It was difficult to use the wheelchair on the cobbles and a powered chair would have been easier

For about 80% of our wanderings in Rome the scooter was a great choice. The four-wheel platform was very stable and there were minimal bumps and shakes. My wife was riding and I took to leaning on the back of the seat to hold the back drive wheels on the ground as we went from sidewalks to streets. There were one or two times when we had to leave the sidewalks and roll along the street for a couple of blocks. In all, the scooter allowed my wife mobility she would never have had and allowed us to enjoy the cities together. The scooter in Athens was a three-wheeler, but I had learned how to keep it rolling over uneven surfaces. We were able to navigate the whole Acropolis, the museum, and the other historical/tourist areas. It worked well in the Monastiraki and Plaka districts with no difficulty, even with some crowding.

People at the airport of Rome were very helpful to make the wheel chair experience a pleasant and positive experience!
