Yes, at 81 I finally decided to get one because, although I can stand and walk, it is very painful. I have 17 titanium pins and screws in my feet trying to hold my feet together. Somehow, four of the pins and screws in each foot have broken and the feet have collapsed again. Since each subsequent operation to "correct" the problems require approximately 9 months of recovery, I just don't feel that at my age, I have essentially two years to devote to recovery with no assurances that the operations will be successful. I purchased a mobility scooter this year and it has proven very handy. It is a Golden Mobility scooter [https://www.google.com/search?q=golden+mobility+scooter&oq=Golden+mobility+scooter&aqs=chrome.0.0i512l2j46i175i199i512j0i512l7.7247j1j15&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8]. Mine is one with the controls on the toggle stick which I prefer. It breaks down into four parts for storing in the trunk or car. Each piece supposedly weighs no more than 35 or so pounds, so it is manageable. I do not have an attachment on my car to lift or carry it but that would be even more handy. It cost approximately $2,000. It is very handy in the right situations. Check carefully with the limitations before you buy. Mine works well on sidewalks, relatively smooth ground and in the suburban streets. However, you really need the "handicap" ramps to get on and off the sidewalk or you end up having to try to lift it up or down over curbs. It is not especially comfortable on side slopes. It has protection from falling over backwards but not for sideways. The battery is reputably good for about 15 miles fully charged. I think I have used for for at least 5 miles a couple of times. I am happy with mine and it is especially handy for events like car shows, state fairs and trips around parks with decent walkways or paths. It does not work well on soft ground or on leaf covered surfaces as the wheels tend to spin on the loose leaves. So, while it has drawbacks, I am happy that I purchased it. More importantly, so is my wife.
