How do you lock the scooter in place once it's on the ramp? How much of a hassle is it locking the scooter down and taking it off again?

It is up to you to secure the scooter. One small strap will do and there are multiple attach places. I would use two for safety. A four pack of ratcheting straps can be bought for under $20 at any department store or auto parts store.

You attach the wheels, so they can be removed / not attached. I would recommend it, the legs did not have a nice finish on the bottom. The wheels can be locked in place too, there is a turn-key on each wheel so you can lock the individually. Don't really need to, it is very heavy and does not roll by itswlf

I had to buy the scooter straps separately. Its no hassel at all getting the scooter on and off the ramp. But it can be a headache in the rain or after it rains. Surface of the ramp becomes slippery.

I don't. It fits right into the base of the door so I can close my door while leaving it in place. After several openings and closings, you may have to adjust it as it will move away from the threshold a little every time you open the door. I have no problems with leaving it in place. Just a little warning, there are raised edges on either side to keep the walker, scooter or wheelchair from falling off the side, it may trip someone walking up or down the ramp if they try to cut the corner.

I believe it locks when you set it up. If not, then somewhere on the poles that connect the wheels. I gave it as a Christmas present and I don't recall how to lock it but I do know that it shouldn't fall when the child pushes it. My niece even sat on it and it never collapsed.Hope this helps!

Hi. Yes, I was able to squeeze the brake and push down on the button located on the brake to lock it. To release the brake, you just squeeze the brake again. Hope this helps.

Bring the foot rest all of the way up manually, it will click, then push it down all the way and ratchet it back up in increments. This is just like your lawn chair lounges, same concept. It doesn't lock, it goes up all the way, then down to the bottom and ratchets up to straight again, until it reaches the top then it automatically goes down for the slow return up. Hope that helped.

I just jiggle it a little and it comes off! I just love the motor! It saves my husband's arm and shoulder! Hope this helps you!

It works really well when you are on the scooter and you need to stop. It doesn't lock it tight when the scooter is stopped, but it does slow it down when you need to sit on it.

Hello - thank you for your inquiry. There is a complete rear wheel lock on the rear wheel. There is also a fully integrated Alarm System within the scooter. Whenever someone tries to attempt to steal the scooter, the automated alarm will sound. This scooter is completely secure.

Maybe I'm missing something about no brake lock, but there is a button that will lock the brake. I just received this knee scooter yesterday. There is a small silver button on the brake lever. With the brake applied I pushed the silver button and the brake remained engaged until I squeezed the brake lever a second time. Granted it is not like a walker or stroller brake, but it did keep it from rolling.

The seatpost removes and installs easy. The handle bar folds down fairly easy. The scooter weighs 90 pounds. Getting it from the floor, to the car and back to floor could be a problem.

There are 2 ways to lock and unlock the wheels. You can manually push the brakes down by hand or foot and use the hand brakes. FYI if the hand brakes are engaged after you unlock the the lower part of the brakes it won't fully disengage. Both have to be unlocked to keep the wheel rolling free. The foot pedals can adjust by pushing in the buttons.

The wheels have a small latch. Pull it, the wheels roll; push it down, the wheels are locked. I don't understand how they would 'fall off', without raising the cart up into the air.

The wheels just lock into place if I remember correctly. It was really super easy.

Ramp is always down. And if you try to move the hutch with the ramp screwed on, it will break off. Unscrew the ramp before moving the hutch.
