• K-Diggity buys a SWEET new ride… a moped

  I don’t know if the name Kevin Rose means anything to you. Back around 2002 he used to roam the halls of TechTV (before G4 screwed it up)? No? Remember, Leo Laporte used to introduce him as “The Dark Tipper”, and loved for him to share... Posted Mar 01 2010, 01:12 PM by The Scooter Scoop! Filed under: Moped, News

• Ridley Motorcycles throws in the towel

  (Come on! Stick that lip in, wipe away those tears! It's too late to cry about it now.)

• Let Vossi destroy the rest of your work day

  (fortunately none of the mopeds, scooters and motorcycles are as hideous as this folding Motograziella from 1969... I want one.) How's your Tuesday going? Good? Getting some stuff done? Well, not any more. Here is your link to what you'll be looking... Posted Nov 10 2009, 10:17 PM by The Scooter Scoop! Filed under: Moped, Germany

• Photo of the day - Jewlian on Magnum

  Here's a shot from djangokill's flickr collection titled Jewlian on Magnum, uploaded yesterday. I'm not sure where it was taken, but it caught my eye... that's why it's today's "Photo of the Day". Posted Oct 30 2009, 07:07 PM by The Scooter Scoop! Filed under: Photography, Moped

• Polini Cup highlights

  I'm digging my way out of an email avalanche, so I'll be posting a few scoops that aren't their freshest, but still tasty. Thanks to Graham, a loyal soldier of the Moped Army, for this video scoop from the April and May Polini Cup races! Be... Posted Oct 05 2009, 11:34 PM by The Scooter Scoop! Filed under: Race, Moped

• The CargoBee

  A company out of Heerenberg Holland is making a neat little bakbrommer ("box moped") called a CargoBee . The CargoBee is a 49 cc three-wheeled cargo carrier and the engine and semi-automatic transmission appear to be pulled right out of a Honda... Posted Jun 18 2009, 03:56 PM by The Scooter Scoop!

• 1977 Mopeds "Yuba Bike"

  While cruising for parts for my vintage Sachs moped I checked into 1977 Mopeds , one of the best spots on the internet for all things moped. While there I checked out the mopeds they have for sale. I am not in the market for yet another bike, but it's... Posted Jun 17 2009, 06:37 AM by The Scooter Scoop! Filed under: Moped, OMG

• The craziest mashup benefit of all time! Throw a kit on that 'lex!

  (The peeps at Warbux are ready to get this feestje started!) What do you get when a band of 20 Dutch (Hollanders, Niederlanders, les Hollandais) philanthropists ride a benefit for the children of Indonesia in the United States on French mopeds? "It's...

  From the Villa.Fi flickr collection (see title link) comes this shot of a moped, the likes of which I've never seen. Three wheels, full front fairing, windshield with wiper, roof.

• When a scooter IS a moped

  (finding a good image of a Vespa V5A with the pedals attached is about as hard as finding a photo of Sasquatch with his hair combed.) I remember seeing this in a book once. It was a GREAT photo of what is definitely one of the oddest Vespas ever made... Posted Apr 15 2008, 05:46 AM by The Scooter Scoop! Filed under: Vespa, Oddity, 2-Stroke, Moped, Scooter

• WTF?! Moped of the year!?

  Originally uploaded by Taaplari Wowzers! Taaplari stumbled across some $#!+ right there! Part moped, part mud bog racer.

• Do moped riders have to wear protective gear?

  Thanks to reality-fan who is sharing this photo from his flickr account (title link). Here Sonya Olson makes one ponder... Do mopedists reallly need to wear protective gear? I mean, she can't be going THAT fast, right? You know... as long as she promises... Posted Dec 15 2007, 02:41 AM by The Scooter Scoop! Filed under: Rider Safety, Photography, Moped
