Vehicle | 2004 Rad2go E36 Great White This is a Great White scooter that we got a deal on through eBay. It needed some work not long after we got it - new drive sprocket, tighten the chain, replace the front and back wheels, remove the front fender (due to a little mishap with my father-in-law and the curb...) but its been a great ride for my kids. Tons of acceleration and takes steep hills without even slowing down, even with my big carcass on it... |

Lots of fun, got me hooked on electric vehicles and keeps my son busy until the eRex is up and running. My only worry is the police pulling him over and then showing up on my doorstep with a ticket - e-scooters aren't allowed in Wisconsin. However, he always wears a helmet and rides safe, he's actually passed a few police cars in our neighborhood and they haven't bothered him yet - he's a responsible rider. |
