Mia lives in Santa Barbara, CA, just got her new EZRide+ and is now going places!
“I’m still working on getting all of my additions and feedback on my new EZRide+, but I wanted to let you know how things are going so far. I had a friend in town recently. I live in a great community and usually don’t need to go very far, but we wanted to go out and about, starting with the restaurant across the street from me. I live half a block from the beach. It’s beautiful here. In the past, I’ve had to have help going to the restaurant, which sits right on the beach, because of speed bumps, uneven pavement, and steep slopes onto sidewalks. The worst are the crosswalks that aren’t flat so when using the wheelchair manually, I have to work really hard to not veer off the path. And then the time runs out and everyone is waiting for me. So embarrassing! Anyway, the EZRide+ got me to the restaurant nice and easily with no hang ups!
Once there, the couple seated at the table next to us were enthralled by the machine. They watched me detach it and place it next to the table on the kickstand. They told me her father uses a wheelchair and this would be great for him. They took pictures and asked a lot of questions. I demonstrated it for them and told them what a game changer it is for me. This happened at the other two places we went that day. People were telling me how cool it is! No one would ever say that about a regular wheelchair or mobility scooter 🙂
I’ve attached a picture of me riding my way to brunch, as free and as independent as a bird!”
