More times than not.
Once in a while.
Been so long I hardly recall.
Never

Bill from Stockton, CA, USA submitted this review on October 29th 2009 at 10:02 AM. Bill is an end user who has one to six months of experience with the product.
Strengths:Comfortable - I'm 6'3" and weigh 240 pounds. The Golden "Buzz Aroud" just zips right along - I really have to watch my speed as it will take off on me.
Weaknesses:I would like a basket in the back. They say it would make the scotter too top heavy and unbalanced.

I think if you have someone who is mentally stable and understands that the extra weight in the back could cause problems if you go "too fast" or try to "turn to quick" then they could have a basket installed.

A little more ground clearance would be helpful; but if you slow down and cross at cross walks it's OK!
Comments:Great unit - only needs a little louder "horn" - rate it a 10 out of 10!

Bianca from Pleasant Hill submitted this review on September 12th 2006 at 04:16 PM. Bianca is an end user who has over a year of experience with the product.
Strengths:I have used my BuzzAround for 2 years exclusively indoors. It is very comfortable and allows me to go almost anywhere in my house. A single battery charge lasts all day. Warrenty on motor parts is two years. The manufacturer (Golden Technologies) does support it's warrenty and does have good technical support people.
Weaknesses:Unreliable. The original transaxle and two replacements have all failed within two years. I am currently waiting for my fourth transaxle to arrive so my repair shop can put it in.
Comments:The BuzzAround is wonderful when it works. My advice - do your research, check reviews, and buy from a reputable local dealer who is going to support you and keep your scooter working.
