Review: Celebrity and Legend scooters

Product Information

Manufacturer: Pride Mobility Corp.

Reviewed by: Dennis Tucker from Polo , Indiana

Why did you purchase the product?
I have an older Legend that had given me good service but was now loud and loose.

How well did the product meet your needs?
Of the 5 sent, none was useable full time As I was unable to use any of them for more than a short distance.

Are there specific features of the product that you liked?
I can say that the controls seemed to work ok and they were all very pretty.

Are there specific features of the product that you disliked?
The Legend & Celebrity, I believe 2000 & 2001 models, have rear springs that cause the seat to lean badly forward and my 225 lbs is not enough to bring it back down to level. Thus it was not possible to eat , wash dishes or even run my computer from. My healthy children will not even sit in it to eat. The newest Celebrity is too long to fit on my UVL van lift and the new controls are harder to use.

Any other comments about the product's performance?
(If you haven't used it you don't want it) It has cost me $1500 and a summer out of my life to find this out. Even with photos showing one side of the seat 1 1/2" lower, Pride says that they do not have a problem with the seat being tilted, and will send another just like it.
