Hi Bryan:

This is a great picture. As you can see, I adore my two children. My Easy Travel has allowed be to do so many things with them that I couldn’t do in the past because of my mobility problems.

While the mechanics of scooter are amazing (it is lightweight and fits into the small trunk of my convertible) it is the enhancement of the quality of time with my family that I am most amazed by.

I have gone bike riding with my kids and taken them out for Halloween. As a family, we travel quite a bit and I can now handle airports independently. 

When we get to our holiday destination, the freedom and quality time just continues. I am able to give my wife much needed breaks when the kids want to grab a snack while we wait for our plane or if they want to go for a snack at our resort. I can take them no matter how far they want to go.

My scooter has been to Mexico (2x), Florida (2x), The Dominican Republic (2x), Manhattan (2x), Montreal and my cottage in Muskoka, all within about 15 months. 

When we are in the City, I can take my kids to stores, malls, movies…you name it, without any hesitation. My youngest daughter likes to ride on the scooter with me.

In my business, I bill based on time. The scooter has helped me save time because I spend less time walking at my slow pace between meetings or between offices so I am able generate more chargeable time.

I also come home more rested and able to do things with my family.

I’ve been able to do all this without having to trade in my fun convertible for a van with a lift because the Easy Travel is so light and compact.

Most importantly, however, I have been able to do almost everything that my kids want to do that I thought I would never do with them (and relieve some of my wife’s extra responsibilities). 

Look at their faces. Their smiles say it all.
