TRX Personal Transporter scooter.

The TRX scooter is known as a "personal transporter", which to me sounded like a vehicle from "Star Wars". However, we discovered TRX Italia one when we were shopping online for an electric scooter. Living in a small retirement community, we felt like an alternative form of transportation to our car would be helpful. So far, we have made several discoveries about the TRX Personal Transporter scooter.

First of all, we noticed right away that it is a 3 wheel electric scooter. After doing some additional research, we discovered that the 3 wheels provide additional stability over the TRX Trainer traditional 2 wheels.

Being senior citizens, stability is quite important to us. It also has an amazingly tight turning radius, which is helful for maneuvering in tight spaces.

We live in a hilly area of southern California, so the alternative form of transportation would have to have adequate power. The TRX scooter features a twin 150 watt motor, which is quite poweful.

We find that it has no problems making it up the hills around our house, and TRX Suspension Training it does so with plenty of "pep!"In fact, it can reach speeds of up to 15 mph on level ground. Believe me, that's plenty fast enough for us old folks!

We definitely needed an electric scooter with adequate range. This particular model can go up to 10 miles on a single charge of it's triple 12 volt batteries. It can go somewhat further with my wife riding it, because she weighs less than me.

That kind of range is fine for us, as most of the points of destination are a mile or two away within our community. We generally charge the battery in overnight, and we are good to go in the morning!


We now have the perfect alternative form of transportation we were looking for, thanks to the TRX scooter!
