Guest guest Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 I posted this message a couple days ago and now I don't see it or any replies to it on the postings so I am going to try to post it again. (Sorry if it's a duplicate) I'm looking for some information on all-terrain vehicles to help me with 3-4 season accessability to outdoor areas with uneven, rugged, sloping ground. We live in Northern Michigan with thousands of acres of state land and also travel quite a bit down South where the US Forest Service has a lot of the service roads gated off preventing access by car or truck, (if you can't hike in, you can't gain access). Since backpacking and hiking are not options to me due to CMT I need to find an alternative. I can walk, (with AFOs), but not well for distances or on uneven, sloping ground. I'm not to the point where I'd like a wheelchair, but am looking for alternatives such as a scooter that can handle that type of terrain. I know that Medicare and insurance companies cover some of the costs for mobility aides, but don't know their regulations for what they consider a Scooter. What are my options here? Any help would be appreciated! ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 I have seen an ad in the MDA magazine (Quest) for what I believe you are looking for. I don't have a copy of the mag, but it has been in several issues and has a web address. It looks similiar to an ATV, but it is electric like a scooter. You would need an idea of the slopes of the terrain to determine if they have enough traction, etc. So you can get back to your vehicle and not stuck somewhere.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 Do you, or does anyone out there, know what brand of scooter this would be? > I have seen an ad in the MDA magazine (Quest) for what I believe you > are looking for. > > I don't have a copy of the mag, but it has been in several issues and > has a web address. > > It looks similiar to an ATV, but it is electric like a scooter. > > You would need an idea of the slopes of the terrain to determine if > they have enough traction, etc. So you can get back to your vehicle > and not stuck somewhere.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 Sorry, I went on vacation, here is what I saw in Quest http://www.vestil.com/wc/extreme4x4.htm I don't know anything about them other than I may get this if I move where traction with the Rascal would be a problem.
