I have found these boot scooters only enabled me to get around supermarkets or flat paved sea fronts and the like
Mine was a named good quality 9.5 inch wheel x4 boot model that broke down into smaller sections
But the smallest section ( rear wheels section) and large heavy battery was a pain to lift and fit into the car boot and then lift out bend down an reassemble
My back problems now prevent me from rattling along even on a shopmobility hire scooter
I have used many a shopmobility scooter and had some great days out in Brighton and Chichester sadly no more
Catch 22 for most of us as the reality is a much larger car or WAV is needed to transport any scooter thats anywhere near suitable to use around town or trip to the shops/zoo visits
As before boot scooters with a hoist used in the right limited places can be a god send for many
I certainly enjoyed my time with one when I was fit enough to lift and use it
