The former Royal Ordnance Corps soldier, who asked not to be named, said: "I daren't take it anywhere because I might not be able to get back again.
"I'm stuck in the house until the scooter can be checked over. I can't walk to the shops."
The victim had to enlist the help of a traffic warden and passersby to get the scooter back on its wheels.
