Family holiday with the Luggie - Susan Pryce (August 2010)

I thought I'd just report back about travels with my Luggie. I'd bought it to take on my visits to family in Oslo and I have to say its performance exceeded my expectations.

At Manchester airport on the way out the young lady at the baggage check-in was reluctant to accept my scooter because of its weight. However I pointed out I'd travelled with SAS before with a much heavier electric wheelchair. Eventually I was directed to a hidden away special baggage area where they accepted it without question.

I met a man with the identical scooter and case who was also flying with SAS albeit on a different flight and we compared notes. We'd both had the same experience. Thereafter everything went absolutely smoothly. As I travel alone I have to have help in the airport terminals and no-one refused to 'dolly' the case. Likewise taxi drivers were most obliging - I always asked for estate cars. For the return flight I did put the battery in my hand luggage in order to reduce the weight of the scooter case but I don't think I need have bothered.

In the Oslo suburbs the Luggie coped perfectly with the steeper paths and pavements and it went with me on the T-bane (underground) into the city centre. I didn't go on buses but they are mostly wheelchair accessible.

I am now planning my next trip!

Luggie onboard Azura cruise ship - Elaine Parmenter (June 2010)

The Luggie (and its owner) performed beautifully onboard Azura. We were constantly being stopped by other passengers asking what it was and where did we get it. It was transported on and off board with all our other luggage and was waiting for us when we reached our cabin. It was certainly an excellent buy. Elaine and Eddie Parmenter.

Luggie onboard a flight from Taiwan to LA - Ju Yu (June 2010)

I just wanted to share this photo with you. I took my Luggie on a flight from Taiwan to LA. I was able to drive from the terminal all the way to my seat. The ground staff can handle the Luggie very easily as it is very light and took it down to the storage area in the plane.

We love my Luggie - Digby Bradley (March 2010)

As I am unable to walk very far, I regularly use mobility scooters to get around. I have a large one to travel longer distances and up and down the steep hills around our home, and a smaller one that breaks down into three parts to fit into a car. This is the one we have relied on for travelling, taking it by road and air, but for a recent trip we planned to travel through Europe by rail, all the way from St. Pancras to Switzerland, returning through Germany and Brussels. How would we manage on the trains, especially the small mountain trains?

Fortunately, we saw an advert for `The Luggie` and decided to give it a try. It proved invaluable, so easy to fold and fit into the luggage spaces on every kind of train, as well as for getting around hotels, tourist attractions, in and out of taxis. It is also much lighter than my other scooters for lifting, which means less strain for my wife when helping me when helping Me.

The Luggie mobility scooter is robust, able to withstand all the folding and unfolding, and rough handling by porters and other helpers! As the batteries are light, I was always able to carry a spare, in a small rucksack on the back of the seat.

I have been amazed at the way my Luggie scooter performs on all kinds of terrain, up and down hills, around tight corners and in public places. Several times whilst travelling in Switzerland we were approached by others who wanted to buy it, or get one like it!

I highly recommend the Luggie to anyone, particularly for travelling on any form of transport. My wife and I are now planning another trip to Germany.

Family holiday with the Luggie - Susan Pryce (August 2010)
After a lot of research on the internet, we decided to try out a Luggie. We were very pleased to be able to drive one straight out the shop for a test drive!

This combined with a demonstration by the staff of how easily the Luggie folds & unfolds, convinced us that this was the scooter my wife had been looking for.

It evens fits in boot of our Smart Car Cabriolet, which means we take it everywhere. It's a brilliant bit of kit and the staff at Leigh were friendly and knowledgeable.
