Liteway 8 mobility scooter
A Late Christmas present came yesterday as it as been on back order a class 3 8 mph electric mobility liteway 8 all aluminium frame light weight captains seat the ground clearance just clears from bottoming the 7ft ramp going in the back of the XC90 as the front wheels roll over the tail gate or we can just take seat off & pull the 3 battery packs out the back & me & the mrs can lift it in without a ramp if needed. there is an easy pull lever below the seat & the frame parts into two just behind the basket if smaller cars used or needed oh & its in the living room as the box is that big it came in is in the garage soon as its recycled the scooter will be in the garage not only that it was too bloody cold to mess outside yesterday mick

Aluminium lightweight frame, ground hugging, electric powered, lever to seperate the frame.......sounds like the spec for a hybrid supercar..!!

My mother had a rather nifty scooter more or less just like yours, although had a basket on the front. When she passed away, I advised my father to keep it, which he has. Unfortunately he has not bothered looking after the battery and it is kippered, so I would say that if you do not use it often, charge it every 3 weeks or so, as batteries ain't cheap.
Your piccy brings back some good memories as we had great fun with my mother, as she was a bit nervous on it and she didn't half pull some fine stunts...lol...My youngest used to love travelling with her 2 up. I used to love pulling 'wheelies' - great fun - but then again I am small minded - still great fun!! :thumbs_up: Regards |

That's the one I really wanted and just missed a couple of good used examples, but in the end I had this which is a 5 mph job only, but very similar in style. Mine is a metallic red:

That's ok m8 if it suits your need's. I personally need a captains seat being tall as the short seats start my back off but its only for when I take the caravan away & the grandkids want to come I can leave the seats up with the liteway as it's shorter if not I use my rascal 329le mick

It really is all about 'suiting our needs' and in my case, it does most of the time, 'cause I really only use it for taking the dog for a walk, probably 1-2 miles most days, and on the pavement ( 10-50 ft, wide grass verges ) but it is also designed for shopping, eating out etc and will break up, without tools to go in the car, but very tight fit in V60, hence thinking about changing to a V70.
I think that I really need an all weather job as well, so I am on the lookout for a used ( cheap) version of a waterproof job, but they are few & far between. |
