Alright guys, now it's time to talk about the real star of the show. We are introducing the oh-so-popular "The Beast" gas scooter, only from Martin Monster. This scooter is powered by a 52cc powered Mitsubishi engine which supplies twice the torque of a Go-Ped Sport!!! This engine comes with a 3.5 horsepower standard engine. This will definitely blow your socks off. For some of you crazy off-roaders, you should really consider this scooter because it can take such a beating and it will only want more after that. You even have a very comfy ride on rocky terrain because of its dual suspension system which provides three inches of travel. Each wheel on this scooter is supplied with quick release axles and dual axle adjusters which make them very easy to disassemble for repairs, adjustments, or replacements.

All you racers out there, hear this!!! This scooter is supplied with a heavy duty 1.75 inch chromium alloy racing frame. This will support your ride and provide the best handling you can ever get out of a gas scooter. You guys will truly be impressed. For all of you who are used to the Go-Ped Sport's spindle drive, you will be completely stunned with the power of this chain drive system. It will take you up any mountain. You just have to press the throttle and away you go!!!

With the Beast's centrifugal clutch you will be able to idle, unlike the Sport, which has a direct drive by spindle and cannot have this unique feature. The Beast is also hand polished and show chromed so when you will be driving in your neighborhood, you will be sure to turn some heads. The best part about this scooter is that it has no bad reports of it breaking down or arrive scratched or damaged, which were some problems X-Treme had with their scooters. This engine supplied on this scooter is also capable with most after market parts.

Ladies and gents, it's finally here. The one, the only, Go-Ped propane powered gas scooter. People over the years have complained, saying that their scooter has been running too loud. Since normal gas scooters are powered by a regular two-stroke engine, that noise is inevitable. But Go-Ped listened and they have created the ultimate machine. This scooter is powered by a four-stroke propane powered gas scooter. It is very useful and has a very quick fueling process. All you need to do is purchase a regular propane tank at any hardware store and untwist the cap. Once untwisted, all you need to do is insert/twist it into the propane container holder and lock it with the hatch provided. Once you have done that, the scooter is ready to run! Okay, many of you want power out of a machine right? Well this scooter is NOT meant for hard core racing or hill climbing. If you are an extremist, we recommend that you choose a different scooter to satisfy you.

Since this scooter has a four-stroke propane powered engine the maximum horsepower you are bound to get from it is about 1.2. This is not much. However, if you are one of those people who just want to get from A to B in a breeze, without a rush, this scooter is for you. If you look at the design of this scooter, it has a similar frame to the Go-Ped sport. This weighs around twenty-five pounds. This is very light and the frames can withstand over 300 pounds! Wow!!! Most scooters at that weight can't even do that!

Now lets get more detailed about the engine. Since this scooter is propane powered its emissions are extremely low. And for this, this scooter won the EPA Clean Air Excellence Award for having the cleanest emissions out of a scooter.

Now here comes the moment of truth for you to decide if this scooter is right for you:

Smooth ride, Stopping power is impressive, very quiet engine, very strong frame, propane is a cheap gas and it is very easy to purchase this type of gas, chain driven, this scooter features the "Twist 'n Go" feature, kick stand is included, Legal for use in California!!!

Deck is very small, tires are solid rubber and must be replaced every six months(depending on usage), wires are not very well concealed, engine is not very powerful(but what do you expect, it's a four-stroke propane powered scooter), handlebars may feel small for you, brakes wear out tires, oil must gradually be changed(but very easy to do).

This scooter has deserved a B as a final letter grade in our review. We are proud to stamp this scooter with our sticker:

This scooter is described only in one word: Awesome! This scooter is all about speed,
with its high performance 40cc Tanaka engine. If you buy this scooter you will be able to do jumps and different tricks that will require some air. With its roomy deck and strong frame, with the weight limit of about 380 pounds. That means that it is capable of holding up to two people. But please be careful. The driver must be cautious. There are some flaws with riding two-rider. The passenger must wear pants unless you like getting your leg burned by the motor. Also please be careful of the drive system and that nothing interferes with it. There is a protector for the drive system, but it is a little weak, and one kick accidentally to that protector and you will be in trouble, as you will interfere with the drive system. The passenger must always wear a helmet so that if the driver looses control you will have protection. THE DRIVER MUST ALSO WEAR A HELMET AT ALL TIMES!!!
