Now they say this one goes up to20 mph?
I knew that vid looked familiar. It was uploaded 14 months ago! I think we have seen it before.

I don't know about a 4 wheel scooter like that. At 12 miles per hour, a hard or panic stop on a down grade means a face plant. At 20 miles per hour, it means a face skid. It seems like you might find out just how long a skid mark you can make with your nose...

It is an upgrade to the typical Q platform, but the basic physics of that high a center of balance being stopped by a restriction on the wheels, means the weight is moving forward if you like it or not.
