My Story

It started with family.

Someone close to me needed a mobility scooter. I figured it would be a simple thing. Look up a few models, compare some features, and help them pick the best one. But the deeper I looked, the more confused I got. There were too many options, too many specs, and not enough plain English answers. Every site I visited felt like it was trying to sell me something, not helping me understand anything.

So, I did what I usually do when something doesn’t sit right. I dug in. I read. I researched. I asked questions. I stayed up late scrolling through manuals and brochures and forums filled with real people sharing their stories. I started to see the patterns, the pitfalls, and the real differences between what looked good on paper and what actually worked for people.

That’s when the idea for this blog took root.

I figured if I was having a hard time finding clear answers, other folks probably were too. So, I built this place. A quiet little corner of the internet where you can find real, practical help. No sales pitch. No hype. Just honest information from someone who’s been in the weeds and doesn’t mind sharing the map.

My Background

I’ve always been drawn to things that hum and buzz and move. As a kid, I took apart radios just to see if I could put them back together. Sometimes I did. Sometimes they ended up in pieces on the garage floor. But the curiosity stuck.

That led me to study mechanical and electrical engineering. I worked in renewable energy, played around with robotics, and built more than a few strange-looking contraptions in my garage. I’ve spent years around machines that run on circuits and spark and sweat.

But even with all that, what I really love is figuring out how something can make life better for someone else. That’s what drew me to mobility scooters. They may not be flashy or futuristic, but they matter. They give people freedom. They make a difference. And for me, that’s worth paying attention to.

My Mission

This blog exists for one reason. To help.

Maybe you’re looking for your first scooter. Maybe you’re trying to help a parent or a friend. Maybe you’ve already been burned by a bad buy and don’t want it to happen again.

Wherever you’re starting from, I want this to be a place where things make sense. Where you can learn without feeling talked down to. Where the specs are explained, the reviews are fair, and the advice comes from a real place, not a showroom floor.

I don’t have all the answers. But I’ve got enough experience to ask the right questions. And I’ll always do my best to share what I’ve learned in a way that’s easy to understand and helpful to you.

My Values

I believe in telling the truth. Not the dressed-up, polished kind of truth that’s been edited for a brochure, but the real kind. The kind you’d give your neighbor if they came asking for advice.

That’s how I write every review, every guide, and every comparison you’ll find here. I’m not trying to dazzle you with tech talk or bury you in jargon. I just want you to walk away feeling like you’ve learned something that actually matters.

Now, just so you know, some of the links on this blog do help keep the lights on. But I don’t take money to say nice things. If I like a product, it’s because I’ve looked at it closely and believe it can help someone. If I don’t, I’ll say that too.

Because at the end of the day, you deserve straight answers. That’s what I try to give you, every single time.

Alex "AJ" Pierce

I’ve always had a thing for machines.

When I was a kid, you could usually find me out in my dad’s garage, elbow-deep in something that didn’t work. Old radios, lawn mowers, busted fans… it didn’t matter. If it had wires, gears, or made a noise, I wanted to know how it ticked. Folks around our small town started calling on me whenever something needed fixing. I didn’t mind. In fact, I loved it.

That early fascination stuck with me. It carried me through school, into engineering, and eventually into a career where I got to work on some pretty remarkable things. Renewable energy, robotics, machines that pushed boundaries. It was challenging, fulfilling work. But even with all that fancy tech, I never lost that boyhood love for rolling up my sleeves and figuring things out.

A few years ago, I hung up my boots and stepped into retirement. And wouldn’t you know it, I found myself right back where I started—out in the garage, tinkering, rebuilding, learning just for the fun of it.

That’s why I started this blog. To share what I’ve learned, in the hope that it might help someone else. Maybe even you.

So, whether you’re here looking for answers, clarity, or just a little direction, I hope you find something useful. And if nothing else, I hope you know you’ve got a friendly voice in your corner.

All the best,

– AJ
