ECV Options

I was thinking about that, too. How do you transport the chairs? I am worried lifting in and out of the car will cause more injury.

The zoomer is really easy to transport. We separate the bottom wheel/motor from the chair itself. The chair itself is really light, not much different than a beach chair, but it is bulkier than we would have thought.

The motor/wheels is quite heavy, there’s 2 handles that allows us to lift it. We leave the battery in but you can take that out as well. It’s maybe 200lbs in total and easier to handle than our luggage.

When it’s all one piece, that’s a different story. While possible, I disliked trying to drag it behind us. Lifting it all as one piece was also unwieldy.

That’s where we liked the ATTO. Especially since I don’t need it normally, it’s easy to put into trolly mode and walk through the airport, wheeling it out to the car or to the hotel room.

However, both pieces are heavy and more difficult to handle than the zoomer. It does separate into two lighter pieces, that makes it easier to move, but I wouldn’t call it luggable. I almost preferred it as one puce fully folded up like a carry on. While heavier the handles made it easier to get in and out of the car.

Some size perspective with it separated:

In terms of comfort, the zoomer is more comfortable. In terms of ergonomics, the ATTO offers more intuitive controls. Both are good devices and I haven’t been able to decide between the two right now.

Not all Zoomer chairs have the removable "power" section with the rear wheels and battery section that comes off - although if you can find a good used one with that feature, that is on the newer Zoomer chairs, and it does make a huge difference. The new models that are now being sold by Journey (the manufacturer) all have the removable power section. The only downside to that modification that they made is that it did lower the maximum weight for a user from 300 pounds to 275.

Trying to contact MamaBunny (IDK how this forum/contact stuff works). I’d really, really appreciate talking w/you about TravelScoot seat alternatives. I need alt seating solution (like how you did a boat seat), otherwise love my new TravelScoot.
One more Q: Have you found a way to “lock” front tire & steering so front doesn’t move during transport?
TY for any help.

Has anyone done the MK Keys to the Kingdom tour using an ECV?
I did one in an ECV as long as you can transfer into a boat and a moving walkway ride ( you go on two rides and I do not know if you know what ones there are) then you will be fine there were 3 people in my group that had mobility device the only thing that took some time is the elevator going down to the utilidoors only fit one device ( or it was the one that was coming out) any ways very fun and do able in an ECV
