I used to bike with the dogs but where we live now, it is just little too bumpy to cycle especially with my city bike(hurty bum!).
I can't run at the moment as my knees are having issues and walking is little slow for my dogs to stride out properly so I have been looking at alternatives and came across dog scooters(ones with two wheels).

On the clips etc I have seen are in reasonable rough surface but I wanted to see if anybody here have used one of these and how is the ride on a rough road?
I would be going on grassy footpaths that are little bumpy and country roads.
Obviously if the speed I can get the scooter to go is not much more than walking or if I would end up dragging the scooter with me most of the time it would be little pointless to get one!

Oh and the dogs would probably not be pulling but running offlead with me so I would be kicking the scooter forward.

If you've got dodgy knees, you may find scooting hard going! Some scooters are higher than others... I have a Mission scooter which has a lower footplate as I have bad knees and if I am to scoot this makes it easier for me. Mind you, I've always got a dog on the front pulling :-) As for bumpy roads, you can get models with full suspension if you wish. There's Mission, Pawtrekker and Toucan that I can think of off the top of my head :-)

As Joan said scootering can put pressure on your knees.However we got a pawtreker scooter about 3 or 4 years ago and used it on a very bumpy hard sand surface.Fine with 1 Woo but a bit of a white knuckle ride with 2 lol.My only problem was it hurt when I fell off which I did a few times.I now have a 3 wheeled dry land rig which is far more stable(especially as I am getting older).However its way too hot and humid at the moment,so need to wait until its cooler.

oh I have dodgy knees but not so dodgy they stop me! They don't actually hurt when I do stuff but the next day and when I'm not doing anything, rest ache...
I still run but can't run long enough distances(I can but will know it the next day!) so thought if I'm kicking I get further with same effort :)

I find my using my pawtrekker dogless takes much more energy than pedalling a bike. I also used to catch and cut the insides of my ankles a fair few times when I started scootering.

The suspension on the pawtrekker is brilliant though, so I dont see that being an issue.

Are you sure you dont want to teach your dogs to pull you as its great fun and they enjoy doing it, especially with a working breed (im guessing from your avatar). You dont have to be flying round like the husky crowd but could settle for a steady trot, that way you get to see quite a few miles and both you and your dogs have had an equal workout.

I would love them to pull and will see if they would (I have a husky type harness that fits) but have to be realistic and be ready to "motor" it myself :)...
Saying that with the bike the older one will run like a wind but only towards the lake she gets to have a dip in :).
Younger girl is only 10 months old so I don't want her to pull yet...and she has not yet gone out with the bike as we have moved and my bike just does not work here.

As I was faced with having to purchase different bike(better suspension) I started to look in to other options and thought scooter might be better with the roads and also being lower on the ground, make me feel little safer.

I think I will need to invest on a scooter with suspension though so can't just get a cheap one...

The best place for scooters if you have a budget is to keep an eye on some of the husky sites as there are often ones coming up for sale, eg sibespace or the sled dog clubs/association pages.

Buying new I can think of a few sites off the top of my head which are snowpawstore or culpeppers.

If you get them pulling they and you will probably appreciate a bungy in the tugline/lead !

Sometime's you can pick up some good ones on ebay 2nd hand. A friend of mine got a really good one for cheap on there :-)

I thought you said dog scooting, so I was going to suggest having his anul gland emptied. Oops.
