So would this be correct?

First Generation:
Farallon

Second Generation:
Tekna
Apollo
Mako
Gavin
SS

Third Generation:
X-Scooter
SS N19
Mini Gavin

First generation: 007 and Thunderball!

Sorry Ben- I have no clue!

What would be the criteria for the third generation?

I would submit that both the N-19 and Mini-G may not qualify, since the motor is the same old brushed motor instead of electronicly controlled brushless.

I would consider the third generation to be a combination of form factor, battery chemistry and motor technology.

By that consideration, I would add the HKN-1 to the third generation list.

All the best, James

Haven't really thought about criteria... just more in general terms in the time frame they came out.... The HKN-1 is interesting performance wise.... They haven't started production have they?...

Should we include Sea Doo's in the 3rd Gen list? They are a bit underpowered but fun non the less I guess

 

[Kevrumbo]

How 'bout these early prototype versions?
BTW, I just got my X-Scooter back from the factory with a full Sierra upgrade

Where do we then put a Li-Ion powered X?

Sea Doo belongs in the semi-toy category. All the scooters you've listed can go below 130 and can actually tow someone. You need to add the Zeuxo (Italian scooter), the German Aquazepp, Torpedo scooter and the Rocket boots. The Zepp was one big mother, but cool.

p.s. I left out the Predator scooter from AUL.

 

[Ben_ca]

True.... but didn't want to leave anyone out... I'll have to google the Aquazepp... the Zeuxo, Torpedo, predator and rocket boots I have heard of....

BTW When's that X coming in Mr X?

and rocket boots I have heard of....
