Around Gympie though, plenty of riders are after something for the property rather than the path. Off-road scooters are higher-powered models built for private land and rough terrain, where the personal mobility device rules do not apply. They are made for acreage, farm tracks and trails rather than public roads or footpaths. If you have the space to open one up, an off-road scooter gives you the power and grip a road-legal model cannot. Tell us how you plan to ride, and we will match you to the right one.
