Discover This Inexpensive $699 Mobility Scooter! – Check Out The VOCiC D31
How about a brand new mobility scooter for $699?!! Is it any good? Today I ride and review the VOCiC D31. This is just about the most inexpensive mobility scooter you can buy. Cost is a big factor for many people when choosing a mobility scooter, I know it is for me. But when I look for a cheap scooter, I also look for good quality. I don’t want to waste my money.
VOCiC sent this scooter to me for review and testing. I appreciate VOCiC making this mobility scooter available for testing by an actual mobility scooter user. So much of the information available about mobility scooters comes from dealers or retailers, and not from actual users. So it is hard to get an idea about what these scooters can really do in real life.
These scooters are shipped directly to your home. You simply take them it out of the box and put the pieces together. Assembly is super simple! Shipping was very fast via FedEx, I literally had mine in 2 days, shipped from California. You just charge the battery with the included charger and you are ready to go!
I like that the scooter has two keys, although the key is a bit bulky for carrying in a pocket, so I just left mine in. The controls are easy to use and comfortable. I really like the one-hand throttle style. You can operate the scooter forward or reverse from either side. The adjustable tiller handle is nice, and helps for folding down for transportation in a car.
This basic scooter can do it all. You can ride it indoors and outdoors, break it down for transport and take it on a plane. It handled grass okay for me too. It is surprisingly capable.
VOCiC gives you a 6 month warranty with lifetime support.
Would this be a good scooter for you? I like this scooter a lot! It breaks down for transport, it’s simple to operate with a customizable fit. It’s comfortable and goes 4 mph for 9 miles. Check out my ride and review, maybe this is the scooter for you!

Fast Mobility Scooter — In the Snow?!!
Today’s ride is the Ewheels EW-72 48v fast mobility scooter with a twist — in the snow! What happens when I take this fast mobility scooter out in the snow? Let’s find out what this scooter can do! Riding in the real world presents a variety of conditions, where I live, that can mean riding in the snow!
When I bought this I asked the guy I bought it from if he rode it in the snow and how it did. He said he did ride it in the snow and it did great. So I’ve been waiting for the white stuff to test it out. Finally got a snow day and I took it out. I was pleasantly surprised! It actually does pretty good with reasonable amounts of snow. That makes this fast mobility even more valuable to me because I can keep going even when the conditions aren’t good.

Rio Tinto Stadium Ride — Go Real Salt Lake!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm9yMBT5eTw
I take a ride around the Real Salt Lake stadium, home of RSL in the American MLS. I’m riding one of my favorites, my Juiced Bikes Scorpion. I got lucky and caught the empty stadium on a sunny day! After that, I head down to the freeway to give you the full experience. This is some legit urban riding, mixed together with a slow ride around a peaceful, empty stadium. Fun to take my ebike out for a ride on a sunny day.
I’m lucky I have balance and can walk, so I can still enjoy devices like this. It’s a big step down from the motorcycles I rode for 50 years. But in other ways, it’s not a step down. I can’t go as fast or as far, but it’s still exciting, and now I have full access to my immediate world. I can ride on roads, trails, dirt, sidewalks and even around the stadium. I can go farther and faster than my mobility scooters.
People like to tease me when I’m riding my ebike with my wife while she rides a pedal bike. They say I’m “cheating.” I think there are a fair number of people who view ebikes as cheating, but I don’t. I feel more of FINALLY. I started with a lead-acid battery ebike. Lithium batteries have opened the door to capabilities that I’ve wanted, but couldn’t get previously.
That being said, the battery ran out before the end of my ride. Pedaling that 100 lb. bike was not cheating. Go RSL!!

