I have just bought a new mobility scooter called Travelscoot (Google "Travelscoot" to see how great it is). Having owned the previous Travelscoot I knew how wonderful the vehicle was, however, it never had reverse gear, which was not on the whole a problem.
Where it was a problem was when we went on a cruise and entered a lift (elevator) to change decks. On most occassions I entered the lift and other passengers would crowd around me. When we got to our deck I had to push backwards with my feet and my wife informed the other passengers to beware as I was backing out.
The new Travelscoot has reverse gear, whilst still retaining all the other benefits it had before - i.e. super lightweight (30lb) - ability to take a rider up to 25 stone (350lb) + luggage - cool looking (teenagers love it) - all that and it instantly collapses to the size of a babies buggy! It was designed by a disabled aircraft builder to go in the overhead locker of a plane, so that gives you an idea of how wonderful this is to travel the world with.
Ok - so now I have a mechanicle means of backing out of a lift - however, when in reverse gear the Travelscoot does not emit a bleap etc. What then to do? That's where the IGGI Signal Pod Wireless Signalling System comes in. The Travelcoot looks like a mini bicycle when unfolded and has a similar, but larger, seat with down rod, so it should be ok.
Fitting the system to my scooter was a breeze and it worked like a dream. No trailing wires, super styling and now when I back up I click the hazard warning feature and both indicators flash and emit a loud click, click, click. The unit has an on/off button, so no waste of batteries when not in use. Also, when the rear unit is on there is a central intermittent small flashing red light, so at night you always show a rear light. The handlebar control flashes on the button that has been pressed, so the rider is aware the unit is flashing - this is a good extra feature in case the clicks can't be heard from the rear unit.
One other important feature, especially for cycle users, is that the rear unit easily slides on/off the fitment cradle for security.
Looking now for a computer unit to tell me how far I have travelled, which is important to me regarding the Travelscoots lithium battery (lasts for 12-miles between charges)
