Thanks for making this informative video! I have looked at no less than 30 videos and read over 100 reviews. This is the ONLY video that talked about and demonstrated user and operational experience. This is the best and most informative one!

If you plan to take this on an airline they will now reject all TopMate scooters based on current FAA regs. You can only have a sealed battery if it's a scooter on a very small pre-approved list. The only other possibility is if you can remove your battery and carry it with you while they store the scooter below in the baggage area. Be absolutely clear with whichever airline you're planning to use as you will very likely have to leave your scooter behind at the gate.

Thank you for this . Have you figured out how to attach a trailer hitch to tote stuff? I use a mobilty scooter for shopping etc but I tote stuff . I read a review apwhere some man made a hitch but he didn’t share

When you sit on your topmate did the bar connected to the spring assembly lean backward and drop down like it is trying to dump you off the rear?

What does it weigh?

[@kelalamusic9258]

I'm thinking of getting one myself, but I'm concerned that I might have some issues riding it being that I'm 6' 1" tall. How tall are you, and are you comfortable on it?

[@bobhowtoandtravel9551]

I am 6'0, once you put a comfort bike seat on it, it's fine for going places, but turns are always wobbly

[@jahlaune]

Glad I watched this I guess the battery isn’t easily swappable for people who need more than 15 miles.

[@jodihammer]

Has anybody used this at a theme park or zoo? What was your experience?

[@johngreene348]

The 32 has a wider wheel base and slightly bigger wheels for better stability.

[@RM-lj8bv]

How can I buy one in The U.K. and what weight of user can it take please?

[@bobhowtoandtravel9551]

I'm 220 lbs, it's on amazon in the us.

[@jofrcs8513]

Is this ok to use when it rains?

[@bobhowtoandtravel9551]

They have a few rubber seals, for a sprinkle, but I would not ride in the rain

[@scotscotty8075]

I just bought ES 32, as far as I am concerned this thing is an uncontrollable death trap.

[@GizmoMaltese]

Can you explain the death trap part?

[@scotscotty8075]

@@GizmoMaltese Well OK I didn't die but I broke my hip when it fell over while I was riding it. I was going about 7 miles per hr when a golf cart pullout directly in front of me, I hit the break and the trike folded up and fell over.

[@GizmoMaltese]

@@scotscotty8075 Yiykes. I hope you're OK. Breaking your hip is serious. You should sue. Was there no locking mechanism?

[@kenniagomez8313]

Does it have a brake?

[@bobhowtoandtravel9551]

Yes, the left hand grip has a front brake lever

[@RYLL]

@@bobhowtoandtravel9551 how good is the brake?

[@bobhowtoandtravel9551]

@@RYLL it's not powerful, if your going downhill, best to use feet too

[@AttilaTheHunky]

For me personally I don't think it looks like it's suitable for an elderly it wobbles a lot I would extend the back wheels a little wider apart to keep balance anyways hope to come up with something more modern and smarter
