITY USE. | | Weaknesses: | EXTREMELY POOR DEPENDABILITY. FAILS CONSTANTLY. I HAVE OWNED A CELEBRITY THREE AND A HALF YEARS AND IT HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES FOR LACK OF ABILITY TO REPAIR. COMPANY HAS HAD THIS SCOOTER NOW FOR OVER 3 MONTHS AND STILL NOT REPAIRED. I HAVE BEEN USING A LAONER MORE IN 3 YEARS THAN MY OWN SCOOTER. WOULD NOT ADVISE ANYONE TO PURCHASE THIS SCOOTER. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE. IF SOMEONE HAS A SUGGESTION FOR A GOOD WORKING SCOOTER, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU. | | Comments: | MY COMMENTS ARE ABOVE. VERY POOR PRODUCT PERFORMANCE FOR ME. | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

| John from Grand Rapids, Michigan USA submitted this review on December 15th 2004 at 03:42 PM. John is an end user who has over a year of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | Attractive, fast, comfortable seat. Company seems to stand behind its warranty pretty good. Lots of lights, but I don't really need those. Very modular electrical design (but that doesn't seem to result in lower repair costs or longer operation than less modular designs!). | | Weaknesses: | Tiller is very stiff and awkward, plus the steel cable you pull to adjust it broke after 4 months. I just drilled a hole out the side and rigged up a plastic zip tie, which lasted a lot longer than the original steel cable! (Nobody has a tiller design like Electric Mobility! Problem with them is that the cable harness on the current ones is designed just plain stupid with a 180 degree bend that pulls out after a few months of vigorous use!)
After exactly 1 year, bearing in rear wheel seized up and trashed the whole transaxle -- stranded me in the middle of winter.
After 18 months, the controller board died. Replacement cost $700! That means the scooter is dead.
The rear anti-tip extensions are a hazard! I came to the end of a sidewalk into a muddy place where the scooter wouldn't go forward, and I couldn't back out because the anti-tips jammed up on the side of the sidewalk! I was stuck and had to phone for help! When I rode down an asphalt street, these things kept dragging on the surface of the street after the least bounce. My solution -- cut the buggers off! | | Comments: | No better reliability than the average scooter, which means pretty poor. I do 3,000-4,000 miles a year on sidewalks and grass, and most $1,500-$2,500 scooters (Internet prices) can't take more than 18 months of that -- they're built like American cars used to be built before the Japanese came in and proved a car could be built to run for 10 years or more. Now all cars are a lot better because of the competition. We need more competition in the scooter world! | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |

| David from Houghton Lake, Michigan submitted this review on June 16th 2004 at 09:19 AM. David is an end user who has over a year of experience with the product. | | Strengths: | Comfortable seat, easy to turn around, lights and turn signals are a nice feature.
I got alot of compliments on how it looks.
I like the fact that I can go through the yard with no problems. | | Weaknesses: | Lever that you use to control the forward and reverse movement fell apaprt in the middle of a line at a amusement park.
Airlines messed it up pretty bad during transport.
Batteries could last longer than one year. | | Comments: | I would strongly recommend this scooter to anyone who is looking for a unit that is made for a 300 pound person (goes up to 350). I like the fact that I can recline the seatwhen I need to. The lights help you to be seen at night. | | Durability? | | | Ease of use? | | | Meet expectations? | | | Overall Rating: | |
