0.14g surface gravity and 1.45 times earth's atmospheric density might make this a very good way to get around.

Edit: The low wattage of RTGs strikes again. This thing will do one hop every Titan day (16 Earth days) [0].

Edit 2: I'm conflating atmospheric pressure and density. However, it appears to have a 98.4% nitrogen atmosphere, so that seems reasonable.
