I would have to take a wild guess and say that these are not intended for chasing people. Rather, these let the cops rest while getting around so they are more than ready for a foot chase. Just a guess, though. I remember walking a beat... had its advantages, but being well rested wasn't one of them. I was always really sore by the end of the week. Ian

I walk into a co-workers office (he runs the jail) and sitting there on his desk is a brochure for these things! Wha? You have got to be kidding me! Luckily I don't work in the jail, so I don't have to ride these things and feel like mall security. greatwhites2k wrote in post #6038948 we have those out here in cali. the cops look so stupid riding around on those which can easily be outran on foot. Reading the brochure I discovered that the top speed is 25 MPH. Woah... faster than I expected, and no, you can't run 25 miles per hour, considering that the fastest runner in the world ran at 27. Us mere mortals won't get close to that speed. Ian
