Electric Scooter Update

Happy Memorial Day, everyone.  Be sure to thank a veteran for their service.

In the tradition of Scotty on the Enterprise, today I took my scooter out for a spin and was “giving her all she’s got.” I still was gentle on the starts and accelerations, but did not hold back on the flats. The result was that a 20 mile trip (averaging 40-50mph) drained the battery down to about half charge. This is a definite improvement over last year’s performance.
