Now we can take the dogs walking/riding.

Those scooters are nice. Definitely one step up in comfort from my ATV.

As some are aware my wife and I both have bad backs. Just two days ago I was confined to bed which is very frustrating. I have had 2 laminectomies and suffer sciatica as does my lovely wife. There are good days though. We just need to learn to take it easier at our age. I'm a slow learner.
A friend of mine suggested a mobility scooter and he was very happy with his so we ordered a couple. They are 3 speed and reverse and can be used on road. Registration is free. Range is 50 klm and top speed is 32 kph. So far very happy as are our little dogs.
They can handle paddocks quite OK so we can get around the property easily. Fully sprung suspension and large wheels gives a nice ride.

I like the looks of those. I'm still mobile but have had two open spine surgeries so may be needing one. Where did you order from? The brand name?

I got mine HERE. I got two for less than the price of an equivalent one in my local city. Why wouldn't you?

We have a Kymco XUV oosik but it is a lot bigger and I can't drive it up on the porch like I can with these. They are great for checking the mailbox and popping down to the neighbours.
They can be registered for on road use and we do not pay any registration on them. Go into Transport Dept and they send you out a set of No Plates free. They have superb lighting on them.

Thanks, I'll be checking them out....WOW!! They are actually affordable!

What model are they? I don't see a picture like on that site looking like yours, Goliath comes closest.

dont rule out the chiropractor!!

15 months ago i had surgery [ laminectomy] after PT for months. the PT did not help at all and really caused pain to escalate.

after surgery i was again sent to PT and results were even worse [ if that was possible]. i tried hard to endure it as everyone said that is how you have to do it to heal properly. i ended up in a wheel chair screaming all day.

finally in desperation i went to see my chiropractor. he stated he seen this a lot after surgery and had a theory it had to do with how you were handled when you were sedated and limp.

anyhow, one touch and the pain went away instantly. it came back that day but after a few weeks he got the pain to stay away and today i can ride horses for 12 hours straight and walk and carry light loads with no problems.

turning in the tractor seat is a problem and usually requires a return visit.

The Goliath is the one we got. I think delivery was around $300 each to Queensland so yours would be about the same. Delivered right to our property. Even the batteries were fully charged when they arrived. The steel crates they come in just need a top on them to make a great bench too.
