I am very impressed! I have been researching mobility scooters lately and finally found one that meets all my requirements. I need something small, lightweight, and can be easily folded. This mobility scooter was designed perfectly for that job. Although I still have some mobility, my hip hurts after walking for a few minutes, so getting a mobility scooter like this would let me stay out longer and enjoy my holidays again. Nice one, eFoldi.
It would be really helpful if these companies asked a potential customer to demonstrate their products so we can properly see how someone with limited mobility can cope with the folding, unfolding and actual driving of the vehicle. It is no help at all, to see a fully fit, healthy demonstrator lifting things with one hand and hopping over (that somewhat expansive) middle section like a spring lamb! Also I know my arthritic hands could not cope with having to use that motorbike style speed grip. Where do you put your feet? Nor shown here but another video shows foot pegs, again not ideal for arthritic or reduced mobility people nor very elegant for ladies! We don’t all want to sit with our legs splayed apart you know!. This vehicle has a lot of plus points, but an awful lot of negatives too. Needs some more thought and planning I feel, but a good starting point just not there yet. Finally, please interact and reply to these comments, people are asking questions or making suggestions and are receiving no feedback at all. Doesn’t exactly inspire confidence.
I agree totally. Although this video does good in demonstrating how to fold and unfold the Scooter. I just wondering when I actually wish to use it, where does my feet go. Thanks for the demonstration on how to fold and unfold.
Somebody with heavy legs how on earth can they lift there leg over the big front middle section also where do your feet rest. What is the Max load capacity I'm 33 Stone or 200kg/400lb will this be ok to carry my weight. Please can you let me know if it is sufficient or can point in right direction for a travel scooter that is suitable and can carry heavy people Iike myself. Thank you I hope you or anyone can help me please I live in Newcastle North East of United Kingdom.
Looks like a beautiful machine but, as a crippled person, I see two drawbacks for a sizable segment of possible clientele. You can't step through it to get on it. It will be hard for some folks to climb aboard. The other problem is having controls on two grips. People who have had, say, a stroke might not be able to operate the throttle on one side and, what I assume is the brake, on the other. And personally, with the way the key sticks out, I can see myself easily bending or breaking it.
There's little pegs on the front wheel that drop down. Extenders are also available. So your feet go either side of the front wheel like a chopper type motorcycle
@@davidcommins4179 I thought this might be the case but it would be nice to see it demonstrated. Time got wasted here, the full demo could have been fitted in. I do wonder if this great design needs some more tweeking to make it a more allrounder. For example if one could push a suitcase underneath it would be very helpful. Also the seat seems very low. All in all the design concept is good but when one compares it to other designs on the market I feel that this one could do with some more features.
@@GreyTigre then it would be the same as all the others. It's good to have choice. I trialed one. It works for me. It won't work for everyone. Other scooter styles didn't suit me. There's hundreds of scooters on the market. I bought this one as its the best for my needs. It won't suit everyone. It's not perfect. None of the others were perfect. But it's the best option for alot of people as it is.
Quite ridiculous the demonstrator did not sit on the machine once and did not indicate the feet position which looks impossible for a disabled person. I found I was screaming at the video......."sit on the bloody thing" !!!!!
I agree with a previous comment, I would like to the demo done by someone with mobility problems like mine. These fully able bodied demonstrators have not a clue what it is like for a disabled person. Seeing an able bodied person demonstrating really puts me off buying.
The demonstration (talking) was far to long in between actually doing parts of the assembly. In fact when time was running out I was hoping to see a full collapse & fold up and also a full unfold and set up. Sadly no Also as someone mentioned the chair setup was not used. I kept waiting for the demonstrator to take a seat.
That's exactly what I was looking for. I'm researching the product for my elderly Grandparents, one of which has low lower body strength. Are you just supposed to swing your legs in the air?
Mint mozgássérültet nagyon érdekelne ez az összecsukható scooter amit a kocsi csomagtartójába betehetnék. Hol és mennyiért lehetne megvásárolni. Én Magyarországon élek Budapesten
Where do you put your feet? What wattage is the motor? Will i5 climb very very steep hills, I live at the top of a very steep hill. From the seat to the handlebars seems a long wa6, and once again where do you put your feet.
I have had an Atto for 2 years now. Great for going to local destinations from your front door. Bought by my son for just under 3K. However, it is not that light and it needs to be separated into two parts for ease of lifting. I found it a bit too heavy for traveling on and off buses, escalators and steps. I like the look and ease of assembly of the Efoldi mk 1.5 and I feel it will make my travelling a bit easier as it is roughly half the weight than my Atto. I have seen used ones going for around £1,200 - £1,600 on Ebay but I feel it would be wise to bite the bullet and buy new for the warranty and after sales peace of mind.
