I am purchasing one of the older models off of Craigslist tomorrow and after seeing how expensive the batteries are, am curious as to how long they last, especially because since after saying it holds a good charge, he mentioned that I could always purchase a new battery . . . Thoughts? He bought the scooter in 2012 and said via email he never used it (although he said he took it to restaurants and drove it around his complex when I talked to him on the phone . .

When ...Could it be the on/off switch is acting up? When you try turning it on and off several times, what happens? Do you have the old or new model? Did you put your battery back on the charger to be sure it's "greened up?" There's not much that can go wrong on the TravelScoot, so luckily maintenance isn't something you'll have to deal with a lot. Do you have a person in your life who is good with mechanical things? They could be a big help, even if they're not familiar with the TS. How old is your scoot? What type of battery does it have and how old is the battery? We'll help you however we can. You can also call TravelScoot and they'll help too. I hope you're scooting again quickly!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09156010615191523258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4458890811413794242.post-81254272925164525702015-01-26T19:03:54.848-06:002015-01-26T19:03:54.848-06:00Sorry about the unrelated comment, but I need Trav...Sorry about the unrelated comment, but I need TravelScoot help :-).
