Hi tim
Although “car” is part of the web address of this forum I’m sure your welcome to have a scooter thread. We do talk scooters from time to time but mostly in respect of them fitting into the boots of our cars.
I have in the past had a scooter related thread going myself about upgrading lead acid batteries to Li-on ones in pavement / road scooters so feel free to talk about such matters.
I think I’ve spent, over the years I’ve been disabled, more on pavement scooter than actual AP’s, in fact I know I have and this is a good site for finding information about any scooters as you can be sure someone here has had that model.
All my scooters have been pavement / boot scooters so know little about 8 MPH ones but only from my view point are not very good value for money when it comes to leasing them through Motability, but like I said I know little about them.
