Don't know which mushing scooter for 1, 2, 3 o 4 dogs to choose?
The difference between these three models is determined by the chosen components, especially considering the terrain where the training will take place.
In the practice of mushing, we will choose the M10 Trail for rough and rugged terrains with rocks or roots and steep descents. The M10 Trail features thicker tires both front and rear, with more tread. It also has a wider board and a wider handlebar, allowing you to tackle these rugged terrains and descents with much more safety and confidence.
On the other hand, the PULKA and M10 is more suited for smoother terrains where ride is easier, and where a better tire rolling is more crucial than tire grip. You won't need as much handlebar or tread because any descents are very gentle. The terrain also lends itself more to kick propulsion to assist the dogs on flat ground, making a narrower board more comfortable for the musher.
The difference between the M10 and the PULKA lies in the chassis weight; the PULKA, being made of aluminum, is lighter, making it recommended for sprint races.
