Mobility scooter/cart rental

I don’t think I have ever seen one of these in Zihuatanejo or Ixtapa. I’m not sure how useful one would be anyway.

My experience walking the sidewalks of Zihuatanejo is that with the numerous obstructions, bumps, dips, holes, venderse, etc. it is challenging enough walking on them. I can’t imagine trying to maneuver a motorized vehicle.

I don’t spend much time in Ixtapa these days, but I did for many years. I remember the sidewalks there as being particularly narrow. It was difficult for people to walk past each other. Again, I think it would be challenging to the operator to negotiate the sidewalks and problematic for anyone else who was trying to use sidewalks with motorized vehicles on them.

I suggest that trying to use one on the vehicle streets would be a serious risk.

If any mobility aid is needed, I suggest a manual “walker” might be better for all.

I think for the most part you are correct.
But on the other hand I believe I have seen on many streets, particularly in Centro, where there are 'cutouts' ( I don't know the exact term) or sections of sidewalks at intersections which are designed to allow for a mobility vehicle to cross. And I believe there are images of vehicles painted on these areas. I am fuzzy on these details. Perhaps someone with better recollection may comment.
