    Default Need help with Scooters

    My lady friend needs a scooter due to a very bad knee for our trip the first of May.
    I was looking at Sun Scooters to rent.

    Has anyone used this company and was it a good or bad experience?

    Any input is appreciated.

    No experience with Sun, but we rented from Apple for my DS this last trip and had a great experience. Especially the customer service. We were given a scooter initially with a defective battery (died within 2 hours after a full charge). We were stuck in the middle of Animal Kingdom with the battery gone out with no warning. Within 20 minutes they brought us a brand new scooter to the park.

    They may be a new outfit or go by some other name because in nine years of renting scooters in Orlando, I've never heard of Sun Scooters. When I don't bring my own these days, I rent from Apple.

    Another Apple scooter fan. I was recovering from a broken ankle last fall and I rented a 3-wheel one from them and it was a great experience. They are by far the least expensive and it includes insurance with the cost. We are going again next week and my DH has a bum knee as well as COPD and is renting one from Apple.

    I too have a bad knee and actually need to have a knee replacement (whenever I can must up the courage). I have used several different companies and Apple Scooter is the best and the cheapest. Actually I will be at WDW tomorrow and my scooter will be waiting for me at Boardwalk villas when I arrive.

    Does the Apple company have a website or how can I get the phone number? We will be going in Sept and my mother can't walk well. I want to get her a scooter, so that she can enjoy this trip as much as me. Also, couple of more questions... about how much do they cost to rent and about how long does the battery last? Thanks!!

    Google Apple Scooters Orlando and you'll get their website.

    As for cost, it was $150 for us for the week (8 days), but I think there's some larger models that are a little more.

    The battery lasted pretty much all day for us (8-10 hours in the park). Could have gone a little longer, I think.
