Finally made the move to get us some range, outside the campground where we may be parked. Bought two Pride Mobility Scooters, Celebrity X models. She wanted a three wheeler and I got a four wheeler. Nice little toys, and a lot of fun. Extends my range from a something less than a block - to 25 miles, supposedly. At 5mph, that would be five hours of driving, which I doubt I will ever want to do.
Haven?t had them out with the RV, yet. Planned on disassembling them, storing them in the basement, then reassembling as needed. Plenty of room. (Assembled, ready to go, they are 46" by 24" and weigh 151lbs.) That may be the way we do it. If it is, we are going to have to get inventive.
It turns out that the heaviest pieces are really pretty heavy, for us. 65.5 lbs. I really thought that while we are supposedly limited to 40lbs or less, we could do that, once in a while. (Was a time when I could have thrown that much weight, a little ways, with one hand!) It is an awkward 65.5 lbs! It?s really tough, with both of us lifting to put it in the trunk of a car, and we haven?t tried to get them into a storage bay, (or bays) yet.
Transporting them in the basement is our preferred method, for several reasons. Wouldn?t be towing anything. There are weather issues with these things, can?t get them wet. Out of sight for theft prevention. Etc. Anybody with any inventive ideas? ???
Anybody with a TONKA Fork Lift for sale? ;D
