Dan Diego 40 Posted August 20, 2016 OK, looks like I'm going with the KneeRover Pro. George wouldn't do the suspension upgrade so I'm sending it off to Cogent Dynamics. Should have it back a few days before the cast comes off. Also gonna powdercoat the frame orange so the guys at the track will take me seriously. Ditched the wussy basket for a CamelBak in front. Can carry water, tools and a compressor for trail side tire changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oracle 195 Posted August 20, 2016 You said "water"....LOL Who you kidding.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Diego 40 Posted August 20, 2016 I mean, technically, I "could" find a $50 scooter like the one pictured here. But how would that do in the sand dunes? And in Baja? And at the MX track? I'd be the laughingstock of the SDAR folks (in casts). No one wants that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wierdrider 189 Posted August 20, 2016 We will have to do a photo shoot of you and your scooter!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Diego 40 Posted August 20, 2016 If it goes the way my last couple photo shoots went, I'll be horizontal. Perhaps you can photoshop me so I look 1/2 as cool as the Kug? BTW: That's my first knee scooter mod: The ubiquitous Kug decal! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulmbowers 236 Posted August 20, 2016 You'd better run scooter-rated oil in that thing. DO NOT USE automobile oils in a knee scooter. Ever. People that use auto oil in a scooter are idiots, and shouldn't be posting here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Diego 40 Posted August 20, 2016 I had a friend one time who said his knee scooter ran noticeably better when he used automobile oil. Swore by the stuff. I may try it. Now, about those tires... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hobiee 28 Posted August 20, 2016 So Dan seriously if you need anything just know that i've moved to northern Idaho and will not be able to help. I will be thinking about you as I cut in my new single track on the north 40 though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

danrider 5 Posted August 21, 2016 dont buy one because I have one you can use. I bought it when I had my foot surgery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulmbowers 236 Posted August 21, 2016 I wouldn't. Lots of problems with the earlier models. By 2015 they had most of the issues worked out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has it been dropped? How many miles on the ODO? All on road miles or did you take it to Alaska or Tierra Del Fuego? Last oil change? Will it make me look "cool like Steve McQueen?" Lots of questions, I know, but if I'm borrowing a knee scooter and not paying anything at all, I want to make sure I'm getting the very best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You pick up a cactus thorn in the middle of Baja and you're screwed. My buddy got screwed in Baja a few times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
