Hi , i am thinking to purchase these for my elders to travel oversea, they can sit and stand well but too tired to walk far ahead

so i was thinking with this, they can sit on this and walk with us together while sightseeing

i've seen youtube video it work on roads outside as long its flat , if i not mistaken also i ;ve seen it working on grass (i might be wrong)

but i cannot find any video showing old people using it

i've seen it in airport but only kids and adults having fun with it, not elders

can anyone please advise?

thanks


Edited ——

I am not using this in airport , airport I can use wheelchair instead

I am using it on public walking streets for elders
Not young ppl

Sorry to tell you this but some people who use this are a nuisance in the way they get around. So I don't think it's a good idea for old people. Especially now that all the airports are so busy.

Also if not mistaken some airlines do not allow. So before you travel have to check with the airlines and the maximum lithium battery size allowed in cabin. So for old people you adding stress to their travel
thankyou

Yes... Cannot pass airport security... Don't bother...

Also, the width of the wheels are not wide enough to provide stability for your elders... They could seriously injured from the fall...

We wasted so many words on these but let me just quote [JFK Terminal 4 Rules And Regulations](https://www.jfkt4.nyc/rules-regulations/)

>
No person shall skateboard, roller-skate, ride a bicycle, scooter or operate any self-propelled vehicles or device, except a wheelchair, in or through Terminal 4.

Quite obviously they are not or should these proliferate won't be alone.

no old people is using it because the sitting position is bad for their posture.

also older people are bad with their balance especially with small 3 wheeler like this

no . absolutely bad idea. just get a wheelchair for elderly.

those things hard to balance for adult, more so for elderly. then with their slow reaction times, will just hit people or fall around .

a big NO

I also looking for something like this. Something suitable for quite healthy people, but cannot walk too far or stand too long.

Our nations obesity rate is high. Just treat it exercise to walk at the airport lor.

Old ppl i understand, i saw once a young fatty bum bum lady also ride this at KLIA2. I was like you are fat already, just get up and walk your fat arse to burn some calories lar.
