2 How small a dog can pull a scooter? Like so many questions the answer is, "it depends". It depends on the athleticism of the dog, the smoothness of the trail, the quality of the scooter and how far and fast you want to go. Of course if you want to go miles you probably need a dog who weighs 40 pounds and up. If you are content with time spent rather than miles traveled, a smaller dog can pull just fine. For many people the measurement is time spent rather than miles traveled. Before work you scooter your dog for say 40 minutes. Does it matter whether you go 2 or 10 miles in that amount of time? Once your small dog is trained and not likely to cause you to crash, you can switch from a scooter to a mountain bike. By pedaling a bike you can take a lot of the weight off him so he can run flat out if that is what he likes. 2 / 6
