Review of the Shoprider Sunrunner 3 Wheel Scooter, Blue (888B-3BLUE)
Owners of the Shoprider Sunrunner 3 Wheel Scooter are very pleased with it. Comments were “I love my scooter”, “good value “, and “top of line and a GREAT price!”. One owner purchased this one to replace the same model that she’d had for 7 years. Another owner said it was the second one she’d purchased in 6 years and, ” I have nothing but the biggest praise for it.”. Yet another owner called it “a top quality scooter” and said “I am very happy with the way it performs and would recommend it to anyone that needs a scooter”.
Power Source
Batteries: 12V33-38Ah x 2 12 Volts
Charger: Off board (3A) battery charger
Speed
Maximum 5 miles per hour per manufacturer’s specifications. Owners describe it as fast.
Length of Charge
25 mile battery capacity per manufacturer’s specifications. Owners report that the battery charges quickly. One owner uses her scooter every day for work and does 10-15 miles per day on it. She reports “good battery life and reasonable charge rate”.
Adjustability and Functionality
This mobility scooter has a good number of adjustable features. The deluxe captain’s seat is slidable forwards or backwards and it swivels. The arm rests are also adjustable and flip back. As well, there is plenty of leg room. Owners say that this scooter is comfortable and easy to manoeuvre.
This scooter for seniors comes completely assembled. It does disassemble to 4 parts for transport in a car trunk, and one owner reports that it is easy to transport.
Owners like the speed control, the stability, and the brakes. One owner said, “The two things that I like most are the dynamic brakes and the speed control”, while another person said her mother “loves the color and the power”. Another owner reported “I drive about 2500 Miles a year on it, on usually VERY rough sidewalks & rough roads. The stability is perfect, I can’t think of anything that could improve it…..except I would like it to go 20MPH instead of the 6MPH….but that’s illegal”.
This mobility scooter seems to hold up very well over time. Several owners report having had theirs for 6 or 7 years before having to get another and one owner says hers is an older model that has “held up remarkably well”.
Summary
Unlike the Shoprider Sunrunner 4 Wheel Scooter, which is heavier and can’t be disassembled for transport, the Shoprider Sunrunner 3 Wheel Scooter, though not a lightweight, can be disassembled into 4 parts, making this the ideal cross between a road-worthy scooter and travel scooter.
Owners of this mobility scooter have put it through some pretty heavy use, with one using it for work and driving 10-15 miles per day, and another putting on about 2500 miles a year on it on very rough sidewalks and rough roads. In spite of that kind of usage, these scooters seem to hold up for about 6 or 7 years. Owners love the comfort and stability, the easy manoeuvrability, the dynamic brake system, the power, and the long battery charge that this scooter holds. Two owners said they wouldn’t have much of a life without it. We would highly recommend the Shoprider Sunrunner 3 Wheel Scooter for its versatility of performance, both indoors and on the road, its durability, and the high level of mobility and satisfaction that it gives to owners. A blinkers and hazard lights kit is an available option for those who choose to use this scooter on the roads.

I would like to know if I could travel on Amtrac with this scooter. I love to vacation with my son in Oregon and have to take the train because of blood clot concerns on the plane. Also, can this be used around my house? Not for small areas, but to go down long halls in my apartment house etc.
Thank you
Patricia
Patricia,
You can certainly use this scooter indoors in the halls of your apartment house.
People do travel on Amtrac with scooters, usually checking them, but not always. Check out the comments from others who have travelled on Amtrac with scooters, at this website http://boards.cruisecritic.com/archive/index.php/t-1330848.html . You can also phone Amtrac at 1-800-USA-RAIL and ask for more details.
If you are disabled, you may be able to get a discount. ..but would have to provide written confirmation of disability at the ticket counter and when boarding. You aren’t able to get the discount if you book online. You’d have to book at the ticket office or by phone.
Hope this helps,
Linda
