Comfort Features
Compact scooters don’t have a reputation for comfort, and the Transformer 2 mobility scooter is no exception. Its relatively straightforward stadium seat offers visibly less cushion than most bigger scooter options. The seat height isn't adjustable nor does it swivel. However, the generous floor space provides ample legroom for your comfort during use. It does feature front and rear suspension which will increase your comfort during your drive.
Safety Features

The LED headlight will not only make you more visible during use, but it will light your way during the evening hours. The increased ground clearance will provide added safety as the bottom of your scooter won't scrap the ground and get caught on things.
Maintenance
The lithium battery does need to be used and charged semi-frequently. If lithium batteries aren't charged you will see a decrease in performance. Other routine maintenance Enhance Mobility recommends is gentle cleaning and checking specific areas for wear and tear as outlined in the user manual.
