Too bad my dogs can't do too much of this stuff and too bad these things cost an arm and a leg and too bad there aren't too many trails here I'd go on and too bad I already flew off a scooter lol. This is something I'd enjoy very much, now just gotta find the right dog.

I've considered a trip to Portland, OR to get Denna outfitted for a dogpoweredscooter... I think that's be fun!
...as long as it's not hot out. She definitely doesn't fit the "high energy dog" category if the sun is out and/or temps are over 65F.

Yeah, these specific tools are not in the budget. But it makes me think of how I could alter a scooter to be more effective. I'd looove to get Ham to do this. And he would probably looove it too!

I found one on kijiji used for cheap
I dont event have a dog yet, but I have used it with my brothers boxer who is a rather smaller but strong dog

once you get a bit of momentum its really easy.
breaking and getting them to turn takes a bit of coaching
