I was set on the Osprey from Yume, but something told me to look at the available choices again. I went to Minimotors and saw a big sale on this monster… (Maybe a psychological ploy, but it worked). The rest was history.

I was a bit hesitant on the Osprey because the weight limit went down even though it’s still just the M11, but the FS says plain as day 330 lbs. And I’m 6’5" 300 lbs so that was one box checked.

Anyhow, shakedown cruise complete. This is my first scooter, I have a Begode RS that I never really mastered cause I’m old and apparently more clumsy than I thought. I will say the torque the FS can deliver at 20mph when you put it on level 3, 4 or 5 is surprising. Really surprising. Luckily I watched plenty of videos and was on the kickplate, cause flat footed I think I would have been thrown.

Anyhow, fun to be in the club. Cheers all.
