    Cute Scooter.

    Are you going to make a custom mount to hold your camera so you can shoot driving down the road?
    Feel Free to edit my photos, However please explain what you did to them.

    Looks neat, I hope it works well for you. When I was a kid the moped was the gas powered equivalent with pedals and a low max speed.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Very neat, Don. Could do with one of those myself. How do running costs compare. That is to charge the battery for 30 miles instead of putting the same amount of petrol in the tank?

    well gasoline is still pretty cheap and its available everywhere. It would cost you about 1 dollar to travel the distance in a car, let alone an gas scooter. I bought it just to get around in my community. I don't have a drivers license.

    I think thats great. I suppose we all have to start thinking about what we can do to be more eco friendly.

    I aslo would urge you to take care, it the respect that they make so little noise, some one may step out into the road in front of you.
