Easy mobility - Retirement Focus

Travel America, March-April, 2002 by Pat Woods

Wheelcare's newly designed SuperLight scooter, perfect for indoor use and paved outdoor surfaces, can easily be stored in a closet or the trunk of a compact car. It can be assembled and disassembled in less than a minute--without tools. SuperLight's heaviest part weighs only 23 pounds. The Medicare-approved electric scooter carries up to 250 pounds and is carefully engineered to act like a large spring, absorbing shocks from bumps.

Its low center of gravity ensures greater stability, eliminating the need for anti-tippers, which reduce ground clearance. Manufactured suggested retail price is $2,295. Contact: Wheelcare, Inc.
