    Scooter thrust tested - 2009 Benchmark

    We are pleased to publish the first of the 2009 Tahoe Benchmark research papers - this one outlines the testing protocol for Scooter Thrust, and includes a limited data set of DPV thrust results.

    As with other results from testing scooters, we expect the results to be... controversial.

    No big controversy-The most powerful model is the hi-tech Dive X-Tras Cuda at $5000 with $1400.00 850Wh NiMh spare Battery=$6400.00 and the least powerful model is the $2500.00 Mako with 350.00 spare battery=$2850.00 though it is interesting to see the actual statistics. Future tests will probably yield same results. Race a Ferrari against a Toyota and the Ferrari will win every time-doesn't really matter which track it's raced on.

    BTW-just grabbed those prices quickly off the net-not necessarily lowest prices out there

    Hello markyjack.

    We're working on getting the results pushed out - the paper is about 50% authored. We'd anticipated 07 Oct for a release date, and will be two weeks late on that.