Traveling With A Mobility Scooter — Hawaii on Wheels!
Have you ever wondered about traveling with a mobility scooter? I did, until I took my scooter to Hawaii. In this video I talk about my experience traveling with a lithium-battery folding Glion SnapnGo. How did I do it? I show you. Also, I rented an ebike and rode along the coast. If you have limited mobility, this video might help with understanding the opportunities you might have. Come along with me to Hawaii! Traveling with a mobility scooter.
The video is quick because I was on a family vacation and I wanted to stay focused on the family and the vacation. But I did grab some shots and video and I put this video together because I think the information is important. You can read all about traveling with scooters on the scotly oter’s promotional pages, they have pictures of perfectly groomed people smiling brightly as they zoom along on their adventure. But that’s marketing, what is it really like?
I was nervous about how things would work with the lithium-powered scooter. I had ridden my kickscooter through lots of airports, but never a mobility scooter. I found all the documentation I could beforehand and printed out my scooter’s manufacture documentation in preparation. But they never checked anything about the battery. I did have to remove it and take it as a carry-on. But they also let me leave it on the scooter other times. I would just say be ready.
I also talk about renting an ebike for a ride along the coastline. That was really nice and really fun. It was $50 for 2 hours and they had the bike set up with a comfort seat and a basket. That was my first time renting an ebike, I would do it again.
In the end, the trip went well and I found it was easier to travel with my mobility scooter than I expected. I think a big part of the reason it went well is I had the right scooter in the Glion SnapnGo. There are options for traveling with a mobility scooter, but if you want to travel by air you will have to meet their requirements, and not every scooter can do that.
Thanks to everyone on my trip who treated me kindly, and there were many. Aloha.

Quick, Folding Mobility Scooter — Glion SnapnGo
Today I take my Glion SnapnGo out for a ride and review. It’s folding, lightweight, and faster than a normal mobility scooter. It’s easy to transport in a car and it’s FAA approved for air travel. I’ve had this mobility scooter for a couple of years and it’s become my ride of choice. Join my dog and I for a ride on a cold winter day! Speed Test Speed Test 0:35, Snow Test 2:13 Features 4:24. *NOTE: The baskets have been discontinued. The wire basket is available as an accessory though. I checked the website to get the selling price after making the video and didn’t notice until later they had changed the accessories from the time I got mine. The standard selling price has also been lowered.
Filming in the snow and cold is a lot harder. I still ride every day mostly because I take my dog for a run. I really don’t mind riding outside in the cold when I’m bundled up, but it does limit what kind of scooters I can ride outside. This one will stay indoors until the snow is gone, but I wanted to get it out and ride it one last time.
I am going to do a video about traveling with this scooter. Long story short, I took it to Hawaii and it was perfect. There are so many things Glion got right when they designed and built this scooter.
Jetson Bolt Pro — Ride, Review & Crash
Today I take my Jetson Bolt Pro for a ride and give you a review. The crash happens at 6:17. If you want the full ironic setup start at 5:40.Wear a helmet is the lesson! This is a 14″ 350w bike, lots of fun to ride. I GPS test the speed. Great around a campground and my grandkids love to ride it. The handle bars fold down and the seat is removable so it’s easy to put into a vehicle. But there are a couple of things you need to be careful with. Like wheelies! Other than that, love this bike! Jetson Bolt Pro: https://ridejetson.com/products/bolt-… Bell Sanction Helmet: http://tinyurl.com/32trrn97
The crash was surprising to me. I’ve ridden this bike for a couple of years and haven’t had any problems like that. Luckily, and I mean luckily, I had my helmet on. I landed flat on my back and my head hit the pavement. I didn’t break the helmet or anything like that, but it would have been a completely different story if I hadn’t been wearing my helmet. I ride often and many times I don’t wear a helmet. I do try to wear a helmet if I’m riding on the street. I wear it when I’m riding off-road. But when I’m out riding recreationally or just out for a quick rip, many times I don’t wear a helmet. This has gotten me thinking about it more.
I really like this bike. My entire family, every age, likes to ride this bike. LOTS of people like this bike. Communities have sprung up around this bike and modifying this bike. I want to get one of these taillights from a company that sells Jetson Bolt accessories, fafomodz.com.
While this bike is great for having fun, I wouldn’t want to ride it very far. It’s a micro bike, and it’s fun to a point. If I was riding any distance at all or wanted speed I would jump on one of my regular sized bikes. But if I want some mobility and I don’t want to ride a scooter, this is a great choice.
Fast Mobility Scooter – EWheels 48v EW-72
In this video I show the EWheels EW-72. This is a full-sized 48v scooter with 10″ wheels that reaches speeds of around 14 mph. Full comfort chair and fun to drive! I take you for a ride along and show you the features of this interesting mobility scooter. I don’t know the year of the manufacture of this scooter, but it’s older. I bought it used from the local classifieds. The seller had just replaced the batteries, of which there are four because it’s a 48v scooter. I bought it for under $500, the current model sells for $3000 at the time of this writing. In the video I list the price as $3700, but that is the model with electromagnetic brakes.
I didn’t really know what to expect. I knew it went faster than most mobility scooters, I knew it had rear suspension, but after that I didn’t know too much. It has taken me a while to come to understand what this scooter can and can’t do. This video shows me riding the scooter and showing the controls. I also use a GPS speedometer to get a true speed rating. You can get a feel for how fast this thing goes.
The things that have surprised me are 1) how comfortable it is, 2) how capable it is and 3) how much fun it is to ride! This is my new daily driver and it’s been great. I use it every day to take my dog for a run and he likes to run a little faster than a regular mobility scooter, he goes about 6 mph. This scooter can easily keep up with him and his occasional speed bursts.
I can ride it for 3 days of 3 miles a day, so about 9 miles. It can go farther, but I don’t want to run the batteries down too low. It seems to charge in about 4-5 hours.
With the big wheels and both rear wheels drive wheels, this scooter is really capable. Grass is no problem, it can handle dirt, bigger gravel and snow. I’m waiting for some deeper snow to really try it, but 2-3″ is no problem so far. It does drain the battery to drive on these surfaces.
It’s surprisingly fun to drive and the chair is really surprisingly comfortable. All-in-all, I like this more than I thought I would. Would I pay $3000 for a brand new one? I don’t know. They are probably better with front suspension. I’m excited I have this one and I intend to ride it and have fun!!!

