Customer Review: zumo 550

I do like my Zumo, it gives me more confidence when I am out riding. It seem like every time I pick it up I learn something new about it. There are things that could be more user friendly and the help book could be a lot better (it is only on disk) but it I had to it again and would purchase the same thing.

How To Choose A Scooter For Your Needs

Ever felt the rush of adrenalin and the exhilarating flow of the wind against your face when you ride on a scooter?

Are you the proud owner of a kick scooter or an electric or gas motorized scooter?

Scooters come in various sizes, speeds and features...and most of all in different colors to meet your specific personal preferences. Some come with a comfortable seat, while others are bare. Apart from adjustable handles, there are other features that can be customized to your needs. As there are such a wide variety of scooters, you have to pay attention to what you really need and what you don't need in a scooter. Safety, speed and functionality apart from cost are some of the considerations you need to have in mind when you are hunting for a scooter.

An electric scooter is a clever combination of fun and practical sense. Electric scooters are considered the latest form of transportation vehicle. Most electric scooters are now foldable, so you can easily store it or throw it into your trunk. Most have a 250 watt motor which is powerful, and can handle inclines where the slopes are steeper.

Pedal scooters are unique and light-weight. Pedal scooters are suitable for 7 year olds to adults. With pedal scooters, you can attain 5 to 7 mph, dependent on how well you pedal. Most have front and rear brakes plus and are easy to assemble. For beginners, make sure you equip yourself with safety procedures when you start off with a foot pedal scooter

Some motorized scooters typically come with 2 stroke air-cooled engines. They have automatic shift gearing, with hydraulic sport tuned suspension to give a smooth ride. To prevent theft, these modern scooters come with wireless remote control alarm with key pad, keyed ignition, locking steering wheel, locking storage under the seat, locking front storage and frame number engraved. This can be a dream machine for many!

For our Seniors who need mobility, motorized mobility scooters help them to move around and continue to have a mobile lifestyle. Many elderly patients like scooters since they provide a very comfortable ride because they absorb shock. Most can achieve speeds of up to four miles per hour. The single most important consideration for choosing a mobility scooter is the ability of the rider or the person who will need to lift it in and out of a car.
