I like the look of those scooters. They look pretty mobile when not in use too. They certainly are a lot cheaper than a Segway. How is the ride? Bumpy?

Ray, did you ever get stopped by the cops when you were on one of these? I presume they are illegal on streets, are they?

I see they only have a 12 mile radius before a recharge is necessary. What kind of batteries do they run on?

Default Rad2go Scooter

The batteries are six volt lead acid type. Six separate batteries are connected in series to produce 36 VDC to the motor. Both tires on the original unit are solid rubber, so the ride is not like driving a BMW! I've only run out of power on one trip that had a number of uphill climbs so on the way back I did a pushing the RAD exercise for about a half mile. In Old Town Pasadena, I was stopped by a motorcycle cop while I was on the sidewalk. I told him that there were no posted signs other than "No skateboarding - No roller skates" so he went away knowing that I would go to court to protest any ticket for being on a sidewalk riding at 2 MPH! The picture shows the original scooter assembled out of the box. I've since added reflectors, electric horn, headlight and front wheel disc brakes. Of all scooters now on the market, I think this one is way ahead when weighing price vs. features. RAY-NER
