User reviews of the Perception Kayaks Scooter

I have had my Scooter for a couple of years now and it's been fun, fun, fun. In the surf it is more than capable. On lakes and rivers it's a joy, and white water very stable. It does'nt track as well as the frenzy but wipes the floor with it in ever other aspect. Six of my mates have now bought one each, and my mate with the frenzy wishes he had too!

Just bought mine,I am new to kayaking and nearly fifty so I wanted something I felt safe on.The first time I used it was on windermere in 35mph winds. It performed well in the choppy waters and tracking was impressive,I managed to keep it straight, right from the begining,even in 2ft waves.I got a bic backrest with mine and this proved very comfortable.I did manage to flip it fairly easily when testing how far over it would go,however under normal use it was very stable. For me the absolute plus is the ease with which it can be transported on a roof rack and then carried to launch point.Hours of fun sum up this little kayak.

I concur with the other reviews, the Scooter is incredibly stable and tracks well. I bought mine just under a year ago to accompany my wife in her Perception Sparc, which included seal launches off steep river banks - what a hoot! I too use thigh straps, but also haven't found a need for a back rest. Great fun on the sea (Solent), especially when choppy! The stowage for day trips is good and it is also easy to transport on top of the car on the roof rack. As a final point I would have to say speed isn't its greatest virtue, but this is more than made up for with its stability. I would highly recommend the Scooter for anyone new to the sport of kayaking.

Great kayak. Have used on river & on sea, also on Dorset coast. Would recommend this for any one wanting a single seater sit-on - very stable, yet great manoeuvrability.

Great little sit-on, floats like a cork! Great in the sea and copes well with waves/swell, doesn't track as well as longer boats or those with a more pronounced keel like the Frenzy, the front of the boat can get a bit slappy in small wind blown waves due to the flat nose, surfs well although thigh straps are a must for this! Have not found need for back-rest as of yet. Overall, you will not be disappointed the quality of the Perception boats in my opinion exceeds that of Ocean Kayak! This review, as with the first, is also based on experience on the Dorset coast.
