Daymak Boomerbuggy Covered Personal Mobility Scooter Video Review

- Опубліковано 24 січ 2016
- I visited Daymak in Toronto Canada and got to meet with the founder, Aldo Baiocchi, to check out the Boomerbuggy. This personal mobility scooter is designed to be stable, easy to drive and narrow enough to fit through a single door. It’s priced at $3k starting but you can pay more for the Covered “enclosed” version and add a stereo and other accessories to make it your own.
The scooters use a 1,200 watt canister style motor and offer a 24 volt 110 amp hour sealed Lead acid battery. You can get a Lithium-ion battery but it costs more. The scooters go 8 to 10 miles per hour and 20+ miles (40 kilometers) per charge. You can also turn down the speed for indoor use at ~1 km per hour. The seat is adjustable and I loved the canopy style umbrella. There’s a cup holder for bringing along a drink and there’s no license or insurance required.
The Enclosed version comes in black, red, blue or white and has a fiberglass shell with larger more rugged tires. It has windshield wipers and suspension, the doors lock and windows roll up and down… it’s pretty cool :D but if you get cold, there’s actually a heater built in as well as a seatbelt and headrest for safety. Aldo and I had some fun racing the units around, the one I was in costs $6k because it’s Enclosed and had some upgrades. You can even get a backup camera so you don’t accidentally run over your pet.
The scooter gets delivered with a specialty truck and costs ~$500 for easy to reach locations. Daymak will ship this product anywhere in North America including Canada and America. - Авто та транспорт
I saw this on the streets a couple years ago and it blew my mind. It is way skinnier than you expect. If you are old and the government took you license away due to health problems this isn't a bad choice.
Or just drive anyway 🤷🏽♂️
@@ball2772 Aye I hear you on that one!
@@ball2772 yeah! My old neighbor did that and caused a crash which put a kid in a wheelchair and his dad in a care home! Great idea!
But then who could actually afford one of these that’s the question not the average person?
I would shamelessly ride straight into walmart with that sucker, watch out 'Merica comin' through! I want one.
Judge Jury LOL ME TOO! I was just thinking "I would straight up ride into Walmart and say Yep, you know you want one". LOL 😂
I have a mobility scooter and my dog hops right on with me and we cruise the trail system in our city. She loves it!!
Hope they come up with the new version of the Boomerbuggy XS sooner than 6 months.
It’s pouring rain now & if I had one I would not have to be trapped in my apartment unable to go anywhere on foot.
Those wheelie bars will come in handy for when I add the second battery pack!
I ordered an EM1 just a few days ago. Frank, the Sales Manager I spoke with was nothing, if not professional. Even going so far as to ask how tall I am to make certain the bike would be a good fit. I have received emails detailing every aspect of shipping (transport company/ETA/tracking etc...). My interaction, thus far, has been superb.
David Tresch make a vidro
i want the enclosed version so bad
This is freaking AWESOME!!!!!!! We just picked up a used 3-wheel mobility scooter today.

+Billy John maybe you don't but that doesn't mean you need to say that.

Edwin Tay Yes?
Nice unit, great for a senior as no license required. At 49" wide, it needs double doors to get through. Love the ride and suspension. The competitor Shoprider flagship is similar, and being 39" wide makes it possible to go through many mall / hospital / coffee shop doors. I liked the feel of your unit better, except for this key limitation. Darn, my Dad really wanted to buy this to replace his 10 year old scooter.
I don’t know why there aren’t dozens of models of this size of vehicle. This could be the main method of transportation for about 90% of commuters. It would go a long way in helping with pollution, gridlock, parking.
May I ask why you are wearing a bike helmet?
He wears a helmet because he is scared of his own shadow like all the bicycle riders who wear helmets.
6000 for this ? You can get a container full of them from China for that ...
Ebay Buyer Defender ......you can buy china for that.
$6000 for a container load? Why do some people talk without thinking? If YOU can get a container load for $6000, I will take as many as you can get.
