00:02 We're here along the East River Promenade
00:05 to check out the Dragonfly DFX sports scooter.
00:07 It's got four wheels, full suspension,
00:10 and can go pretty much anywhere.
00:12 This is literally one of the most
00:14 badass scooters I've ever ridden.
00:16 (upbeat music)
00:18 So right away, you can tell that the DFX
00:28 is a lot different from most other scooters.
00:30 For one, it's got four wheels instead of two,
00:33 and that's because this is designed for real off-roading.
00:36 It's got big, beefy four-inch tires as well,
00:40 and full suspension, so you can really bounce on this thing
00:43 and you can see how it can really respond easily
00:47 to just about anything you drive over.
00:49 Like most scooters, this one also can fold down,
00:56 so when you wanna store it,
00:58 it's not exactly the most compact.
01:01 It also weighs about 70 pounds,
01:03 so it's gonna be a little bit tough
01:05 getting up your apartment.
01:06 Another standout feature of the Dragonfly
01:12 is that it has a pretty big display in the front here.
01:15 Nice color screen.
01:16 It shows you your speed, your distance,
01:19 battery life, of course, if your lights are on,
01:22 and a few other things like that.
01:23 I also like that this one has turn signals,
01:25 so you can see right here,
01:27 and then in the back, it also shows.
01:31 There are three speed settings, D1 through D3.
01:34 The lowest one, you'll go to maximum
01:35 of about five miles an hour.
01:37 You crank it up to D3, and you're cruising along at 28.
01:40 That's pretty fast.

01:44 Woo, that sure beats looking at spreadsheets all day.
02:00 The Dragonfly DFX is a hell of a lot of fun to ride.
02:04 Is it $4,000 worth of fun?
