Sturdy comfortable machine. It breaks down into manageable sections so we can get in the car and still have room for two dogs. It goes onto the folded down back seats, the rear chassis splits away from the front and main board, the seat itself folds down for transportation and again lifts away from the main board. Lastly, the battery is in two sections so whilst they are sealed lead acid type and quite heavy , about eight kilos each I seem to recall, we manage very well. Once we arrive at our destination the whole thing goes back together with little fuss. Need to make sure the rear chassis section clicks properly into place , everything else is easy. You know if it is properly fitted as the scooter won't operate unless you've got it right. So far we have used it on gravel tracks and grass mainly, walking the dogs, and it has made a big difference to my wife who can now get out with us when she wants to. I now struggle to keep up with her, quite a difference for me now not having to push a heavy and clumsy wheelchair. The company brought three different models from their range for us to try and whilst the two newer designs were theoretically better in terms of transportability , they were too small and uncomfortable for my wife. The Zest Plus HD was our choice over the Minimo or the Maximo, it has a long range, simple controls and a wider and longer wheelbase which has managed some pretty steep and uneven ground . Cannot fault the company or their representative, no pressure during the demonstration, and the Zest is proving to be a good choice for us.

Will go absolutely everywhere, just took it to Yorkshire moors for 2 weeks. Been up tracks and through forests etc. . Fantastic. Comes apart easily to go in car. The addition of the charger plate makes it so much easier to charge. I am 5'1" and have no problem reaching the foot plate or the ground. Seat exceptionally comfortable.
