Scootarama no canopy

[TLSnell1981]

Weve always used scootarama, but it appears they no longer have canopies available. Any suggestions for an alternative scooter company?

TIA

Instead of a canopy, why don't you use sun protective clothing, a cooling vest, etc. I believe they no longer have canopies because most of the people who used them found them unwieldy and it blocked the view of others.

It's for DMIL. She has very sensitive skin and likes the canopy.

I have Lupus so the sun can make me very sick--I also have a redhead's pale complexion (my hair is gray now!) I use the things I suggested and
I use a prescription sunscreen. I also go early in the morning and stay in the shadows as much as possible when going from one place to another. I go back to the hotel before noon and come out again in the late evening.

For me a sunshade doesn't work because I found that the sun was always hitting me somewhere! Taking other precautions does work.

In addition to protective clothing, suncreen, hat, etc., I use a sunscreen umbrella--blocks the UVA/UVB AND underneath the umbrells is much cooler. I got mine from a link through the MS Active Source source website. SOmeof the best $$ I've ever spent. And it works in the rain!
