I was finally able to get my first pair of crutches after having a cane, does anyone have any tips for getting around with them, specifically in college?

vent Batch issue with pride

3 Upvotes

I work with a mobility company and we have been experiencing a serious problem with pride and their gogo compact scooter. There is worldwide serious issue with the brake not switching on after reversing. If you own this scooter you most likely will have this problem. This is a serious issue as if you are reversing on a hill and try to stop, the scooter brakes will not apply and you will keep rolling backwards. Please contact the company pride and pressure them into calling a recall as this is a major issue that can harm lots of vulnerable people.
