Mobility Scooter

I'm so fed up! My mobility scooter has given up the ghost (Apex Rapid). It was given to me by a friend and I have spent a small fortune on new batteries etc.
So I need a new one. The ones that will fit our car are all SO UGLY and of course expensive.
I wish I didn't need one TBH.
I have an electric trike that's great but this is something to look more acceptable on pavements and shopping.
Any ideas?

Hi, I have used a Travelscoot for 10 years. It's tough and been pushed up mountains with me on it, up and down impossibly steep roads etc. I love it. Kids love a ride. Lightest one in the world, designed by German engineer. DH flings it in and out of cars, folds up. Been on dozens of flights with me (don't fold, can get damaged if flung around hold). ZAPS up and down shopping isles, carries a lot of weight. Expensive, about 2 K. Best entry level one ever. Looks fun. Enables my freedom. Woth saving for. Li Battery does 20 ish miles a charge. Watch out on steep curves/ slopes on the road. Good luck

@1Endeavour2 The Travelscoot looks really great. When you say watch out on steep curves and slopes, how much of a problem is that? I’ve heard 3 wheelers are unstable.
