British Plumber Modifies Mobility Scooter for Speed

Posted on January 26 by Pacific Scooters

Some people have the need: the need for speed. Here we look at four drivers who have driven five very different modes of transport in attempts to enter the record books

Colin Furze, a British plumber, spent three months converting his machine to go nine times faster than the average mobility scooter, which is 13kph. The petrol-powered scooter has a 125cc motorbike engine, five gears and twin exhausts. He is now looking to formally enter the speedy scooter into the record books: “I was told by Guinness that I could modify the engine but I wasn’t allowed to change the appearance in any way, so I couldn’t give it bigger wheels or make it more stable.” Guinness told Furze he has to exceed 100kph.

How to Buy an Electric Scooter

Posted on December 9 by Pacific Scooters

A while back I was standing at the gas pump complaining to myself about the high gas prices. I decided right then that there had to be a better way; something that provided for convenient transportation, but at a lower cost. That’s when I decided to investigate the various options in way of an electric scooter.

There were several questions that immediately came into my mind about this plan. Where can I buy a dependable, good quality scooter? Which brand names are the best? Are there any local places to purchase parts or get repairs if necessary? What safety concerns and laws should I take into account before I purchase an electric scooter? How fast will it go? What kind of mileage can I expect? How much do good quality transportation scooters cost?

I decided to take my search online first to learn as much as possible about electric and mobility scooters before spending any of my money and possibly making a bad decision. My goal was simple and obvious; get the best electric scooter available for the lowest possible price.

Here are a few tips I learned to avoid poorly manufactured electric and mobility scooters: Continue reading →
