I am 6ft, 180 lb. I can only walk so far, I have good muscle but it is to heavy for me to lift. You can drive it to the gate of the plane, I always pulled the battery, step on red thing, it folds up like a suitcae, they store it, it is there when you get off. It is a rough ride on sidewalks expansion joints, any place surface is not smooth. I sat on a memory foam type seat cushion. I drove it thru the sidewalks of Boston, driving on and off subways, a bus. This is where you have to be able to stand and help it along. Its great at conventions, cruises. There is no storage, I staped a 6-pack size cooler to the back, I carried charger, never did have to use it while I was out and about. I am ordering another , my friend bt mine when I did not need, he did.
