I was going to say the same thing! My son had a vo-tech teacher who used one to get around, and he just loved it. Of course, he also wasn't disabled!

In another life time maybe, but I don’t have the balance, can’t use my right hand, but it sounds great fun. My sister used one to get around in Berlin, and she said it was brilliant, and she is 70. Go for it if you get the chance. 😊

all those things above. They operate by balance! Sure looks like fun..

My uncle had one when they first came out. I tried it then (before MS and I think I was 19 😆). I couldn’t balance on it! I thought it was really difficult and I was an athlete back then too, lol! If you can do it, go for it!

Back when I did art fairs I saw an able-bodied man run straight into one of the tents.

It was proof that I can't be trusted with one..golf carts either & I don't have to balance myself on one.😂

If it pertains to having balance, it’s a wrap for me! I can’t balance to walk straight half the time.

Requires balance and proprioception - both in short supply among MS sufferers. My husband considered it early on in the disease, but ruled it out because of his balance issues.

I'm like others here, I would love to try one out as long as it came with the following accessories: a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, 5 rolls of bubble wrap, a safety kill switch, and training wheels.
