I need to replace my old three wheeled scooter, and I'm looking for advice as to the best brand and model to get.

I intend to use it for both indoor and outdoor use. The outdoor use would be to go shopping and taking it on bike trails and on buses. It would have to be able to handle some grass and some slightly rough terrain (I have a great monster four wheeled scooter - a Bruno - that I use for more rough outdoor terrain).

My scooter needs are:

--reliability

--fairly long range on one battery charge

--maneuverable enough to go on buses and other public transportation

--able to handle some grass and some slightly rough terrain

--suitable for indoor and outdoor use

--isn't hampered by cold weather or rain

--lights so I can drive it at night.

I have done some research and the choices seem overwhelming. I would appreciate any advice or recommendations about what scooter to buy, and also where, on-line, to buy it. (Or on what scooter NOT to buy.)

I would also welcome advice on any sites/links/forums where I could gather more information on what scooter would work best for me.

I love my big Bruno and it has been very reliable, but they don't seem to have a good three wheeled model. My current three wheeled model, a second hand Buzz, has been a continual problem.

So far, the MeritS131 Pinoeer3 and the Shoprider Sunrunner look good. Does anyone know anything about these scooters?
