A small, portable scooter that pulls apart to fit in a car boot with no tools needed. The heaviest piece is 10.5kg. Front and rear suspension make it more comfortable than most scooters this size. Good for the local shops and other short trips.
The Boston is a small, portable scooter built to travel with you. It pulls apart into pieces without any tools. The tiller folds down, the seat lifts off, and the heaviest single piece weighs 10.5kg, so it can be loaded into a car boot and taken along on a day out.
Most scooters this size ride firmly. The Boston has suspension on both the front and the rear, which takes the jolt out of footpath joins and small bumps.
The seat is height adjustable so you can find a comfortable driving position, and it swivels a full turn to make getting on and off easier. There is a removable basket for your shopping, and a horn to let people know you are there in a busy area.
The tyres are solid rather than air-filled, so you will never get a flat tyre and there is nothing to pump up. Anti-tippers are fitted at the back to help keep you steady on corners and uneven ground.
Two 12V batteries give you 10 to 15km on a full charge at up to 8km/h. That suits trips to the local shops, the club or a market rather than long journeys. It carries riders up to 136kg.
