- One of the questions we sometimes hear is, "can a knee scooter be motorized?"
Right now, I want you to imagine this:You have a standard sedan car; then you somehow figure out how to strap a jet engine on it.
When firing up the engine, the car will most likely speed uncontrollably and eventually crash into something. This is because the form of a car and physics were not meant to be powered by a jet engine.
Though this may sound like a cool experiment— or an interesting Mythbusters episode—such an idea should be kept to the imagination.
The same goes for a knee scooter.
Their design is not meant to be motorized, nor was it designed to go high speeds or do tricks.
