Daymak Boomerbuggy Covered Personal Mobility Scooter Video Review

I visited Daymak in Toronto Canada and got to meet with the founder, Aldo Baiocchi, to check out the Boomerbuggy. This personal mobility scooter is designed to be stable, easy to drive and narrow enough to fit through a single door. It’s priced at $3k starting but you can pay more for the Covered “enclosed” version and add a stereo and other accessories to make it your own.
The scooters use a 1,200 watt canister style motor and offer a 24 volt 110 amp hour sealed Lead acid battery. You can get a Lithium-ion battery but it costs more. The scooters go 8 to 10 miles per hour and 20+ miles (40 kilometers) per charge. You can also turn down the speed for indoor use at ~1 km per hour. The seat is adjustable and I loved the canopy style umbrella. There’s a cup holder for bringing along a drink and there’s no license or insurance required.
The Enclosed version comes in black, red, blue or white and has a fiberglass shell with larger more rugged tires. It has windshield wipers and suspension, the doors lock and windows roll up and down… it’s pretty cool :D but if you get cold, there’s actually a heater built in as well as a seatbelt and headrest for safety. Aldo and I had some fun racing the units around, the one I was in costs $6k because it’s Enclosed and had some upgrades. You can even get a backup camera so you don’t accidentally run over your pet.
The scooter gets delivered with a specialty truck and costs ~$500 for easy to reach locations. Daymak will ship this product anywhere in North America including Canada and America.

I saw this on the streets a couple years ago and it blew my mind. It is way skinnier than you expect. If you are old and the government took you license away due to health problems this isn't a bad choice.

[@epicdeuce]

$6,000!?!? I fell out of my chair. I bought a used 2012 Nissan Leaf for $7200! I can go 80 miles per charge, has heated seats, heated steering wheel, air conditioning /heat, can take on highway, crusie control, blue tooth, airbags, seats 5, power everything... I guess the only downside is I can't drive it inside a grocery store.

[@f1123581321345589144]

this isn't supposed to be a car replacement though. different category of vehicle entirely. i do see your point though; it's a lot of money for something less than a car. but if you think of it as more than a scooter, then it seems worth it.

[@v000000000000v]

you need a license and insurance for a car, not for this

[@Clearanceman2]

I bought a used Subaru Baja for $2000 and put $1000 in it and I can drive it another 100,000 miles. Point being used vehicles are a WAY better deal. Leaf or not.

[@Clearanceman2]

And how is the disabled person supposed to get this thing to the grocery store or Walmart at under four miles per hour? You'd get run over by a BMX bicycle.

[@Daz5809]

The only thing I have to ask the laughing people who post about how it would be cheaper to buy a car. Do any of you experience a bad limp from the pain of walking to the bathroom? Shortness of breath getting to the end of the block? A half hour to walk 3 blocks to the local store? I could go on with many other conditions that people face and I hope you might get the point....

[@flitsies]

Solomon Grundy I don't know what it is called but it looks like a disabled buggy used by many disabled people in the UK, it even has the little wheels at the back to reduce tilt when climbing the kerb. Usually has a top speed of around 12 mph with a walking speed of around 4 mph, some have hard shells while others have soft sides a canvas door type soft side. They are not generally used by able bodied people because for one in the UK any able bodied person caught using a disabled device like this will be prosecuted, unless it is registered for normal road use, which no sensible person would do.

[@stephcurry2350]

Hows the crash test against head on collision?

[@debbygear560]

Nice unit, great for a senior as no license required. At 49" wide, it needs double doors to get through. Love the ride and suspension. The competitor Shoprider flagship is similar, and being 39" wide makes it possible to go through many mall / hospital / coffee shop doors. I liked the feel of your unit better, except for this key limitation. Darn, my Dad really wanted to buy this to replace his 10 year old scooter.

[@brotheralec8998]

according to the Americans with disabilities act police can only ask you if you are disabled if you are using where only disabled people are allowed to use them...inside stores, hospitals, or any other business...otherwise it is completely legal for anyone to operate one of these anywhere a pedestrian can go...if you doubt what I am saying look up the ADA...outside the U.S.A. it depends on definitions...

