Those of you with even a passing interest in scooters might be interested to see that Dive-Xtras launched a new version of its fantastic little X-Scooter earlier this year. Called the 'Sierra' model, the new X-Scooter offers a number of very cool new benefits that make it an even more attractive proposition! These include...

Trigger Shift™ Speed Control
Trigger Shift Speed Control allows you to simply change speed "On the Fly". There are 5 speeds setting on the Trigger Shift Speed Control (from 80% - 100% of the speed produced by the setting of the varible pitch prop). When you plug the battery in, the Trigger Shift Speed Control will start on the middle speed setting of three (3). To dive you simply pitch the varible pitch prop to what you want and then adjust speed (80%-100%) using the Trigger Shift Speed Control. You can still stop and manual turn down the varible pitch prop to produce no thrust when needed for safety during stowing or towing of the X-Scooter.

There's a very cool video of the new trigger shift here....

Zinc Anode
To further limit the possibility of galvanic corrosion, there is a zinc anode on the front of the Sierra Body. It holds down the Front D-Ring. The Zinc counteracts any Galvanic corrosion that may occur on the scooter between the aluminum body and stainless components.

New Shroud and propeller system

• Increased thickness of key components for strength.
• New clutch tooth design for increased torque capacity.

Lithium Ion Battery

Now I challenge *anyone* to say they don't want one!!!!!!! Now if I can only convince them to do a straight swap for my Gavin then I'd be laughing!
