I am very pleased with this product”.

Power Source

Speed

Maximum speed of 4 miles per hour.  Owners are happy with the speed of this scooter, calling it “fast”.

Length of Charge

15 miles battery capacity.  Several owners say this scooter has a long battery life.

Adjustability and Functionality

This mobility scooter has flip-back adjustable arm rests, and good leg room but is otherwise not adjustable. Owners describe it as comfortable and love the way it drives, and the ease of maneuverability. Most owners describe the motor as powerful.

They call it easy to transport since it breaks down into several light weight parts. One owner says,“It travels well in the back of our sedan and provides enough mobility when I need it.”  Even though owners say it is easy to disassemble, one owner “purchased a lift that goes in the trunk of my car that transports my scooter when I need its use at grocery stores, restaurants and other retail stores.”.

Several owners commented positively on the headlight, with one owner saying “I like that this model came with a head lamp as some of the other travel-type scooters did not offer this amenity.”. Another described this scooter as “light weight and has a good front light “.

One owner doesn’t like the back-up sound that the scooter makes as she feels that it could wake up others in the house in the early morning hours. She is, however, otherwise very happy with this scooter.

This mobility scooter got only one negative review. That owner said “poor electrical system, short battery life, slow, weak motor… When inclined, the electrical system cuts off and cannot be restored until it sits a while. In addition, the speed gear is difficult. It starts slow and increases speed very slowly making it impossible to go up inclines or cross a street quickly… flimsy and can tip over in a heartbeat.”.  His experience is an isolated one and not typical based on the other owners reviews.  None of the other owners mentioned any problems with inclines or with the electrical system. In fact, a number of them referred to the battery as “long lasting” and the motor as “powerful”.  We can see, however, how one might feel that any 3 wheel model might not be quite as stable as a 4 wheel model.

Summary

Overall, owners rate the Drive Medical Phoenix 3 Wheel Compact Portable Travel Power Scooter as a 4.5/5. With the exception of one owner who seems to have had a bad experience with the electrical functioning of his scooter, owners are very pleased with this scooter. They like the comfort and convenience, the drive and easy manoeuvrability, and the portability of this scooter, calling it “an excellent mobility scooter“, and “great…lightweight, step-saving”. Of particular note was the mention of the headlight, a feature usually found on the heavier duty scooters and not usually found on the travel scooters. Owners were quite pleased with that extra.
