I returned yesterday from my most recent Disney World trip. When I was in the planning stages and realized I wouldn’t be able to walk much, if at all, during this trip, I began researching
scooter rental companies, including here on the Dis Boards, and found Gold Mobility Scooters consistently received great reviews on multiple sources.
Nick was early for our meet time and arrived while I was checking in at the resort. When I talked with him a week before my vacation, I discussed using a 3-wheel versus a 4-wheel scooter. He brought both to the resort so I could try them out and select the one I liked best.
After using the scooter for a couple of days, I found the battery life decreased more quickly than I thought it should and I was charging the scooter 2 or 3 times a day in addition to overnight charging. I'd never used a scooter before, so I called Nick from my resort and explained that I thought I was having to charge the battery too often and wasn’t sure of the reason. He asked me a couple of questions about how I was using the scooter, and then told me he happened to be at my resort where he had just dropped off a scooter for another customer. He said he had some extras in his truck and if I wanted to come down and meet him, I could see if one of the other scooters would work better for me.
I tried out the larger Pride Victory 10 3-wheel and instantly felt a difference. He said the Victory was better equipped for full days of rolling around the parks with a larger battery capacity that lasts longer per charge than that of the Go-Go Sport. The Victory made the rest of my visit a breeze and I only charged it overnight as a matter of routine. The battery indicator never dropped below the maximum of 5 green lights.
The USB port on the tiller is a great bonus! When I found my phone had almost no power left while touring a park, I plugged it in and it charged it in no time, plus it didn’t seem to have an effect on the scooter’s battery life.
I could not be happier with my wonderful experience with Nick and Gold Mobility. Thanks to everyone here that recommended them.
