Your Yapping is NEVER BORING, Sergio ... on the contrary, your Commentaries are highly educational. We can learn so much from watching your presentations - many thanks for taking the time and trouble for sharing them with us. One thing I would say, Sergio, is that your extensive Testing was carried out in a FLAT TERRAIN, whereas, typically, many Users would perform their itineraries in varying conditions, ie. with inclines, etc. Carrying weight, as in grocery shopping, for example, would invariably affect the range too. Interesting experiment, however, in any case - Lithium is definitely the optimal option.🙏🇬🇧

Hi I have a go-go pride traveler that has the standard sealed lead battery. I recently spent half a day at Disney World Epcot using my scooter. After only a couple of hours my scooter battery went into the orange stage and I had to drop it off at their scooter rental place to charge it (thankfully I brought it’s charger) I’ve watched your lithium battery upgrade and I’ll be at your Deerfield store to get the batteries. I plan on going to more theme parks so I really need longer life batteries for my Go-go Pride 4 wheel traveler scooter. Thanks for the videos. I’m a new subscriber 😊

Maybe not even need a different charger also.👍 Thanks for the video

@@MobilityDirect Do the lithium batteries give any extra torque so it might be a little better while driving on the Grass? Also you should consider if the original equipment battery meter can be modified by adding some kind of kit in line, as opposed to adding an additional completely different meter and having the OE meter remain in place and not functioning properly. Also it is also possible that someone makes a lithium meter that can be substituted in place of the original meter.

I just bought a drive spitfire 3 wheel. I am 300+ and find the scooter works well on grass but is very unstable laterally. I love the scooter but the included 12AH sla batteries failed just the day after the warranty ended. I was afraid that it took a new speed controller to go lithium. It is very easy, even for a 73 year old fat man, to change the batteries.

I need a new scooter pretty badly. I'm completely unable to even take one step on my left leg due to a broken medical screw in my left pelvic bone, my sciatic nerve and bulging disc/degenerative discs. I am completely reliant on my scooter to get me anywhere. My scooter broke down last week and I have not been able to get around at all by myself. And it takes so long to even get an answer from the insurance and the therapy place I get mine from. I also need a 4-wheeler because I can't seem to not fall out of the three-wheeler. My balance has become a big challenge lately as well. God, please help me win a scooter. Good luck to everyone.
