I am thinking about getting one of these to make a frequent short jaunt at work, of about a half mile.

Anyone have one of these. I would have to do up a ramp and I hear that they do poorly with adults going up hills. Anyone have one?

We bought one for our daughter's birthday two years ago. She loves it.

When it is fully charged, it really has a lot of zip. But I haven't tried it on hills.

You have hills in Dallas?

it's just a ramp that goes up to a two story elevated road. Only one way to find out.

Are those electric or gas? The gas ones are pretty sweet and they are about the same price.

electric. gas one would be a PITA, because I would store it in my office.

We have had both the gas version and the electric version and I think the electric version is much better. Quieter and less maintenance. The electric one goes 15 mph. I clocked my daughter at 20 mph on a slight downgrade.

Stupid amazon.

This sucker weighs 50lb. Amazon ships it for free. Mine arrives with the paint scraped off and the box torn. So now they will ship me another. And ship back the old one.

That's 50lb shipped three times.

I asked if they would just give me a Gift Certificate or something, but no. They would rather pay the bucks for shipping.

And now I am out a scooter for even longer. BOOO!!!!!!!

Why dont you just ride your bike? You already have a bike and there would be no extra expenditure.

Plus, you could stop being such a cheapskate and take your wife out to dinner.
