Testimonials

As a Eureka Scoota user of some years, I would like to express my gratitude to the company for the quality and endurance of the scootas.

As is usually the case with scoota users, I have medical problems that make my scoota my lifeline. I live in a small town and most of my non-grocery shopping is done in a larger town nearby. The distance is one hour of travel (10km) on footpaths and due to the power of my batteries, which are standard, I can do my shopping and still be able to ride home again.

I also use my scoota to travel to the railway station, take a train also on my scoota and visit hospitals, doctors, the zoo and family, etc. around Melbourne.

For recharging I usually do that at night and find there is little difference in the cost of my power bills.

Where's Frank* gone....

One of our retailers recently receivd a call from a concerned son regarding his father who was cooped up in his nursing home room all of the time; "Mate, he won't come out and it's terrible, he's just sitting there and slowly disappearing, can you do anything?"

Not one to shy away from a challenge, our fearless retailer said no problem; "One other thing" said the son. "He also suffers a little from incontinence, and won't speak to anyone about it. Any chance you could have a word?" Not exactly our retailers area of expertise but off he went to the nursing home to visit Frank.

After a chat with Frank our retailer realised this would take a little more work to get him out and about. "How long since you've had a beer Frank?"; "Do you enjoy a beer Frank?"; "You could get out to the pub Frank". Deal sealed and onto a more touchy subject but one which was handled with equal diplomacy when our retailer explained how easy it would be to solve and get on with life.

Our retailer delivered Franks shiny new Eureka Scoota on a Friday and he was straight out and about. A short scoot to his local pub Frank pulled in just in time to greet a group of young tradies; "You fellas don't mind if I join you?", no problem they replied! "So", said Frank "do the old rules still apply to shouts?". They all looked at each other, what rules would those be? Frank explained, "Every time someone needs to visit the bathroom they buy the next round?"; they smiled at each other weighing up Frank and replied, sure why not!

Our retailer was also enjoying his Friday night, he was having a quiet night in with his family. Suddenly the phone rang, it was the nursing home frantic that Frank was no where to be seen and it was 9 o'clock, did our retailer have any idea where he might be? "Where's your closest pub? That's where he'll be." Sure enough as staff rushed through the busy pub doors, there was Frank perched on his Eureka Scoota, holding court and very much under the weather with a very confused bunch of young tradies.

Frank was wheeled home very quickly and now has a strict 6:30pm curfew.
