I have a "Little Rascal", and it does OK getting me from place to place,
although it hasn't held up as well as I'd hopped.  It does break down into
manageable pieces for putting into the trunk of a car, with the heaviest of
the pieces weighing in the area of about 40 Lbs.  Has no shocks at all, but
a decent padded seat and pneumatic tires smooth the ride a whole bunch.  The
model I have is a rear wheel drive model  (both wheels are driven), and I can
go pretty much wherever I desire.  The batteries are rated for 20 miles on a
charge, but damned if I can get it...course I am probably a little (lot)
heavier that the person who established that distance.

Sure beats not going...which I would do alot of if I didn't have a scooter.
If youy finances can manage a lift, they are worth their weight, and u never
have to take the scooters apart in order to be auto-mobile.
