Motorized Scooter Wheelchair

I've heard there is an extended insurence for motorzed wheelchairs and scooters which is great because repairs to my wheelchair r bankrupting me.I think if the chair coast u over $ 2000.00 then they should have an insurence like on cars n trucks.
Anyone out there agree say yeah!!! ;0}

Look up maker on-line they should offer this ,If not Sears Has some programs, also check with some of other medical supply stores in you area and see if they know. My cousin in Oregon called and found someone who new where to go.

Cool Stuff from Germany, easy to manoeuvre.

I was at Disneyland yesterday and it seemed like 1/3 of the crowd was in motorized scooters or wheel chairs. There were definitely people who needed them, but I also saw a lot of obese people scooting around who didn't seem to have any other ailments other than not wanting to stand/walk. I also saw a lot of kids in wheelchairs (I guess you can rent them at Disneyland) but they didn't look hurt, in fact some were having wheel chair races.

OMG! Too funny! I was JUST looking out my window and I saw 2 people zooming down the middle of the street (illegal, by the way)on their motorized scooters! I live in the downtown area of my city and I can't believe the number of people with those things. If they really need it, then it's good that they have them, but I do see a lot of obese people with them. I can't help but think that they're only making their weight problems worse by eliminating the exercise they would get from WALKING! I'm not making any judgements against obese people. I myself was once considered "morbidly obese" and I had gastric bypass surgery, so trust me, I know the importance of exercise. If I hadn't exercised when I was my heaviest, I can only imagine how much bigger I would have been at the time!
Oops, got a little off topic there. While I'm sure a lot of people NEED those scooters, there are also many that don't. I also resent the fact that most people with those scooters are just downright rude when out in public. I've never heard "excuse me", only "hey!", or the beep of their little horns.

..those motorized scooters or wheelchairs that elderly people often use? I work in a hospital environment, and I often see people using the motorized scooters (the sit down kind), and their only "disability" appears to be that they are overweight.

Do you think people with weight issues should be provided with scooters like that? Doesn't it only discourage exercise, and perhaps even make the problem worse? What do you think?

I know what you mean I see way too many over weight people on them
like they should be trying to walk for exercise I do realize its hard for them to get around but at least try

(the wheelchair scooter by the way...) and she said that her daughter is in a hospital and that her credit card is denied and that she really needed 15 dollars. It seemed that she was almost about to cry for a second. Half of me really thinks that she had made a dramatic act. I had only 8.50 in my wallet. And half a five dollar bill. I gave that to her.She had thanked me and also wanted to know the price of the laptop and had started talking about laptops. She then had "blessed me", many times in fact. I can't help feel that I have been conned. And then she wanted my phone number so she can give the money back. I had then saw her go back to the sidewalk and to some person. And had continued to walk with her. I can't help wonder if that was all a trick. Right now, I feel more motovation to start working. (im 17)
This is the first time something like this had happened to me. To be honest ALOT had happened for the first time this year. Most of which were extremly negative.
she also had said that her other daughter is out of town....

....talk about not thinking critically...I just can't help thinking that I had been conned.

sounds like she conned you, walked down the street and bought some dope or something. in general i do not give money to people on the street but if i do i keep in mind the more they got to say its usually the more lies they got to tell you. they done it so many times that they just keep throwin out bait till you bite then they reel you in. you got to figure that someone who is "really" just tremporarily down on their luck or are just in a tempolrary emergency situation will first of all feel awkward approaching you because they have not rehearsed their whole spiel a thousand times and plus they truly probably are a little ashamed that they got themselves into that situation and wont persist to give you 15 minutes of b.s.. believe me dude i have lived in a big city all my life and i have heard em all. one guyu traded jokes for a dollar. that was original and i gave him the dollar. two weeks later he told me the same joke. i did not give him the extra dollar. a guy tried to sell me a 5 gallon bucket full of eggs that he had been lugging
