Little late to the party, can confirm the Go is a nice use case for specific needs of divers.
Do I own one? Nah... I have two Genesis 3.1's... no need.
Do I recommend it to some of my buddies? Yep, all day. I can price them equal with two battery changes but some buddies are focused on the initial MSRP in which the Go obviously wins at ~$5k.
Would I buy a similar sized scooter from Logic Dive Gear if Jon ever decided to make a true 'competitor' in the Go's 'class'?
- Honestly probably, it would work well for the type of diving my girlfriend does. Light and on vacation. It might also eliminate the need for me to lug two Genesis 3.1's across the boat/beach. The Genesis is too heavy for her while her gear is on, but I'd rather lug two scooters on land than compromise the quality of the dive.
Non proprietary batteries and all, Genesis pounds Seacraft into the Marianas trench where they will go to implode at.... many meters.... nevermind.... not to mention Logic Dive Gear is in the US and Seacraft is Polish I believe? Although Seacraft does have a legit presence in the states too.
For what its worth >=half of my buddies have Genesis (1200 upgraded to 2.2, 600 upgraded to 2.1, 3.1 like me) - one buddy has a Go which I've played with a bit and others have an array of Blacktips and Cudas / DiveX products. The Go is a solid 2nd place in the group but it can't share a stick at anything Logic Dive Gear has made. Even the owner of the CudaX Tech/Exploration was impressed with my 3.1's speed and handling when I let him borrow it once.
@Jon Nellis any secret plans to make a ~20lb 'mini' scooter in the near future?
