    Thanks for your response. Yes it’s a foldable Pride Go Go Super Portable mobility scooter. I was fortunate to get seats on the train because my family rushed in before me to assist. We also rode on the Shinkansen green car which worked well comfortably. If you have a scooter/wheelchairs, it’s a good idea to reserve a seat fronting the bulky luggage area to utilize that cargo area (additional cost). I didn’t see anyone in a wheelchair or mobility scooter while traveling in Japan. The streets were filled with mobile people! It was as if those with mobility issues stay away from tourist areas. In fact, I seemed to be the only one who rented the ‘turtle-speed’ mobility scooter in Tokyo Disneyland. The max speed was 3km/hr.
