Top Mobility is proud to announce the sell of the EV Rider Gusto Folding Scooter, designed to give riders a sense of comfort and protection as they ride. The scooter is equipped with large rear tires that give users a smoother ride. The larger tires balance the scooter, but they also provide the necessary torque that is needed to navigate over cracks and holes that are often found on surfaces outside the home. Larger tires also have better traction than smaller tires because it is able to hold more weight. Small tires do not have the capability to hold its value longer because of the amount of use for each scooter.

Larger tires, however, aren't the only things that make the EV Rider Gusto Folding Scooter state of the art. “The scooter's seat is equipped with memory foam. When you think about it, scooter users have to sit for long periods of time. If they sit in something uncomfortable or something that wears down it will cause more health problems,” says Richard Foldoe, Top Mobility president. Memory foam shapes itself to the contours of the body when pressure is applied to it, causing a cushion that is soothing. The memory foam technology was first implemented as a mattress top to assist those with back problems. It then took form in a pillow, then on to couches. “We want to sell something that will give them extended comfort. The EV Rider has a lot of things other scooters don't have or can't have. It has a great light package to help users in dark areas whether they're in a home or they're out in public.”

The light package includes turn signals, tail lights, front headlight, running lights, and reverse tail lights. Many scooters are not equipped with lights but this package allows users to be safer when they are out in public. Accidents are more bound to happen to scooter users without a light package than scooters with one. A particularly helpful feature of the scooter is the longevity of each use it offers.

With one fully charged batter, the EV Rider can go up to 19 miles depending on the incline of the environment. That is virtually unheard of for scooters. “The last thing anyone wants is for someone to be stranded. This scooter goes farther than the majority of scooters out there today.” The average distance of a fully charged battery is 12.5 miles.

More features abound for the Gusto Folding Scooter.

The scooter is lightweight, weighing only 99 total pounds. This scooter fits in the majority of car trunks once folded down and it doesn't require the use of a scooter or mobility lift. Weight limits for scooters average 250 pounds, but the EV Rider Gusto Folding Scooter has a maximum weight limit of 350 pounds.

Several scooters are designed to focus on one particular niche of users, but the EV Rider Gusto concentrates on all types of users from bariatric users to post-surgery patients. This scooter is sold through Top Mobility online where you can also customize your scooter.
