Seems pretty cool!!

Yeah Kerry, seen those things. We have lots of them here for the tourists to rent. I hate getting behind a fleet of them or a bunch of spring breakers on low powered scooters. It seems none of them go much more than 30 MPH. They would be much cooler if they would go about 80

They remind me of the Autopia cars at Disneyland.

I thought that looked familiar, thanks to the history channel.

You can also get the Tango with doors and a 200cc motor that they say will do 50-60mph:

But I don't think 200cc is enough to pull even a very light teardrop.....

Cool, but, "Ferarie" Red??? Enzo is rolling in his grave.

Oh, BTW, I pick up my gas saver tomorrow. It's a vintage Scooter that'll do about 45mph.

Very cool Kerry.

If gas prices keep going up, we might all own one soon.

Cool! But please remember the really important maintenance requirement for old Cubs - abuse and neglect.

Putting gas in and maybe once a year checking the oil and tyres is all these bikes can stand - and will ensure they start first kick every time and run forever. You start doing rash things like pulling out the spark plug to look at it and suddenly they start developing problems and going all delicate on you.

And also remember - they are meant to lurch at each gear change....

...goes 50+mph and gets 100+mpg and costs 2grand...if you can stand the laughter it would make a good commuter/campground ride...doubt it could tow very much though...

76+ mph, all electric. I am just patiently waiting for more EV's on the market and prices to come down. But - they are coming.

The current "other option" (one of them) buy a Chinese $2000 scooter.

Just be sure to order a metal lathe and mill so you can make your own parts. I hear parts are hard to come by for the Chinese clones.


Yep. "patiently wait".

Yahama does make a decent "Scoot" for around $3500 out the door.

If I HAD to go with Chinese prolly be a QLink.
