Stockists of Scooters in La Marina Torrevieja and Quesada area
Out of interest I recently tried out one of the above Electric Scooters, they are certainly fairly fast and well made.
My first test run went well, second trial was a catastrophe, as I mounted it took off like a rocket couldn’t find brakes in time before I managed to come off, scooter not damaged but very nasty graze to my leg and a sprained wrist.
Perhaps I should consider that as I am now in my 80s that they are possible it bit to fast for me?
The shop assistant had told me it takes a while to get used to how they work.