[@gr8fulsoul]

Not only for old people...some disabled people are young as well, right? But, I agree with Zoli Kubi about it needing AC, rolling down a window isn't the same thing. A large fan attached to the ceiling in the back would be the next best thing but wouldn't cut it in very high temps.

[@92174164]

Or people who can't walk due to disability like myself. It beats getting rained on or freezing your balls off trying to do something as simple as going to buy milk or bread from the corner store. Be thankful for the things you take for granted. At any given moment it can be taken away in the blink of an eye.

[@jasonhowe1697]

note: i would suggest to owners of mobility aids you might want to consider a low profile beacon so you can be seen at night by other road users note: this is mainly so 4wd's and trucks can see you at night and if riding on public foot path's of a night time consider having lights below your line of sight as the driving lights are very poor and tend to be poor of illumination of pedestrians or other foot path users.. on average you have between 8-15 km/h pending on the model type of the mobility aid you are using... I have have been on a mobility over 10-15 years to know that sometimes you have no choice in where you ride when you think of driving comfort. on average the inclosed models can only take a 50-70kg person try too apply that to a high capacity you wouldn't do.. in my case i start with units with a 225 kg load capacity meaning average spend is about $5,000-8,500.. and don''t go stating you do conversions from gelcell to lithium as that usually requires upgradesin electronics.. average km is about 40-60km in distance , feathering the throttle you may extend out to 80km.. under the the largest gel cells you can physically install in the mobility aid you have .. I can't comment on going to a lithium based system on the physics of range you can get..

I have a question are these motorized handicap scooters with the roof and doors are they legal in Canada I have a friend that has one but I get a sneaky suspicion that she drove it too fast and the police charged her and she is disabled do you have to have a license for them what are the rules of having them on a public street someone needs to fix that my friend can’t get out without anything now and she said the police told her it was illegal is that true if they are why are they selling them for people with disabilities is it because she drove too fast with it

[@gmackinnon648]

They are legal in Ontario and from what I've read. Same goes for Quebec. Albeit speeds are 4mph on sidewalks 15km/h road with speed limit of 50kmh max and only legal if there's no sidewalk and must stay close to shoulder and not legal on hiway

[@RM-lj8bv]

I want an enclosed one that takes at least 2 people and is VERY affordable

[@D700Replacement]

Very annoying voice and too superficially chatty. "and there's your headlights which you can turn on". "Theres the door again, it kinda just opens up".

[@staxter6]

My Buddy has MS, a simple front end electric drive attachment for his wheelchair retailed at £3,900!!, then they charge him £46 for a crud tyre, £16 for a replacement plastic yoke nut etc... its a joke how manufacturers of mobility scoots and the like seem to justify these prices to a market most in need of affordable ways of moving from A to B. Don't get me started on sidewalk conditions or accessibility to facilities.. manufacturers service record also shocking.

[@gmackinnon648]

Totally agree, but then again these manufacturers aren't disabled and figure the disabled can only afford to buy one so jam em on the price 😞.ppl $ retailers should know these scooters are primarily for disabled ppl and if retailers see non disabled buying they jack the price for sales profit.. more sold = more $ in their pockets

OK, if they would go down on the price a little like maybe 1000 and 900 or 1400. I could probably save up for one of these but being that they’re all around the $5000 bracket or $9000 bracket who could buy one and trying to get one financed is hard.

[@robertmorris9998]

Really like the idea of this buggy. However, now that I watch the review, I see two things that are a problem. First, the luggage space is pretty nonexistent. A couple of bags maybe, and then something on the floor. Second, no rear access. This means the stuff you pile behind the seat you have to reach over to get out. If I’m a senior with mobility issues, theoretically the primary customer base, how am I going to crane in and reach around to get my groceries or whatever out? Also, thinking of my mother, who uses a walker, how is she going to get around once she goes somewhere? If this was just a bit bigger, with rear access, she could fold her walker into the back, go to the store, get the walker out, shop, and get back home. I’d buy that. But not this one. Might be fun to ride around, but she’d never be able to get out. Too bad…
