chrislamerton Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Hi All, I'm Chris and I wanted to introduce you all to my scooter design, the Dax-scooter. I have seen a few comments about my scooters and scootering in general and as an enthusiastic advocate for dog scootering I thought I'd share some info with you about our product and some images of my dog team and the fun you can have with scooters. daxâ€â€scooter - is a new phenomenon that has arisen from a keen interest in exercising and having fun withenergetic dogs. Sleddog racing is a growing sport globally, but the size of many ‘Sled-dog Rigs'can cause problems for storage and transportation. To combat these issues and to open the sport up to the weekend enthusiast we've developed a lightweight, folding alternative - daxâ€â€scooter - an innovative, professional, 'Mini-Rig' developed specifically for ‘dog-scootering’. The dax-scooter encompasses the following features; · Easy transportation and storage. - Folding frame. - Folding handle bar stem. - Removable Brush-bow (Wheel Guard). - Quick release wheels.· Precision engineered aluminium alloy (7005 Grade) frame with clear lacquered.· Frame and fork suspension for a smooth ride down those rough trails.· Adjustable handle bars to suit the height of the rider.· 180mm Mechanical disk brakes.· Standard components allowing for personal customisation.· 14.6kg weight – the lightest folding scooter on the market.· Guaranteed against ‘frame fault’ for the lifetime of the original owner.· 100% Recyclable product. Please DO NOT throw it away or dispose of it when you have had your fun. We will arrange forcollection and recycle it properly.If you have any comments or questions I would love to hear from you, Also If there's anyone in the US who would like to become our stateside distributor then please drop me a line. Lastly have a look at our website for further info - www.dax-scooter.com Happy Scootering! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be promoting the scooters all over the UK either through our retailers doing shows and demos or by us travelling around with our dogs for shows etc. See you at one of them I'm sure.

Tikaani&Aiyana Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Hey Chris and welcome to the pack! Your scooters look great & your dogs are lovely! I definately want one but will prob have to save a bit of money first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrislamerton Posted May 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Hey Chris and welcome to the pack! Your scooters look great & your dogs are lovely! I definately want one but will prob have to save a bit of money first Hya, Thanks for the intro and feedback on the scooters and our team. The dogs are great though a bit of a handful from time to time. Well that'll teach us to have so many. After you've got two, another four isn't much more trouble. Anyway I'm glad you like the scooters and I'm sure it is only a matter of time before you join the dax-scooter family! Your dogs will love you for ever!! Do you have a scooter or rig at the moment?

Tikaani&Aiyana Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 No I don't and have been meaning to get one for ages! We have been using our bikes in the mean time! I also have horses so have to juggle finances to afford kit for all of them...animals who'd have 'em!! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrislamerton Posted May 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Bikes are a great way to start, that's how it all began for me. Desperately trying to keep up with two super energetic huskies!! Definitely a god way to train them up before the investment in a scooter.
