Scooter gang of Vuosaari

From Elford in Helsinki, Finland:

Chris has a new Travelscoot now which we received from Munich. We have a lot of fun patrolling the neighborhood together. Occasionally we scoot down to the beach and have coffee at a small restaurant there. When we were going up hill, Chris would pass me up. I couldn`t figure why. I thought it was our weight difference. Then I decided to trade batteries without her knowing it. When we went for a ride next she complained that her scooter was a little slower than mine. I told her what I had done. My batteries are over two years old now and hers are brand new. Anyway, when we go out now we both use her new batteries or we both use the old batteries. Then we we go at the same speed.  

Welcome Chris!  It's good to see you and Elford enjoying your TravelScoots together.  My two regular size lithium ion batteries are around the same age as yours and even at my much higher weight I'm still getting great service from them.

Helsinki: The View from a TravelScoot

Hello Elizabeth

Today was a beautiful day, so I took my scoot downtown via the Metro. All the photos above I took sitting on the TravelScoot. Today was the first time I ever ran the battery down. I plugged in my spare and kept going. I have two small Li ion batteries. I have to say that the Travelscoot is a great way to get around!

Best wishes,

Elford

Went scooting downtown. The days are getting short now so there isn`t much daylight to work with. Helsinki is the same latitude as Anchorage Alaska.
