It is also possible that you have to go outside in bad weather to move to your next tour/ vacation spot. Here is what I hang on my scooter or walker or cane. Lightweight to carry and long enough to cover me and my walker or scooter. 546×750 16.3 KB Being insulin dependent type 2 diabetic you need a way to keep your bottles of insulin or insulin pens cool during trips/vacation Here is what I use but there are many other varieties available.

Have had the EzLite Cruiser for about 8 years. I had to get a larger model due to my size but have had zero issues with it all these years. None. Zero. It is not lightweight again because I got the deluxe size with larger all terrain wheels, about 70lbs but my wife can fold it, and lift it into the SUV using her tricks. Back then it was about $2400. I imagine is has gone up in price. Accessories and parts are available and they always seem to make improvements on it. Things like arm rest and kick stand did wear out but that was just simply from use. Great Customer Service and there are plenty of You Tube videos that explain things. We’ve flown with it without issues, though the airline broke the kickstand, and replaced it. Cruised with it no problems. We’ve toured cities and gone on gravel walking trails. It goes about 5-6 mph making my wife jog to keep up with me. Takes no time to charge it. I have not had to replace the battery in all these years!
