I got the scooter shown a few months back and it's never really had a good workout yet as they don't travel as well in the Winter Weather and Snow. My old Scooter was a Heavy Duty Meteor Scooter that was just like driving a Cadillac. After almost 10 Years of use I began having to many problems always getting it repaired so the Disability Office Authorized for a New Model. Since they don't make the Meteor any longer the Silver Comet was the next closest to it. It gets me from Point A to Point B and back so I am happy.
