This model in the same color. Mine was a great deal on craigslist-$400 delivered needing a fresh set of batteries. Batteries were $150 (set of 4) on Amazon and I'm guessing around $100 to get them installed-looking for a tech now. So about $650-700 out the door. I checked out the performance with the wrecked batteries and got 22KPH (13.67mph) with a range of about 2 1/2-3 miles.

These units are classed as "pre-mobility" meaning you need to be sharp enough to drive a normal vehicle and there are several two person models in the same price range. I have an extremely limited ability to walk any distance and I bought this because I wanted enough mobility to learn digital photography and need to get to the places I want to shoot. I believe it will also be a summertime grocery-getter and in town cruiser.

Here are two more from the line up:
