Being low voltage, it uses only 20 - 60 Watt of power instead of 130 - 250 Watt of power used by high voltage electric blankets.

The term "scooter" as commonly used in the newsgroup (NG) refers more properly to a "motorscooter", which are a subclass of motorcycles utilizing a distinctive structural design. These are generally two-wheeled vehicles originally based on motorized versions of children's push scooters, although some three-wheeled scooters are considered to exist. Motorscooters (or simply "scooters") have been around almost as long as motorcycles and the distinction between the two has often been blurred. See similar questions...

Finch describes both Scooter and Gonzo as "creatures of indeterminate provenance. See similar questions...

A small motorscooter or vehicle with a centrifugal clutch and variable speed belt drive is used as a stationary winch usually with the rear wheel replaced by a small winch drum. A hangglider is somewhat more difficult to fly under tow, and the pilot must also be aware of the various things that can go wrong in order to react appropriately. The USHGA has tow administrators who can rate people for tow. Most of those are also instructors and can train people to tow safely. See similar questions...

gt;>> A. All scooters can be made to go faster. First, it's critical to know if your scooter has a 2- stroke or 4-stroke engine. By their very nature, 2-stroke engines are much easier to modify for greater power and speed than are 4-stroke engines, though the basic concepts to increasing speed on any scooter are the same. Essentially, you need to improve fuel, air and exhaust flow. See similar questions...

Battery sizes vary from 12 amp to 100 amp so the difference in the maximum range is considerable. The smallest scooters will have a range of up to about 15 kilometres whilst the largest scooters can travel as far as 40 kilometres on one charge. However, as a general guide, most mid sized scooters will have a range of approximately 25-30 kilometres. These distances are based on travelling on flat ground with a standard load.

Modern scooters require very little in terms of servicing. The motors are sealed and require no lubrication so apart from making sure that the batteries are regularly charged and the tyres maintain good air pressure (approximately 35 psi) there's nothing more to do. Usually such services will include standard checks and cleaning of connections, battery leads, motor brushes and charging units as well as checking tyre pressure. We undertake all service work ourselves, using trained technicians. See similar questions...
