For the next Mad Max movie in the franchise they should base it on a post apocalyptic Paris with the scooter riders/drivers. The stand-ups, sit downs, electric, gassers - these motherfuckers are insane.

It's crazy how people zip around on scooters in European cities, dodging around buses and trucks, etc. I can understand why they need nationalized health care.

I love my scooter. Vespa GT250Super. ~70mph. It would be the perfect ride in Manhattan, San Francisco, Amsterdam, Paris, Rome and/or Madrid. Works great. Low maintenance, but not easy to work on.
I just changed the battery, oil and plug
For $800 more, I could have had a new Triumph Bonneville. Sometimes we do stupid things.

Those old scooters look good but I think something from this century is better, escooters have come a long way.

Rode one around Rome a few weeks ago and it was a blast. Dangerous AF with how they drive, but one of the trip highlights.

See the rental models scattered all over the outside of town.
I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

At this point what makes more sense: a scooter or an ebike? Those ebikes tool around quite effectively.

I looked at ebike's for the past couple of months and they are limited to class 2, around 750 watts which gets you up to 28mph with pedal power. I looked at Cannondale, Trek, Santa Cruz and they were are limited with basic components, looking at spending $4k to $6k then I found HPC bike and they can go 55mph 3000 watts for around the same price but technically you can only use them on private land.

I needed something for around town but didn't want to spend $6k then another $2k to replace the battery in seven years so went with a Apollo scooter, easy to replace parts and battery is $500 to replace after 5 to 7 years. escooters you can ride anywhere, I fly by cops on the sidewalk going 30 +, nobody cares because it's a stand up scooter.
