Mine is spec'd at 22 mph. That's faster than you really want to go.

Nahh,, no racing on the range on scooters. If we started that,, then the next thing would be shooting while speeding downrange.
Actually in a few more years we might actually have to do that... we'll probably all be scooting around at Contenders....
now I need to come up with a name for mine.

"I need to come up with a name for mine."
Hmmm,, how about "Ol' Smokey!"

Rest assured that I will NOT be racing anyone on my scooter at that range. Small solid wheels and rough ground make going slow the way to travel. I have puts lots of NC dirt on Trigger over the years ... slowly.
As my knees deteriorated I started looking at scooters. Most are small , low to the ground and either three or four wheels. I immediately discounted three wheels. My mom had one years ago and had several tip overs.
That left four wheels and they all were slow, low, and much like a wheel chair you were invisible to most folks.
At a fair I found one that sat you at almost eye level, was fast, highly maneuverable (think zero turn). It had the plus that it handled "off road" very well due to tube and tire wheels.
But it was a trike. I tested it for over an hour and decided that it was pretty stable (heavy battery pack mounted as low as possible), designed to be ridden standing without the seat attached.
I just replaced it. No, not because the one failed, but because they had made significant improvements including all wheel drive and brakes, shocks on the front forks and improved seating.
Waiting for rear suspension and if/when that's available I will upgrade again.
