I was going to say something about how it's a kilometer-to-miles conversion in there, but apparently, that means she's got a top speed of 3.7 mph. For some reason, I thought it was faster. I'm partially paralyzed in my right ankle, and my average walking speed is about that.

I'm hoping to sustain a pace of six miles per hour for my half marathon in two months. I'm so not preparing as much as I should, but either way I can definitely reach six km/hr :parrot:

Six km/h is just walking speed, not even walking fast. It is slower than those electric scooters for old people.
It would makes more sense for her to have better movement speed than beign an electric pokemon for self defense. be able to move faster would be useful against many more dangers.
Neko_Ali:
Her left kneecap is rude as hell though.
Perfectly Reasonable:

Her shock mechanism looks like it's got a good 2 feet of spark gap at least, in the old chassis: http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1474
Assuming a needle as the electrode (which is a best-case)... we're talking over 300 kV.
Momo's "self-defense" weapon could be straight-up deadly, at significant range, with that much current. (The typical rule, IIRC, is 50 mA is enough to stop the heart, and 50 V across dry skin is enough voltage to get that 50 mA across the heart.) Also, if she can deliver a 75 kW pulse for a decent amount of time... you'd think she has the power supply to move a hell of a lot faster than 6 km/h.

I suspect Jeph really means 250 volts. It takes very little current to stop the heart. You need that kind of voltage to get through the skin. So if you must work live, it's a good idea to keep one hand in your pocket.
hedgie:
Actually, the 250mA has been canon even before she upgraded her chassis:
