Rascal launches the new Rascal Balance

The Rascal Company has led the industry in technological breakthroughs in personal electric vehicle technology for 35 years. Michael Flowers founded The Rascal Company with his late father, Francis, and is co-inventor of the original Rascal. He is also the inventor of the Rascal ConvertAble and the powerfolding Rascal AutoGo.

The Magnetic Stabilizer is a major technological breakthrough. The Magnetic Stabilizer technology automatically deploys when the Rascal Balance turns at any reasonable speed. As the front wheel turns, the outside stabilizer wheel touches down on the riding surface. The centrifugal force immediately releases the magnetic field holding the stabilizer fork and wheel in place. At this point, the 3-wheel design instantly becomes a 4-wheel design.

As the Rascal Balance turns, the Magnetic Stabilizer wheel tracks the identical path as the front (steering) wheel. When the front wheel is turned in a straight direction, the Magnetic Stabilizer wheel automatically returns to its normal position above the riding surface and the magnets lock the fork and wheel firmly back in place.

The Rascal Balance also features a superior Frame-Forward™ design. This frame design provides maximum comfort in lower body posture. There is a much larger foot and leg accommodation range when compared to most other 3-wheel scooters and especially their 4-wheel counterparts. The Rascal Balance provides all of the benefits of 3-and-4 wheel scooters in one inclusive and affordable package:

Safety
Comfort
Ease of use

Dec 20, 2007

A young man by the name of Marty Hall age 20 of Ellwood City, Pennsylvania, received a wonderful Christmas present — an electric scooter donated by The Rascal Company. Marty along with his family (father Marty sr. and his mother Sue) were surprised this season when they received the Rascal Scooter presented by Lee Owen, a local mobility consultant for The Rascal Company. The scooter donation was made at the local Volunteer Fire Department Hall.

Marty, who suffers from Spina Bifida, will now be able to use the Rascal Scooter to lead a more productive life, not only allowing him more mobility at home, but also around town and on trips with his family. An avid hunter and fisher, Marty knew no limits when it came to his manual wheelchair. “He was going through one manual wheelchair a year,” Lee Owen of The Rascal Company stated. “He would take it all over outdoors.”

“Giving back is part of The Rascal Company’s corporate culture, and we are very pleased to make a donation to Marty Hall and his family,’” says Michael Flowers, chairman of The Rascal Company. “It seems especially appropriate to be able to donate the scooter to a young man in need at Christmas time, a season for giving. We wish Marty and his family all the best in the New Year.”

The Rascal Scooter is a re-chargeable transportation aid designed to improve people’s mobility, available in three and four wheeled models with a retail value over $3,000.
