Shoprider Flagship 4-wheel cabin scooter

Posted by Peter Tuck on Aug 2nd 2017

Lots of protection from the elements if you live anywhere where it rains a lot or is windy and you feel the cold. There's no bumper on it (but one is available to be added). I mention this because if you happen to strike anything with the front, the plastic is NOT automotive grade and just 'shatters'. (Remember to pick up all the broken plastic pieces off the ground for gluing back together because replacement parts can be hard to come by). Windshield glass is thick, tempered and A-1. Wiper works superbly (but the blade doesn't sweep high enough for a tall 6' 4" person to see out clearly). After 7 years of service, we have quite a few miles on our Flagship. Top speed: 5 mph or 8 kph. We like the warning 'beeper' when in reverse. The machine has NO suspension so kinda bumpy and noisy. All on-board electrics are 24 VDC and that's a shame because so much of 12V is out there that could be employed (ie: plug-in heated seat cushion for one). Step-down (24VDC-12VDC) transformers are available though.