The challenge should be to ride one of theses scooters on the Footpaths of Blackburn VIC Australia. I do not have much balance and find at time the condition of the paths disgusting. The Council loves trees which uproot the concrete paths. Then grind them down. (concrete paths) They are not then level. I have a similar scooter to the above. The problem I have is the brake which also cuts out the motor (rear motor) . It locks the wheel and skids. Crossing roads is a problem as the gutters are old and also uneven. Further problem is that the various govt bodies also dig up the paths to put in infrastructure. Please test them on uneven ground. They are fantastic in shopping centres. My friend who has two hip replacements cannot go on certain footpaths as his scooter gets stuck. Also my fold up scooter has an expanding bag at back with provision under the seat for a box. I purchased a fold up box for $2.30 au which I keep in the bag. Open it when I go shopping. Most of the paths are about 50 years of age and are only replaced when a new house/units are built. Next scooter will have suspension.
Ciao, è carino il modello, ma non capisco dove possono poggiare i piedi. Non credo sul pianale a tubi appena davanti il sedile, non sarebbe una posizione ergonomica. Forse mi sfugge qualcosa, cortesemente potete chiarire la mia perplessità. Grazie. Fausto
Jeeeeez. Never mind the gymnastic straddling action. It’s far too low. I have osteoarthritis, amongst many disabilities, and am currently in line for double knee replacement..... even though I am incredibly fit there is no way I will be able to lower myself down to the seat. I would end up in a very undignified heap on the floor.
I'm sure there is such a thing as a lighter to a USB extension socket so you can plug it into the car if you don't have USB in the car. A lot of modern cars do have USB ports below the dash, where all the controls for the phone, satnav, radio, air conditioning, driving control Etc. is situated.
An interesting 'bit of kit' ! I am looking for a 'person trolley' (my phrase) - my first. I like this product. The demo (in a lounge room!!!!) was hugely deficient - wrong context, too too much repetitive and irrelevant 'spiele' (verbal exposition), and key items missing. As a former teacher of technical teachers I would not have passed this for 'teaching practice' ... but we could have worked to improve it ! Still like the 'kit' however ... but need to do a lot more checking out!
Well I need a scooter desperately I purched one here for a great price but and again but it never came! I tried to get some info but never could , even PayPal tried but all they could do was give me my money back thank God for PayPal.
Its an awful lot cheaper than most of these scooters. I'm only 39, but I was diagnosed with Lymphoedema 5 years ago after surgery to fit a bone anchored hearing aid. This sounds exactly like what I'm looking for... but what's the weight capacity or maximum weight limit? Is there a plus size version?
This guy waffles on far to long lol. I work in the industry with quingo and you can't compare this looks awful for comfortability 3 wheelers are notorious for bad stability. Also most importantly where do your feet go. Yes folds well but comfort and stability is priority
The design is totally flawed. How on earth is someone with mobility issues able to step.overvtgst centre section and then balance themselves on this thing, legs outstretched and feet on this daft footpegs? It's a motorised kids soapbox.
Way to low to the ground, why don’t they consult people with disabilities when working with these Adults don’t want to be talked down to or worse still ignored. Before you buy go to a showroom and check out the weight.
He gave us no important info, how much weight does it hold, how many miles does it go on one charge, where do we put our feet, why didn't he get on it, probably because it's not easy to lift leg over bar. This guy really needs to do a much better job on this demonstration. Also what is the cost and what are the dimensions.
It would appear from watching that the person demonstrating takes on the Train and all over the place. I do wonder if it is more for able bodied people for last mile comfort.
WHERE DO YOU PUT YOUR FEET?????????? $2600? I think I can do it for less, and from another comment, you're supposed to put your feet on two little bars on each side of the front wheel. Makes it hard as hell to turn, doesn't it?
Visit a welder or fabricator and ask them to make two detachable footplates which slot over the existing foot rests. Cheap and it works. Has to be detachable so they can both be removed when folding the Efoldi.
@@stevenhull5025 Lovely. I have to modify something to make it work for me? At extra cost? But, truthfully, your idea would probably work! Well, Steven, I found a Pride GoGo that weighs 71 pounds with a dry battery system that plugs into a regular wall socket and replacement batteries are $37. Has a 12-mile range on a full charge and maximum speed at 4 mph. That's good enough for me although I usually go much slower because I have a passenger! My scooter collapses to the size of a large suitcase, is very portable with four wheels. Now I gotta admit, here in Hawaii it cost almost $4000, on the mainland probably $2000. I am 82 and can drive it, and has a place for my service dog to ride on the floor. We are a wild pair on the sidewalks in Waikiki! Aloha, and thanks for trying to help!
