TGA Supersport/Afiscooter SE Review
PROS: easy to find one cheap secondhand, manoeuvrable, no less capable than Breeze S4, 3 year product warranty
CONS: less capable, fewer options, and much less comfortable than a Tramper TWS, no suspension, less stable than a four-wheeler
The TGA Supersport/Afiscooter SE was the first mobility scooter that I bought, buying it used in great condition for about £1500/$1800. I've since bought one for about £500/$600 that was tatty and needed new batteries, but ran perfectly well. It's a very capable machine, though like the, TGA Breeze S4/Afiscooter S4, it couldn't make it up the steepest of climbs that I do without cutting out to avoid burning out the motor (my TWS have never failed on any hill). However the TGA Supersport/Afiscooter SE has no suspension whatsoever (the 'spring' on the front is decorative), and that's what did it for me, I went over to Mini Crosser, which broke down three times in as many months, before having a Tramper TWS built for me.
Being good in mud and hard sand and being readily available secondhand for not much money the TGA Supersport/Afiscooter SE is worth considering, and many disabled ramblers without spinal problems happily use them, but for only average torque, poor range, no options, very poor comfort, only average reliability, the TGA Supersport comes 4th in the line-up of off-road capable mobility scooters worth considering.
