Scooter Lift
Ever since Grandpa got his new mobility scooter he’s been like a new man. You should see him! He charges it up over night and in the morning he’s off. He drives downtown on the sidewalks and beeps, waves and smiles at everyone who crosses his path. He’s says he’s never had such fun. Before he got his new scooter, grandpa hardly left the house, and now you can’t keep him inside on a sunny day. But one thing still worried grandpa. After he was finished spinning his wheels, he had trouble getting his mobility scooter in the trunk of his car. Even though scooters don’t weigh very much, grandpa is well past his weight lifting days. Oftentimes, he had to stop a stranger on the street and ask for help, which always embarrassed him. Grandpa is a proud, independent man. And that’s why he was so happy when mother bought him a scooter lift for his birthday.
A scooter lift does just what you might expect—it helps grandpa lift his mobility scooter into his car. The scooter lift my mom bought for him is easy to use. It attaches to the hitch of his car and doesn’t have to been bolted on. It runs on the battery of the scooter itself. Grandpa just connects it to the battery and the scooter lift does the rest. After only a few moments, the scooter lift hoists the mobility scooter up high enough so that grandpa can guide it into the open trunk. Then he just removes the scooter lift from the hitch and places it in the trunk right alongside the scooter. It’s that easy! Most lifts even break down into three pieces, so they can be stored just about anywhere.
Now grandpa is free to spin his wheels for as long as he likes without having to worry about asking for help from strangers. His new scooter lift allows him to the freedom and independence he has always cherished. Mother is happy, too. She’s says she’s never seen her father so full of life and energy. She says she hopes she’s like that when she’s his age. I hope that, too.
