The Bigfoot S-846 is a long-range four-wheel scooter from Eclipse’s Trailmaster series. It runs 50 km on a charge and has a 400 lb capacity, a 2.3 hp motor and a 15 km/h top speed.
It is built for rough ground: suspension front and rear, 12 inch tires and a safe climbing angle of 10 degrees, a 16 percent slope. Eclipse now sells it under the Trailmaster series rather than the Shoprider name, though it is the same machine.
It is a big scooter at 56 inches long and 26 inches wide, and it weighs 286 lb, so it is one to keep at home rather than load into a car.
