without knowing the technical setup - I would say unless they offer a greater stopping surface area of pad to disc, then there wouldn't be much difference.

At the end of the day, its the amount of pots pushing the amount of pad onto the disc that makes the difference IMO. So more pots pushing, or greater surface area of pad onto disc is what will make the diff.

Easier to sell them for the right vehicle and find something else if you want to upgrade brakes on the scoob. You'd probably need adapter brackets etc to fit them and it would be a load of hassle....