For$ 1000 I can buy a car
@@frankjetson5321 correction, Asia
Do you order from China
Water still splashes up on to the batteries underneath on the enclosed scooter, same as the normal no-roof one, Cheers, from Australia 👍
What's missing in this vehicle is the backing of a bigger and more established company. A bigger company would have a global presence and garages all over the country for support. (Walmart Garage Services, Pep Boys, NAPA, Jiffylube, AutoZone, Midas,)
love the umbrella for the summer heat
$6,000!?!? I fell out of my chair. I bought a used 2012 Nissan Leaf for $7200! I can go 80 miles per charge, has heated seats, heated steering wheel, air conditioning /heat, can take on highway, crusie control, blue tooth, airbags, seats 5, power everything... I guess the only downside is I can't drive it inside a grocery store.
this isn't supposed to be a car replacement though. different category of vehicle entirely. i do see your point though; it's a lot of money for something less than a car. but if you think of it as more than a scooter, then it seems worth it.
you need a license and insurance for a car, not for this
I bought a used Subaru Baja for $2000 and put $1000 in it and I can drive it another 100,000 miles. Point being used vehicles are a WAY better deal. Leaf or not.
And how is the disabled person supposed to get this thing to the grocery store or Walmart at under four miles per hour? You'd get run over by a BMX bicycle.
epicdeuce you can drive it in a store but they might not like it
note: i would suggest to owners of mobility aids you might want to consider a low profile beacon so you can be seen at night by other road users
note: this is mainly so 4wd's and trucks can see you at night
and if riding on public foot path's of a night time consider having lights below your line of sight as the driving lights are very poor and tend to be poor of illumination of pedestrians or other foot path users..
on average you have between 8-15 km/h pending on the model type of the mobility aid you are using...
I have have been on a mobility over 10-15 years to know that sometimes you have no choice in where you ride when you think of driving comfort.
on average the inclosed models can only take a 50-70kg person try too apply that to a high capacity you wouldn't do..
in my case i start with units with a 225 kg load capacity meaning average spend is about $5,000-8,500..
and don''t go stating you do conversions from gelcell to lithium as that usually requires upgradesin electronics..
average km is about 40-60km in distance , feathering the throttle you may extend out to 80km.. under the the largest gel cells you can physically install in the mobility aid you have ..
I can't comment on going to a lithium based system on the physics of range you can get..
They look great, good to know it has a heater,but no space for carrying bags and things.!
Does anyone know if you have to be disabled to use one of these? Isnt it the same as being a pedestrian?
Great video 👍👍
I saw two vehicles something like that running around in the US in Seattle, Washington state.
I have a 4 wheel buggy and is great and has more speed BUT a minor drawback is flat tires occur about twice a month which is a real bummer and does rattle a lot
I would like one of those black ones and I'm not disabled. I just want a cheap mode of transport.
R MCK Daymak also sells a motor assisted bike that looks like a motorcycle only $2k
No license or insurance required
I saw one of the tiny cars yesterday in Ramsgate, Kent, South-east England.
So it can not be equipped with a tiny trailer?
I love it.
Can anything be done to it to make it go a lot faster, please?
Hows the crash test against head on collision?
Nice ride. Only thing is that snow will stop you unless it is only a dusting,so you would have to wait for the city to plow before you can go out.
and for safety, we painted it black! but hey, it's got mirrors right?
My question is what is the designed life of the batteries? and how many charging cycles ?
That wind screen wiper seems completely useless. Half of it doesn't even touch the window :/
Christian Blønd how old are you?
Windshield wipers are not for cleaning the windshield they are for wiping rain, mud, or blood from the drivers field of vision.
Lol I saw that too
Meme Machine yea and how old are you ? Every adult understands the basics of windshields, it needs to touch it to remove it.
review the magneto electric skateboard pleas
I just bought it has exactly same dash...but no umbrella. I think it same brand engine, It really fast I have done 17kmh. Very beast. Wheels is big 14"
OMG SO COOL!!