Summer Mountain Trail Ride – 20″ Fat Tire Folding Bike
#scootercowboy #ebikes #vitilan
I live in the American West and it gives me a variety of places to ride. This ride video is in the summer, riding a mountain trail. I love the views, the blue skies and the wildflowers. I had audio issues, so this has a soundtrack, you can turn it down if you like. I’m riding a 48v 16ah 750W Vitilan i7 Pro. Multiple companies sell this frame, so if you are looking at buying this type of ebike, be sure to check the specifications. These bikes can look the same and perform quite differently.
This is a folding 20″ fat tire bike. It is easy to put in the back of my vehicle and take it places. This bike weighs 80 lbs, 20 lbs less than my non-folding 20″ fat tire bike. The suspension is great, especially if you upgrade the rear shock. The seat height is adjustable so it can be set up for a variety of people to ride. I switched out the thumb throttle for a half-twist and the response has smoothed out and made it better to ride. There’s a lot to like about this bike. It’s great for a ride like this.
Vitilan recently update this bike to version 2.0 and it now comes with either a 16 ah or 20ah battery. https://www.vitilanebike.com/products/i7-pro-folding-full-suspension-electric-bike?variant=43319802888370
Ebike laws are changing now that so many people have ebikes. I’ve tried to be conscious about the bikes I’ve purchased and the trails I ride them on. I haven’t gone higher than a 750W motor because once you do you are no longer an “ebike” in some of the states that I ride in. I try to follow the markings for the trails. Because of my age and physical condition, I could never be out in the outdoors like this without the aid of an ebike. I’ve been scowled at, yelled at and had long discussions with other riders about what is and what isn’t legal to ride on trails.
There are so many different types of bikes now, and so many more people riding them, that places traditional bicyclists had to themselves are now impacted. And after someone stays in good shape and works hard to climb up a mountain trail, I can can see how they would get a bit miffed when an ebike goes cruising by. But people are crawling all over everything. It’s not just ebikes that are disruptive. UTV’s didn’t exist a few decades ago, now they are driving over everything and having a far bigger impact on the available space to recreate than ebikes. People who don’t ride ebikes don’t know which bike is what, so the confusion is quick and real. We are having to adjust to each other.
So I’ve learned to take it on the chin, but sometimes I don’t. Just depends on the situation. But when I have a talk with most people they don’t have a problem with someone like me riding an ebike on mountain trails.
