What is the verdict on this "scooter"

~$550 seems low.

1,5m/s is 90m/min, or 295ft/min, seriously doubt those numbers.
They say 17,6lbs thrust, in comparison Suex claims a top speed of 85m/min on their XJ with a max thrust of 74,2lbs.
Dive Xtras claim 57lbs thrust for their Blacktip with a top speed of ~70m/min.
17,6lbs thrust is basically a strong and steady fart and will in no way send you flying forward at 90m/min.

$550 sounds about right, it's a pool toy for kids and it is priced as such.

See below with the results compendium from the Tahoe Benchmark done about 10 years ago. Many of these scooters are still considered top end scooters so while there are many on there not represented, it's good enough. If they're claiming 18lbs of torque, then it puts it halfway between the Oceanic Mako and the Torpedo 2000. Call it 120fpm in a recreational configuration and probably 100fpm in a tech configuration. Combine that with a 30minute battery *which has an asterisk next to it so lord only knows what that means and I'd call it a pool toy and nothing more.

Total junk for diving but unironically super fun as a swimming pool toy.

Keep an eye out for used Sierra's. We've got two and the most I've paid was $700 in complete working order.

Our rep came in with one for us to try. It floats like crazy, battery is non existent with a load. Its a pool toy, save your money for something else.
