From John - 68 years old, retired Safety Engineer (OHSA compliance officer for both Manufacturing and Construction), and with over 500 visits to WDW and US/IA over the past 40 years, I can sincerely say that our GMS Victory 10 3-wheel ECV's allowed us to enjoy "The Happiest Place on Earth" to a degree never achieved before! For us, it worked out to be just over $18. per day, each ... less than a day's parking charge at the parks ($22. a day during our two weeks of October 1 - 15 of 2018)! Nick was our contact and was readily accessible whenever we needed to contact him for anything, on time for delivery and pick-up, and truly a young man possessing both Professional and personable mannerisms at all times. Our "trusty steeds" performed beyond that which was advertised and expected, and aside from 'saving our bodies', were super-comfortable to both sit on and drive around. I'm 6' 5" tall and weigh 240 lbs. and the seat height, width, and backward adjustability, didn't make me feel "cramped" at all. One of the "bonus" features to these Captain's chairs was the ability to recline the seat backs and headrests while we watched the fireworks shows. Breaking them down and re-assembling them from transporting them to and from the parks in our rental SUV was easy and quick. I averaged about 12 minutes to do BOTH of them without straining myself or encountering any problems. The baskets on them are big enough to hold whatever you need, without the need for the optional rear basket that adds more length to the scooter, which could cause maneuvering problems (backing up and in and out of elevators). The cell phone holders were God-sends for carrying and re-charging cell phones and the water bottle holder easily carried our 1.1 liter sparkling water bottles. We saw the optional shade canopies on a few of their scooters at the parks, but again we didn't feel this to be a worthwhile option for us.
From Maureen - 65 years old and this was her 1st time at WDW - Thank God for our "trusty steeds" as John calls them...saved our knees, feet, hips and John's back (he's had 2 back surgeries and one on his neck). With the adjustable speed control, we were able to navigate safely thru the crowds single file in comfort and much more quickly than we could walk without having to stop every 10 minutes to rest. Both of us played sports, and I was a competitive disco dancer, so knee cartilage is practically nil. They even have a charging port and holders for your cellphone and beverages! They hold a charge for up to 20 hours, as well. Thank you, Gold Mobility Scooters for saving our vacation!
