Bill, if or when you get yours done with the scooter set up let me know so I can see what you did please. Ive looked at them and seen the possibilities but that most of them are hub drives I am not so confident to setting them up without blowing up one of those lithium batteries.
Thanks,
Allen

I just bought a self-propelled electric lawnmower. I don't know what it would cost to get your hands on such a drive system, but it sure seems like it would work well on a pier. It has a variable speed drive system and the batteries are small and light.
People are shocked to see sharks in the water around here.
If you see natural water taste it. If it's salty it has sharks in it. If it's fresh it has alligators in it. If it's brackish it has both.
