Crossy Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Excellent! Independently mobile You look a darn sight happier on the scooter than you do in your avatar. What's the expected range on a charge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samuijimmy Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Well done Colinneill! Now you have two threads to keep up, one inside your gates and one outside... we look forward to both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinneil Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Yes i am happier on the scooter, freedom not locked in the gate. Ramp at the gate is too steep for me in my wheelchair. To answer Crossys question it has a range of approx 30 miles on a full charge. 10 mph, i think it is fantastic. In answer to Halfaboys comment, it is a mobility scooter, no license or helmet required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Absolutely bucking frilliant (you have no idea how long it took to explain spoonerisms to my Thai engineers). So, now we want to see where you can go (fit off-road tyres) The photo with the boys in Global House should be your new avatar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No helmet required ; I can understand that but it's better to wear it even it's not obligatory; a helmet is better than a cap if you receive something on your head . I cycle a lot here, again 72 km today ; the helmet is not obligatory but I wear it always . Who shot the photos Colinneil ? I'm happy you can visit the world outside ...

Kan Win Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 In answer to Halfaboys comment, it is a mobility scooter, no license or helmet required. Wait until a dog or two comes out and hits you mobility scooter and then see if no crash helmet really works for you. My wife was on her motor bike years ago, dog came out of nowhere, of the left hand side, hits her bike front wheel, broken right arm, still has her steal pin in it, full face crash helmet ON and that was what saved her life. I MADE HER WEAR IT. Good job we are not all as crazy as you are colinneil We call these folks that do not protect their heads as Temp Citizens on bikes of all kind. Any way, you are old enough to know that and yet you are teaching by showing all folks (See, no license or helmet required), that is the sad part of your posts. Many a Thai and Non Thai in Kan are in the same club as you are, just Temp Citizens. in my thinking. To one and all, please keep safe and sound on these Thailand roads.

Crossy Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Guys, it's a 10mph motability scooter not a Fireblade, even in the nanny-state UK it wouldn't require a lid. Anyway I thought this was the photography forum not Bikes sorry Motorcycles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villagefarang Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I think we should all be celebrating that the OP in no longer bedridden and is able to get out of the house. Perhaps someone was trying to be funny but it didn't come across that way to me, especially considering a slew of negative comments recently.

nongai Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Can you ride it into places like Macro or TescoLotus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinneil Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Can you ride it into places like Macro or TescoLotus?Nearest Tesco is 11 kilometers away, so not an option. A new BIG C is being built 2 kilometers away, so when that opens i will be in there. I go in to Global house which is only 2 kilometers away. If i go too far my boss (wife) gets angry with me. Yes all you people who say my wife dont control me, mine does and due to the fact i rely on her i have to accept it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
