"My story began in September 1978 when I was involved in a severe car accident that nearly cost me my foot. During surgery, a pin was placed in my ankle, but I could never fully flatten my foot on the floor. Then, in 2010, I was told I needed an ankle fusion due to osteoarthritis. Although the fusion worked, over time, osteoarthritis developed in all joints in my right foot, especially in the midfoot, leading to worsening pain each year.

As time went on, my left foot and both knees became arthritic from compensating for my right side. I love spending time outdoors, and it was becoming increasingly frustrating. I’d often tell my husband that I wouldn’t use a mobility scooter until I was at least 70. But after searching for a long time, I discovered your website and was captivated by a video of someone in London using one of your scooters. I had been trying hard to find a scooter that would fit in my BMW convertible—a gift from my husband seven years earlier—and was thrilled when I finally found one.

We visited Cavendish Healthcare in Torquay, Devon, and they recommended the ATTO Sport. When I saw that it would fit in the trunk of my car (in two parts), I broke down in tears—I’d waited so long for this moment.

Without a scooter, one of my biggest challenges was visiting the places I loved. I wanted to enjoy time with my wonderful family and grandchildren, but I felt I was letting them down.

The first time I used my scooter, I was beyond pleased. It was sturdy, easy to handle, and even effortlessly navigated cobblestones and uneven terrain. Living on a steep hill, I was relieved that it could easily handle the incline. It’s stylish, too, and I often receive compliments about the battery and its modern look.

In April of this year, we took it to North Wales for a week-long holiday. The scooter truly transformed my experience. I could easily explore beautiful lakes and carry my picnic, walking stick, and a bag on it. I loved feeling secure with its puncture-proof tires and amazing lights, which were invaluable after dark.

Some standout features for me include its maneuverability in tight spaces and how quickly it folds up and down. I love that it can be pulled along like a suitcase and is airplane-friendly. The USB charger is a huge bonus, especially since I’m always snapping photos and videos.

This scooter has restored my confidence. Initially, I thought everyone would stare, but the reaction has been quite the opposite. One of my proudest moments was navigating around Marks and Spencer’s clothing aisles with ease. The braking system is excellent, too—I have no fear even on steep hills.

To anyone considering a scooter, I’d wholeheartedly recommend this one. It’s robust, sturdy, well-made, easy to fold, and stylish. I never imagined my life could change so profoundly.

Thank you, Movinglife, for everything."

What was once a “hike” filled with uncertainty and limitation became a journey of freedom. I watched with awe as these incredible women zipped down trail and dirt paths bursting with spring flowers and fresh herbs. They followed paths lined with blossoming trees, lavender and sunflowers. They explored an ancient village, learning its history while gliding over gravel and uneven terrain—places that would’ve been inaccessible without the ATTO.