I have a three wheel mobility scooter , but mine dosen't have an the latest speed adjuster , it has a lot of power , and been trying to get a schematic for this area , to no avail , and i won't spend $50.00 each way for transportation so i will try to do it myself in the east end store too bad
I would love to buy this
Nice !!
that price is insane i bought a renault twiggy for £3000 and it does 40 miles a charge 60mph and can take two people
Very nice
I would love to try one of these out,im52, and suffered a stroke so now I’m in a wheelchair, I used to be a trucker before my stroke, I would like to see power windows though, what about stability?
Hello Aldo. Not sure if it's the camera angle. But the hard covered unit looks huge!. Is it and how tall and wide is it as I've tried to get onto daymak website but for some reason it doesn't load. I live in Toronto and am very very interested!😊
Do they sell in Australia???
Could someone please answer that question for me I need to know for my friend
I want an enclosed one that takes at least 2 people and is VERY affordable
How do you keep it from getting stolen? We live in a Senior apartment complex with outdoor parking. There is no accommodation for enclosed parking to protect the vehicle and the apartment is too small to keep it in.
It locks and is enclosed so its like a small car or put a alarm on it lol
park it indoors? it's able to go down a standard hallway, and it has locks.
How about a storage box on the rear for groceries etc?
You can if ya wanna hear. Over the loudspeaker 'clean up in aisle 1,2,34,5😊
NEED CONVERTABLE TOP FOR ACCESS.
NEED
SUSPENSION ON CHASSIS
NEED
SUSPENSION IN SEAT.
Hello this is a wonderful what is range

Also is this the same size as the boomerbuggy 6? Please reply as it's the exact model I'm interested in 😊
what do you think about the Hover X Pod ?
@ERR & Daymak: What is the high wind limit of the Boomerbuggy in mph? Thanks.
🤣🤣🤣
@@creasefold1986 I know, you can just picture someone just blowing on it, can't you?
@@celestepalm6949 LOL. These things look fun af
@@creasefold1986 Don't have to be a boomer to wanna drive one. Would love a wind-&-highway-worthy version of these things. Just strap a jetpak to the back.
@@celestepalm6949 hell yeah
I wonder if daymak could make a drone version of this?
😅🤣😂
DO YOU EVER RIDE ANY OF THE VEHICLEs?
can we get these in America
Where can I purchase the covered efition? I live in Honolulu.
I have a question are these motorized handicap scooters with the roof and doors are they legal in Canada I have a friend that has one but I get a sneaky suspicion that she drove it too fast and the police charged her and she is disabled do you have to have a license for them what are the rules of having them on a public street someone needs to fix that my friend can’t get out without anything now and she said the police told her it was illegal is that true if they are why are they selling them for people with disabilities is it because she drove too fast with it
They are legal in Ontario and from what I've read. Same goes for Quebec. Albeit speeds are 4mph on sidewalks 15km/h road with speed limit of 50kmh max and only legal if there's no sidewalk and must stay close to shoulder and not legal on hiway
Closed mobility scooter price shipping included to USA California state delivery?
where's the brakes?
me hubiese gustado verlo rodando de verdad.... eso no se ve en el video.
pero me gusta mucho
Does ADP underwrite these? And I'd like to see it perform in snow. What is the width - can it be driven through doors?
Yes, Aldo said it can go through standard width doorways easily. Actually, excuse me, he may have been saying that about the non-enclosed scooter.
And the snow? What's the ground clearance? (I'll ask about hills up & down in my next comment...)
not good on snow
So it's OK on a sunny day in the summer...oh, joy. And the point of these in a Canadian climate is...?
Don't worry. Canada has brandy and st Bernard dogs. You'll be found come spring😊
Doge willing, I will need a mobility scooter circa 2080. There better be some sick ass options by then, get to work.
