Bump - bu - bump bump bump - b b b bump

From Lynn Ellen:

Cobblestones. How well does the TravelScoot do on surfaces such as one finds in Europe?

I have a friend whose sister is considering renting a Scoot for a trip to Ireland, and she's wondering how it will do on cobblestone roads.

I have taken my Scoot on some bumpy rides, as well as well-packed gravel and short grass. and there is certainly a certain amount of wear and tear and athletic challenge in going over uneven surfaces.

Lynn Ellen's CrampBuster Review

From Lynn Ellen:

I got my CrampBuster at the end of the week and used it a bunch on Saturday. what a sweet addition to my collection of accessories. it really does make running the TravelScoot easier, and easier to use left-handed if I happen to need my right hand to open a door or something.

I got the wider black one, but I wonder if sometimes it might be nice to have the narrower one. They are so inexpensive that I might get a narrow one too.

CrampBuster Reviews

From Rhonda:  The Crampbuster is really easy to install on my TravelScoot (and remove, if necessary). I used it today at Lowes and I'm not sure why but I was amazed at how little pressure it took to make the scooter go. It feels very natural. I definitely give it the "thumbs up" and would recommend it.

From Bee: Okay ours came and Sarge LOVES it, mine slips so I had to use the rubber thingy that came with it in case it slips but his didn't slip. I like it pretty good but seriously, he loves his!!! Thanks so much!

Parades, Parades, Parades

From Peggy:

The real reason I got my scooter was to go to parades. I will admit it was VERY cold each time I went out so you'll see layers upon top of layers. My friends Loved not having to carry anthing. I did pretty well getting around. Most people were very nice. Just like ya'll I had a few people who were obvilious. People would move aside so I could get to the back and about 5 people would go in front of me. Eventually, I would yell, "Excuse me," then they'd let me through. Some people are just a little slow. I've learned not to let it bother me. What did get to me a little was all of the non-family people with our group wanting to help me lift the scooter, put it in my car, etc. I haven't used it that much, so I'm still learning exactly the best way to put it in Stripe. I keep having to tell them I need to learn. Most of them were fooled by just how light it is.

Jimmy, the parrot, was a great hit with my great nieces and nephews. The all had to squeeze it and when they were in the ladder they'd call down, "Aunt Peggy, squeeze the horn, Pleeeeease!" I squeezed Jimmy so many times, I wonder how it still works. Like children, they accepted Silver without blinking an eye. I'd tell them I couldn't do all of the walking anymore but still wanted to be around them. The most I got in response was "Oh." Kids are great.

The picture of me at Endymion is with my 7 month old great niece Leighton. The group of ladies is at the Saints Parade, but the Endymion Figure is at their open house, and the one with me is at the ALLA, etc parades.

Rent a TravelScoot

I was browsing the web and came across a site where you can rent a TravelScoot. That's news to me so I thought you all would want to know too. What's really neat about it is they ship it to your home so you can practice before your trip.
