I purchased my first Zoomer after a stroke because I only have use of one hand.I tried scooters but they were miserable,you can't get in or out without help until you recover some.I have big feet and most scooters do not have much foot room.I do not have that problem with my Zoomer.The feature I like best about the Zoomer is you sit up to the dinner table just like everyone else,it goes close up to the table like any dining chair so you can be like the rest of the family also great when you go out dinner with friends!The Zoomer is not the most comfortable chair but it is good.You could opt for an ultra comfortable chairbut they do not the features of the Zoomer light weight,ease of stowage,great turning and door access and even goes in grass and gravel.I am so satisfied I bought a second Zoomer just to keep in the car and the other just for the house! Best of luck to all who need a great powerchair.
