It’s been over a year since Fly first showed their cub styled scooter at the Indy Dealer Expo and today the Scout is finally ready to launch!  This new Scout bares little in common with the sample shown at the 2009 Expo and really looks more like an old school Honda Cub in its current [...]

Ever wonder what they were going to do with all that unobtainium they were mining in the movie Avatar? They were rushing it back to Honda so they could build this concept electric 3-wheeler in time for the 80th annual Geneva Motor Show. This mythical machine is half 3-wheeler, half electric car. [...]

What happens when you get 600 – 800 scooterists to converge on a US city? Increased smog levels? An overextended emergency services department? A bunch of confused gawkers? Besides all of that… YOU GET AMERIVESPA! That’s right! It’s time again for the Vespa Club of America’s annual scooter [...]

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 his hacking secrets with the viewers?  No, still no [...]

One benefit of having a Honda plant in your own country is that the team there has a REAL understanding of your market; take Thailand for instance.  The Honda Thailand factory is producing exactly what the population demands (a large number of big-wheel scooters in the 110 cc-150 cc range). Last week Honda announced that they [...]

(photo source) So, the end has finally come for the old Hummer. Yes, THAT Hummer. WHAT HAPPENED?! Where did it all go wrong?! We used to LOVE the Hummer. HECK! Back in 2002 tax payers and oil exporting countries used to SUBSIDIZE the Hummer through a government issued $100,000 tax [...]

Bicycleman wins. From what I understand a lady in Wenzhou, China had her purse snatched by a couple of thugs on a scooter, she screams. Just seconds later security cameras catch a bicycling bystander calmly dismounting his bicycle and then forcefully hurling it at the criminals sending them sliding down the pavement. [...]

I don’t pretend to know everything about every scooter, so you should forgive me when I say that I’ve never heard of the Crossrunner brand out of Alpharetta, Georgia. I doubt you have either, until NOW that is. I only ask that if you watch this video that you refrain from taking out [...]

Here’s a right nice looking, 1960 Ape for sale on eBay. It’s not all original (has a Bajaj 150cc engine and rear suspension), but would definitely be a conversation starter. Expect to pay about $1000 to crate and freight, not including any special port fees, customs, warehousing, etc. fees. Also expect for it to [...]

Alrighty!  Casey and Steve have survived the 2010 Indy Dealer Expo relatively unscathed (with the exception of  their brutally maimed sleep schedule) and have managed to post a couple of dozen video clips from the show.  All of them can be seen HERE> on Youtube.  Just in case your not familiar, the Indianapolis Powersports Dealer [...]

I was just poking around the Piaggio site to see what was new and saw an ad for promotion that ends in 10 days. The details go like so: $0 Down/ $0 payments/ 0% Interest Act now to take advantage of $0 down/ $0 payments/ 0% interest on purchases of new and unused 2009 and 2010 [...]

Following 4-letter-word naming convention of Kymco’s Like comes this flashy little number called the Many.  Their marketing material clearly aims this scooter at the ladies (see video below) with it’s glittery, high fashion runway appeal but I think it’s kinda nice myself.  Now, I don’t know what that says about me but I’d still give [...]
