I ordered the Triaxe Sport Mobility Scooter around Nov 27, 2024. I received it on Dec 2, 2024. (order #EM2885) I highly recommend ordering the optional 18” seat. I’ve been using this scooter for about 9 weeks.
Overall I do recommend this scooter for outside use on pavement. I don’t recommend that it be extensively used indoors because it does require both hands to operate (left hand for the brake and other controls, right hand for the throttle.) It will not work off-road. (my experience: construction had blocked the sidewalk for 5’. I tried to go around the construction on the grass. I made it 6” on the grass before the front wheel drive started to spin.)
I already own a Pride GoGo Sport and a generic Chinese 3 wheel disaster. I had spent several months researching the Triaxe Sport.. I pretty much understood what I was getting myself into. It did bother me that there were not many customer reviews.
Pro:
- Verified top speed of 12 mph with 3 “gears” (plus reverse)
- Reported range up to 35 miles (Since it is winter, the longest distance I’ve gone is 11 miles).
- Weight of scooter w/battery is 52 lbs. I can easily lift the scooter into my car.
- Weight capacity is 350 lbs. for passenger and cargo.
- Good rear disc brakes!
- Fast shipping and delivery!
Con:
- Cramped seating (distance between seat and handlebar post is 8”), It does not have a lot of legroom.
- Front wheel drive with an almost bald front tire to provide traction? (tread depth ~ 1 mm)
- Uncomfortable seat with only 2” thickness of seat cushion and a very small “backrest”. I found the seat to be uncomfortable on longer trips.
- Throttle is only a ½” band on the hand grip. The throttle is hard to use wearing gloves.
- It does not have suspension on the rear wheels.
- Front bumper/pull handle impedes turning radius.
- Location of horn button. It is extremely easy to unintentionally hit the horn button.
- I did not receive the The Enhance Mobility Freedom Bundle with my purchase as listed on their webpage.
- I'm concerned with getting future repairs done since I don't have a dealer close to me.
My wish list for the Triaxe Sport Mobility Scooter:
- Better seat
- Throttle extending the entire width of the hand grip.
- 2” more legroom
- Better battery gauge (voltmeter?)
- Speedometer and odometer (I currently use a bicycling phone app that uses GPS for my speed and distance traveled.)
- Better full suspension
