I have owned several scooters from several brands, I have learned the pro’s and con’s of different companies. One thing stands true though, the independance and freedom owning one of these provides is a blessing. I use mine to travel to the markets, work (4 miles away) yard work etc. I have polio and can limp short distances so I do not need one in my home. I have found the last scooter I will buy. I wish they were more readily available as they are new to the American market but, Landlex mobility scooters are AMAZING. I saw the super Gazelle at the 2010 Abilities Expo in Los angeles. I can not believe the product. In every detail, for all ages this thing is beautiful. I have had such bad bad luck with Pride, I am so disapointed with the lack of qualiy from pride whom dominates our market. I began with an early model legend, moved up to the new legend and then after the same noumerous problems they said for real durability i need to upgrade o their PMV Hurricane model, so I did and what do ya know the same problems again and again. I am ready to move on to a new and hopefully better product. Again I think I found it in the Landlex. If you are in the market for a scooter I suggest you check them out on the web at http://www.landlex.com.
