Re: Modified Apollo Scooter for Freediving

Hi Jon,

Thanks for the post. I tried that originally but wasn't happy with the position as the handles are at the front which puts the scooter too close and the pivot point with the strap at the back in the wrong place. You can see in my pick the strap to the prop guard and the handle at the back allows me to get further from the scooter with true one hand balanced riding and directional control due to the pivot and towing points being both at the prop guard.

.....only thing now to solve is the tortion created by the prop as it is a bit like a helicopter without a tail rotor....simple mod for this with some deflection plates