We will do our best to have a hover craft version ready for you by then :P Just give us a call by 2075 to make sure it's ready in time
are you kidding hell it took them over a hundred freaking years to finally update the wheelchair lol i wouldnt count on them progressing past this for at least another hundred years !!
особенно понравилось что дверь открывается вперёд, как на старом запорожце, открыл и сразу ногу поставил на улицу!соол короче 👍😀
Where can I buy the black color little one in Canada?
+k k Where are you? You can call us 1.800.649.9320 or visit our website at www.daymak.com
nice
I should ride one of these to school
I would like to buy one of these if they are street legal. How can I do that?
I would love to have one but you can't take it inside a super market I have a spitfire electric scooter I drive it inside the store
When this come to India
The price two high
Excelente producto, cual es el precio de ambos?
Roberto Del Vecchio
Hola que me quieres responder?
OK, if they would go down on the price a little like maybe 1000 and 900 or 1400. I could probably save up for one of these but being that they’re all around the $5000 bracket or $9000 bracket who could buy one and trying to get one financed is hard.
When my bills are all paid off I will buy one.
Two Doors for one person?
So you can get out on any side ...
How much it cost $$ for the black one?
The video description says, "the one I was in costs $6k" so $6000 Canadian dollars.
It looks funny, but it helps the elderly. ***** Stars for this review. Tomorrow I say... Happy Birthday Sef.^^
Please stop assuming that only "elderly" people are disabled.
He never mentioned disabled people at all; he said it helps elderly people, which it does.
That doesn't mean it doesn't help people who aren't elderly, or that only elderly people are disabled, it simply means that it helps elderly people. Stop looking for a reason to be offended.
that wiper doesn't sit flat on the glass! :O
Lol I saw that too hahaha
😍❤
für was den Helm?
Really like the idea of this buggy. However, now that I watch the review, I see two things that are a problem. First, the luggage space is pretty nonexistent. A couple of bags maybe, and then something on the floor.
Second, no rear access. This means the stuff you pile behind the seat you have to reach over to get out. If I’m a senior with mobility issues, theoretically the primary customer base, how am I going to crane in and reach around to get my groceries or whatever out?
Also, thinking of my mother, who uses a walker, how is she going to get around once she goes somewhere?
If this was just a bit bigger, with rear access, she could fold her walker into the back, go to the store, get the walker out, shop, and get back home. I’d buy that.
But not this one. Might be fun to ride around, but she’d never be able to get out.
Too bad…
How much is it
A convertible with a soft top would be cool
lmao
uk version?
scooterpac lol
do you need a driver license to ride it
Andrey goloshchapov No, it's basically a covered "mart cart" so anyone can drive them. I'm not sure if you have to be disabled or not. I doubt it though.
Is this scooter legal in the united states
My Buddy has MS, a simple front end electric drive attachment for his wheelchair retailed at £3,900!!, then they charge him £46 for a crud tyre, £16 for a replacement plastic yoke nut etc... its a joke how manufacturers of mobility scoots and the like seem to justify these prices to a market most in need of affordable ways of moving from A to B. Don't get me started on sidewalk conditions or accessibility to facilities.. manufacturers service record also shocking.
Totally agree, but then again these manufacturers aren't disabled and figure the disabled can only afford to buy one so jam em on the price 😞.ppl $ retailers should know these scooters are primarily for disabled ppl and if retailers see non disabled buying they jack the price for sales profit.. more sold = more $ in their pockets
This Is a nuts price you could get a small car like a used ford or a actually good mobility scooter that is legal and worth the price because this isn’t all that everything sticks out you can get better models of this
They won't let you drive the enclosed in a store.
If you take the seat and the handle bar off it looks cool ..blue scooter
I want one I got Cadiz and as I live in United Kingdom it get very cold over her if any know can you send me inbox thank
I live in Collingwood Ontario my friend lives in Arelia people don’t bother anyone in Collingwood about them but yet in a real yet they do
