I have a Permobil M300, the fastest I can get it to go is 5.5 mph. I tried it out on the flight deck of the USS midway while on vacation. Which is fine with me, the terrain I have to go over outside of my home is usually pretty rough. The only problems I've had is one of the armrests falling apart, but I think it is normal wear and tear.
