It gives you the freedom of going long distance without getting so tired that by the time you get where you want to go you are too tired to do what you wanted to do. (Hope that makes sense. It's 7:15 in the morning, so it's way too early for my messages to make sense. ) The ones I see most often is the Fortress 2000 scooters. Bill Freads has one, so he can tell you more about it. They have better shock absorbers, easier on the backside when you go over bumps. They have pneumatic tires so you can get up on the curbs easier. The only problem with them is if you want to take it apart to get it in your car. It can be done, but each individual pieces are heavy to lift in the car. Also it's like a puzzle and not the easiest to put together. I think you can go upto 20 km before recharging. Is that right, Bill? Anyway, Bill can tell you more about it.
