Pride Baja Bandit Mobilty Scooter Review I've written down my thoughts on the Baja Bandit if anyone's thinking of buying one, I'd tried to cover everything sorry if I drag on 🤣 As predicted its not a mudplugger or rock hopper, you won't be crossing sandunes or ploughed fields - It's fine with say up to 2 inches of gravel or loose stones, just keep the the throttle pinned to push through if needed. Only time I've bottomed out was in deep stones or the rear axle straddling a ridge / rocks, it has a substantial skid plate protecting motor etc so all good. You just adapt your driving to this. Up 2 inch+ kerbs no probs, down even larger. I've yet to find an incline it won't handle, similarly a decent. Electromechanical brake is very good, not used hand operated brake once. To be fair you'd probably be fine with just the one battery, see how you go, have yet to get battery meter off "full" yet. Recharge 1 to 14 hours, on or off scooter. Lights excellent - headlight amazing! The ride is firm, yes wud be more plush with pneumatics, but personally I'll live without. There's a spare spring for the seat shock absorber which I fitted for my weight and has made ride better. You get a bit of tiller rattle going across cobblestones etc but its not as bad as smaller wheeled scooters. Seat adjusts back / forward . The riding position for a mid size scooter is surprisingly comfy, seat itself is plush. One thing - the throttle is on the right hand only, you'd have to check if you need it on the left. Dismantling / re assembly straight forward, largest piece around 1m x 550mm & 31kg so 2 may well be needed to lift. Still small enough to go along a crowded pavement or around supermarkets. Quality seems good - "robust?" Time will tell. Welds look great and an ABS deck means no worries about paint scratching. Value? Against most chinese transportables it looks expensive, against a full size off roader it's half price. I suppose this is in a class of its own at present, an 8mph off road 4 wheel transportable scooter that's also road legal, so only you can decide if its worth the money. For me it's taking me places I've not been before with confidence, you could even say it's life changing. In summary the bugbears - You will bottom out over rocks occasionally, more than 2" of soft stuff & you will get stuck, largest part is a bit to heavy for one to lift in / out of a vehicle.
