100+ mph mobility scooter

[Christopher Jordan]

What comes around - goes around! In 1980 wheelchair speed record was 30 mph. I always wondered about if dropping a Yamaha 250 would work but I never did it. This team did almost the same thing with a Suzuki. I would love to do this around here!

I see silly .
The wheels are small.
No if you have dampers.

For use on the street a maximum speed of 16 miles hour (25km/h).

Roads have potholes here and can be a danger faster.

These are advertised @ 18 and one review claimed 22. 100 is insane here with lousy roads in Santa Cruz hiding all the dips, trenches, and hills. Last year max. unlicensed speed on those gas powered bicycles was 35, but electric bicycles was 20.

If you are too invalid to walk, use a walker or push yourself in a regular wheelchair, you are going to be too invalid to go much faster than walking speed in one of those vehicles.

Many of the 3 wheel ones are rather top heavy and either too much weight is placed over the front or the rear.

These are slow, but each beats brisk walking. The 3 wheel one (the faded Fast Gas) only does 6 mph, and the seat vibrator admittedly makes it topheavy (or maybe it is that yellow & black racing seat cover.

The one with the purple seat is slowest, still beats walking, and the silver one is governed not to go over 12 mph.

Craigslist has been great the last 4 years.

I think my Ranger will hit 100 if everything else fails

Just a few days ago I watched a video of the guy that set the record at 70 MPH. I guess that was a while ago. However, it looked stock except for the muffler coming out the back.

The engine came from whatever a pit bike is.

There should be a special category for Walmart scooter, with the minimum weight of driver being three hundred pounds.

Wow Chris, love the floors. I had quite a few wheelchairs or mobility devices in my day.

Invacare Action Cat with Aviation Tiller Owned 7mph
Quickie p300 Rental 7mph
Quickie p200 Owned(indoors) 7mph
Jazzy1170 Owned (off road) 5mph

I also had an ARD tilt in space power seat. It was on the p200 then when I finished college I moved it to the 1170. The 1170 would climb curbs, but it was a jolt.

I still own the p200 and an invacare mvp aluminum folding chair. I sold the jazzy 1170 to a guy for a project for Burning Man 2011. Since I got my license to drive I hobble or wobble around vs roll.

Thanks! I was stuck in an Everest & Jenning manual wheelchair @ 19 and improved over the years. Motorcycles were in my teen years- my balance is very bad now - so recumbent trikes, velomobiles, and a German electric 3 wheel "car" were fun; but not cheap.

It made sense 4 years ago to custom paint my Quickie 2 (fade and pinstripe) then see how to make wheelchairs fun- cruiser with the Jazzy, "hot rod" the Delta 3 wheeler, and I haven't even started modifying the scooter! These are cheap thrills I can park in my living room

My jazzy came with the white shroud, a set of dry erase markers and a captains chair that reclined. I was always repainting the shroud, decorating it, buying different seat covers for the seat.

I did have an ever rest n jennings manual chair. Got it in a yard sale and used it for taking in someones car. I also have an action by invacare for a rental. It had terrible battery life and was easy to squeal tires. I loved the gearing, power, control and fuel economy of the quickies.

the Pride company sold my Jazzy and Legend models, but discontinued them both - that was like an invitation to me; sort of like "anything goes"! Both had swivel recliners, headrests, adjustable arms. The first thing I did was head to an auto store and order a set of seat covers for each.

They are still - faster looking snails!
