Description

The Scout transportable scooter combines convenient mobility with superior value in a colorful, customizable exterior. The Scout is compact, lightweight, and easy to disassemble into five manageable pieces, making it ideal for both daily use and travel that requires vehicle transportation. The three-wheel Version of the Scout is specially designed for nimbly navigating indoor layouts with ease. A technologically advanced quick connect battery pack and a delta-shaped steering handle make operating the scooter effortless, even with limited strength or dexterity. This model comes with stylish, interchangeable color-through panels, in both red and blue, which double as a protective layer against potential scuffs and rim scratches. Troubleshooting steps- Once the recommended action is taken, turn the scooter off and then back on again to clear the flash code. If the problem was not corrected, or another problem exists the controller may display another flash code. ATTENTION – Your scooter may have a diagnostic light on the tiller that will stay on constantly. The light will begin to flash when you have a serviceable item.

  • Drive Medical Scout Compact Travel Power Scooter (3 wheeler)
My dad loves this thing and I find it pretty easy to dismantle into parts to transport it. In truth, we don't break it down to the 6 or 7 pieces every time. I have a minivan and we simply remove the battery and pick the scooter up and place it in the van. It's a bit awkward but it's not heavy. Further, Dad can handled the front half of the scooter in spite of his disabilities and so it gives him a sense of independence that he can "help" me loading it and unloading it. I have no doubt that my dad could break it down into it's parts and load it himself if he needed to. It just takes a bit of practice to put the parts back together. The scooter does well on non-paved surfaces, too, although it's a bumpy ride. We chose the 3 wheeler for a smaller turning radius because dad's head doesn't turn very well for backing up, but the seat swivels and that has made the difference for him. If you are worried about the stability of the three wheeler (dad has had no problems with stability although I did stress to him the proper way to minimize those problems while riding) then get the four wheeler. Also, when it's first delivered you'll need to turn the front knob to get the front to unlock. That's not mentioned in the directions. My dad came to live with me in March of 2014 and this is one of the best purchases we've made since he did so. No more worry that there won't be a scooter at the store, no more worry that store scooter batteries will die, now he can go to places he couldn't go before because it was too far for him to walk even with his rollator. I can't recommend this scooter enough. <~~~~That was written Oct. 21, 2016 ************************************** UPDATE February 27, 2018 We still love this thing. We love it so much that we decided to purchase a lift for the vehicle so anyone can get it in and out of the van with ease. If you add the price of the scooter purchased here with our costs to have installed a simple electric lift then we spent about 200.00 more than we would have spent just on the scooter had we purchased it at our local retailer. STILL HAPPY. :D Dad spends his days running around a senior center or shopping and doing things with me. He still gets a week to 10 days on a charge and he's only ever run the battery into the red (which should leave him several miles of battery remaining) perhaps twice. Still very much happy with this purchase. ************************************************* UPDATE July 4, 2019 We still love it! We are beginning to see just a little bit of battery life degradation but I still only charge it once a week or so. It does get well into the red now, however. I imagine in a year or so I'll need to replace the wheels which are starting to show some wear, and the internal battery. For someone who weighs less than 200 pounds, and who doesn't need something that can deal with rough terrain, this is still the perfect purchase, in my opinion. In fact I took it to pick up my brother from the hospital and he was able to ride himself out of the hospital instead of being rolled out. This is still the best purchase I've made since my father came to live with me. ... show more

  • SEEMS TO BE A GOOD BUY
JUST RECEIVED THE SCOOTER,ASSEMBLY WAS REALLY EASY.THE ONLY PROBLEM THERE ISN'T ANY PLACE IN THE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO UNLOCK THE FRONT WHEEL.I PLAYED AROUND WITH IT AWHILE AND THEN PULLED ON IT AND IT SNAPPED INTO AN OUTER POSITION.ME AND THE WIFE LAUGHED OUT HEADS OFF.WHY COULDN'T THEY PUT THAT IN THE INSTRUCTIONS.IT'S KINDA HARD TO PLUG THE AC CONNECTOR INTO THE BATTERY,BUT IT'S NOT THAT HARD.IT STATES IN THE MANUAL THAT YOU MUST CHARGE FOR 6 TO 9 HOURS BEFORE FIRST USE,BUT MY SCOOTER CAME FULLY CHARGED.I RODE IT AROUND THE HOUSE AND IT RIDS NICE.I HAVEN'T TRIED TO LOAD IT IN MY TRUNK YET,SO I'LL LET YOU KNOW HOW THAT WORKED OUT.BYE THE WAY THE SCOOTER COMES WITH A WARRANTY.BATTERY 6 MONTH AND DIFFERENT PARTS DIFFERENT TIMES. I RECOMMEND REGISTERING THE SCOOTER RIGHT AWAY FOR FULL WARRANTY PROTECTION.I'M SURE IT WILL FIT MY NEEDS FOR GOING SHOPPING AND BALL PARKS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.I DON'T PLAN ON RIDING IT ON STREETS. Well It doesn't ride well on our front yard rocks,it only works on a flat surface. I have a Buick Cascada 2016 and i got the scooter in the trunk,but In the fall I'm not going to be able to put the top down with the scooter in it.I had to take it far more apart then 5 pieces just to get it in,had to remove handles from seat,lower seat tube,and remove the basket mounting two screws.That's why I took a star away.I still believe it will come in handy on trips and if we take the wife's SUV.I had to go back to 5 stars,this scooter is great,I haven't been able to go inside Costco for 3 years,and it only took me 10 mins to put it together and 5 mins. to take apart.After we got home we did transfer it into my wife's suv,but only because I want to put the top down when it cools off,and we take her suv on all trips anyway,and if I need it I can just take her car.Anyway I'm more than happy with the way this scooter performs and after an hour of riding around the battery was still fully charged.When we got home, all I needed to bring in the house is the battery pack to keep it charged.I attached pictures,It's pretty quick, I only had it turned up half was and was buzzing around pretty good,and you can see I'm not a small guy.I did leave the handles off I see no real reason for them,and in Vegas when we rented a scooter i always left the handles up anyway. ... show more

  • Stopped working in one month!!!!!
Used scooter at work. This scooter was light for putting in car and very easy to use. I took it to work one day it just stopped working. I could not get amazon seller. Site information mentions call Drive medical. Don't buy from this seller they do not help with product support. I chatted with drive Medical several times. I asked what does it mean when you turn keys PULL LEVER TO DRIVE . It does not move but you hear 5 repeating beeps. The person on the chat said we will call back later today . He took my name and phone number its been two days now no one called back. Now I remember the second time I called and spoke to someone at Drive medical they emailed when I could get scooter fixed. Now I am disabled so I was desperate to get scooter working to use at work. I called the service people I think they said the cost up front would be something like $100 or $125.I had surgery Oct 16 and no one has called me back for the repair. I would not purchase another scooter from Drive medical. I have another scooter from Golden that had to be fixed. I think I would recommend an lightweight electric wheelchair instead of scooter if I had to do this all over again. Scooters seem to breakdown too much and servicing the is a problem especially if you use it daily. Drive medical does not really do a good job of product support, They can't even recommend a provider that is reliable enough to set and keep an appointment. Nice scooter very lightweight. Just say no !!! Run!!!!! ... show more
