One thing to be mindful of with most of these scooters is they weigh a ton, so you'll be restricted to driving near your home or you'll need a WAV that can accommodate it. My wife had one that I could dismantle to get in the van (no. 2 on your list) which worked fine for shopping etc.

Those look very cool!

I have 2 scooters already. One is a folding one that folds to 10%ish larger than a standard maximum bag allowed in the cabin of an aircraft. I use that when travelling distances or going away. It is a little heavy but it works well enough.

I also have one similar to No 2. Which is used for localish trips around Leamington/Warwick I know how much they weigh. 90+ Kilos! I can dismantle it and it will fit in the boot of a larger vehicle. I know it will fit in the new Volvo if I need to. Forget putting this one in the boot of my golf!

I am trying to stave off (hopefully successfully) the need for a WAV for myself for as along as possible. The new Volvo will not use the pedals it will be modded so everything is on the dash.

If you can remember it then it wasn't "that good". #JustSaying

Since when has that special shade of blue been in fashion?

Hence the 'used to be', obviously it didn't catch on with the more discerning customer such as yourself.

I agree you need two - cover up for inclement weather and a summer fun version you can take to the beach.
