Torpedo DPV

[LKunze]

Tow straps are easy to add, all you need is some good line and a bolt snap to hook to the scooter ring on your webbing harness.  That's how the Torpedo that I tried was rigged.  Your only options for real long burn times are going to be with a full size Gavin, full size SS, a long body X-Scooter with 2 NiMH packs, or an X-Scooter with the uber-expensive Lithium Ion battery back.  The X-Scooter does not use a Mako Motor, it uses a brushless motor and has on the fly 5-speed trigger shifting.  After speaking with John today at the show he said he's getting about 40 minute burn time with the standard single NiMH X-Scooter.  The full size scooters will go all the way around Wazee on one battery but they weigh a LOT.  You are talking under 40 pounds for the X-Scooter vs. over 70 pounds for a full size scooter...OUCH! :o I wouldn't want to be hiking one of those down to the Madeira.
