Best electric scooter?

My Dad wants an electric scooter. I thought he was after one with two wheels on the end but he's looking at the wheels like a monowheel in the center.

Any idea which is a good choice?

He's retired with parkinson's disease, I predict it will be a disaster but any idea which is a good model and possibly where to buy it at a good price (I doubt Maplin will be a bargain price).

I'd also take that wager

I would one of them after seeing that video.....

But I can picture my face hitting the tarmac at 14mph very quickly if I bought one...

I've ridden it like a cowboy! With stabilizers and training belt.

Infact I don't think the stabilizers are all that. A flat surface was more beneficial because at slow speed the bumps are quite severe. I think it was hard to steer by leaning left/right (because of stabilizers) so I resorted to torso twisting to jolt it in the right direction.

I know sweet FA about mobility scooters, but as for the the best electric scooter I'd go for the Scrooser.

Tad expenise at around £3000 but you have to admit, it looks great fun. It can alos do something like 20 miles at 15mph on a 2.5hr charge.

Might as well convert a decent bike into an electric bike

Looks fun for an 8 year old though.
