Schwinn 2008 SW500 Electric Scooter ?

Question

I am wondering if this product, with technical specs available at:

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=8467098

would be suitable for transporting an adult, approximately 140 lbs, around on grassy, dirt, gravel and otherwise unfinished surfaces, like at a park? I am looking at this as an alternative to expensive "mobility scooters" like the Hoveround or PowerChair you see advertised on tv. Your help is appreciated.

Answer 1

I have a Schwinn S350 and it goes very good and I weigh 200 lbs.  It is a little sluggish on hills, but you are 60 lbs. lighter and a 500 versus 350 you would be fine.  My dad weighs 160 and has a 2006 S750 and drives it all over the place when on vacation, he is 70 years old.  Be careful they are quite fast, I've taken some diggers when going across grass and hitting some loose dirt.  Hope this was helpful
