Thanks!
Pull a lever forward on the right side and pull a lever reverse on the left side.
Thanks!
They do have a Facebook page. I’ve messaged them a few t8mes and they are always quick to,respond.Thanks so much for this thread. I’ve had relatively good service from Best Price Mobility in the past and had been considering Walker for range and water resistance for my Feb trip, but reading through this thread has persuaded me to try Gold. My only hesitation is that so much is done through text and I’m coming from the UK with a UK mobile. I can call and text to US numbers no problem but it would cost them a fair bit to call or text my mobile number. Has anyone on here from another country used them? I will dedinitely ask them when I call what their solution is. Perhaps Facebook, or WhatsApp (though I’ve been avoiding adding WhatsApp to my phone).
Thanks again
Thanks. After the reviews here and on TripAdvisor I decided to just ring them and book. It was literally the most pleasant stress free booking experience ever.They do have a Facebook page. I’ve messaged them a few t8mes and they are always quick to,respond.
I loved their scooters. It was rainy when I was there a few days and never had an issue. And they even provide free ponchos and covers for the tiller. Extras even. Lol.
I hope that you love them as much as I did. They are truly the only company I'll rent from in the future. My last trip in 2017, I had major issues with the ECV I had rented. Then when it was time for the return, they were over an hour late coming to get it. I had a flight to catch and was afraid that I was going to be late for it. 2018 I rented from Gold and they were there right on time and there were no issues. I was very happy.Thanks.

For anyone else from the UK using their UK mobile (we can call and text US numbers while in the US on our plan) Nick said they text international mobiles all the time so that’s not a problem.
I’m so much less stressed about what could go wrong having booked with Gold. I had issues last time (two scooters failed on day 2) and while the company dealt with it well, we lost about 4 hours park time due to it. I’m much more confident with these being rotated out so none are over 6 months.
They seem to have a fantastic business model that’s working well for them and their customers. I’ll find out for sure in Feb
Thanks to this thread I rented a portable ECV from Gold Mobility for 10 days over Christmas week - and they were awesome! It was a newer scooter and I got the free back basket ( along with the front basket). The scooter worked great and kept a charge as needed. They also included the rain poncho and shower caps. I had them drop off at Universal studios and pick up at AKL Jambo. Both times the driver texted me as to his arrival and kept me informed of a delay. I have used both best price and buena vista in the past without complaint - but using Gold mobility saved me about $100 over the 10 day period. If I need a scooter (hopefully not, that's why I had the knee replacement ) I would definitely use them again.....

I didn't take any busses (portable ecv) - because I hate waiting for busses......However, it fit in all the elevators just fine with the rear and front baskets....Did you have any trouble using the buses with the rear basket attached?
Do you have any photos showing the rear basket by chance? I may just call Gold and ask them for a photo. And if I find it doesn't work I can remove it and leave it in the room.

We are in full agreement. We just reserved again for our second time with Gold Mobility today for the Flower and Garden show at Epcot this time in March. They are so wonderful. We hope to have the same great new ECV's and great service again!Thanks to this thread I rented a portable ECV from Gold Mobility for 10 days - and they were awesome!

I found them to be extremely un-helpful. My wife is short & heavy. She needs a certain amount of room between the seat & handlebar. I sent them a message on their site regarding this but they have not responded in over 4 days. Not very nice!
Check your spam folder, I had that happen with other companies and I was wondering why they hadn't responded, turned out they had, it was just in spam.I found them to be extremely un-helpful.

I have never rented from them before since I own my own wheelchair now, but they responded within 1-2 days on their Facebook website when I was looking for a photo of a rear basket for one of their mobility scooters.

Which mobility scooter did you want to rent? These scooters are basically one size fit all. Most can have the seat raised or lowered by one-inch increments. Very few have the ability to move the seat backward and forward although the last mobility scooter that I bought had this feature. Also, most mobility scooters have the ability to adjust the tiller and adjust it closer or further away. This feature doesn't work as a seat, but more as a swivel in an arch motion from the bottom of the tiller.
You can call them. That’s what I did an they were able to help me right away. Ask to speak with Nick. He’s very helpful.I found them to be extremely un-helpful. My wife is short & heavy.

Thanks for posting this about adjusting the tiller.
I found the information in the Victory 10 user guide for how to adjust the tiller angle
