Hi guys
Hoping someone can give me some names of scooters roughly the same size as mine but bit better batteries if poss with not too much loss on ground clearance?
I currently have a Rascal 850, it has an adapted bracket on the back for a dog bike trailer for my elderly dog who can't walk far.
Mine has quite a good ground clearance compared to most (just under 6") and has 2 50ah batteries. It does well pulling the trailer.. I can't remember weight of the trailer but my dog travelling inside is around 20kg.
The width is about right I can just about fit through some narrow gaps to get round some gates/fences onto cycle paths and paths over the fields so it doesn't want to be too much wider. It can be a couple of inches longer but too long as it won't fit in parking space in my hall.
I do really like this model and was wondering if I could maybe upgrade the batteries a little? would 60ah batteries fit? I noticed scooters with 75ah batteries are quite a bit longer (7 ") and a good few inches wider which may mean certain routes are then off limit to us and I'm already restricted for walking routes. I like to do about 5 mile as have young Border Collie as well now who runs alongside the entire route and my oldie just gets out at the farm tracks/fields etc... walks as far as she can manage then gets back in for a ride home).
I was looking at Horizons Mobility Saxon but I emailed them over 2 weeks ago now asking if a dog bike trailer could be attached and no-one has answered so not impressed with their customer services for a scooter that would be in £5,000 region!
so.. any ideas of models that a bike trailer could be attached to or could I safely add 60ah batteries to mine?
Thanks
Kati
