Can someone tell me the best way to get on this scooter if you've had foot surgery and can't put any weight on that foot?

I had my husband line it up next to the end of the couch. I then stood up and used the arm of the couch to steady me. I swung my bad foot over the seat and sat down. took practice. got off the same way. rode to the arm of the couch and used it like a crutch. good luck!

Stand on good foot, pivot your seat to the scooters seat and sit down. The knee walker is much easier to use if its only foot or ankle. We have both.

The only way one could transport themselves is by using their feet on the floor. Since the wheels are small you cannot use your hands to move the wheels.

Make sure the foot bar is up, lay the chair on it's back, grab and lift the front legs and step on the bottom of seat with your foot. Works great.

This a great little scooter. It has a great turning radius, unlike some of the others. It's is rather small tho, but my father who is 6 ft fit on it ok, but he is not heavy. An overweight person may have more trouble. The person using it does have to have the ability to climb onto it and climb off. This was a problem for my dad. We ended up returning it for that reason, and also my father has dementia and couldn't figure out how to drive it, although it is really simple to drive. There is just one control. You push it forward and the scooter goes forward. You pull it back and the scooter backs up. You let go and the scooter stops. Hope this helps. This a great little scooter.

Absolutely. One of the only things that is good about needing a mobility scooter is that it gets you through the TSA security lines quickly and you can drive right up to the departure gate. The Plane ground crew will then take it down into the baggage section and when you arrive at your destination, bring it up for you. Bill Keene 954-421-3169 Boca Home Medical Solutions

I liked this scooter because of my weight (it's a heavy duty one, but my wife easily lifted it in and out of our Jeep). I even sat sideways on the seat for short periods to get the pressure off my knee. I had ankle replacement surgery with a large boot up almost to the knee for weeks. Didn't have a hard cast, but a soft cast for a couple of weeks before the boot. Depending on where you live, you could look at medical supply places to see if this type of solid pad or the split pad would work for you. I preferred the solid pad, but didn't have a hard cast. Either way, remember to straighten your knee a lot...scooting on this thing is really easily, but the knee gets tired of the weight of the body on top.

ok first of all the razor pro scooter is the best ever. You could go off a ten foot drop and land it. All you have to do is really compress as you hit. The pro is bigger to. front shocks suck there heavy and fall apart. It does not matter if you weigh 166 because it is so durable.

Scooter is fine for her. Actually not as fast as it looks. Wear a helmet and have fun.

It is very difficult to ride and stop. I don't think your foot would get stuck

I asked my daughter, the one who used the scooter, and she said it's just a matter of placement. She found that if she positioned her knee so that the top edge of the boot landed in the space between cushions with her upper knee (where the greater portion of weight is carried) on the forward cushion then it was fairly comfortable. Hope that helps - and I hope you have a quick recovery!

The package insert says the max weight limit is 100 lbs, however I can attest to it supporting at least 135 lbs (i am in my 30s). it's very sturdy, and you could probably get away with putting more weight on it. But I don't have a good sense for how much more it could really take. I wear a size 9 women's shoe and my foot fits just fine on the foot plate. I could get both on if I needed, but when I have ridden it, I am almost always pushing with one of my feet and don't need for the plate to accommodate two feet. Terrific scooter all around! All the neighbor kids are buying one since seeing my son's!

You have to pick it up to turn, it is not easy to operate especially with a major leg surgery. I bought one that you can actually turn the front wheel it was so easy to use. I used it for 10 weeks

I don't know why you couldn't do that. I didn't take my scooter on walks for exercise, but I work in a large, spread-out office complex, and I covered a lot of ground every day. I don't know how much mileage I put on my scooter overall, but I would bet I covered at least a mile a day and probably more. My main caution if you go for walks is to be careful going downhill- you can get up some speed, which is a lot of fun, but you don't want to topple over if you get carried away!

i have never flown with the scooter but i see no reason why it would not be allowed as the handle bars fold back over the seat and it would be easier to store than a wheel chair. this scooter filled my needs to a "t" when i had foot surgery, it is well built and easy to use.

Grasp the seat by the rear and pull up sharply. There is a simple clip. Once I got Bella's seat open I had to loosen the four screws and adjust the clip properly. If it moves, then the seat is really hard to open. There was a very short manual. I have gotten most of my information on line. I also bought 45 degree valves to inflate the tires. None of my tire pumps would fit between the spokes and I ruined a tube on the rear wheel and it is a pain to replace. When it comes time to replace a tube you can buy them with a 45 degree valve. Otherwise it has been a great scooter and gets ridden miles each day. Grasp the seat by the rear and pull up sharply. There is a simple clip.
