Switching to Gas Powered Scooters to Save on Gas
KENNEWICK, Wash. - As gas prices break record highs, some people are turning to new transportation to beat prices at the pump.
26-year-old Matt Russell of Kennewick is parking his Jeep Wrangler SUV and switching to another way to get around.
"It's about 70 miles per the half gallon and it's amazing, my jeep gets, I'd say, 16 miles per gallon," said Matt Russell who recently purchased a scooter.
In other words, the light weight moped uses far less gas and is saving him money. But Russell isn't the only one catching on to this idea.
The Motorcycle Industry Council says sales on motor scooters have doubled in recent years. 42 thousand scooters were sold in the year 2000, 86 thousand in 2004, and they saw a 20% increase in sales 2006.

I’ll save the scooter for the sun!
MY civil partner Michael bought me a 50cc scooter for my birthday, for use at our home in Tangier, Morocco.
I celebrated with a lot of riding about in the mountains. Scooters are great in North Africa where it’s nice and warm but you’d never catch me on one in the UK, I’ll stick to my X5, thanks.
It did bring back memories, however, of my first ever mode of transport – a burnt orange colour Suzuki F250 scooter, my cheap and cheerful wheels bought with £45, which was two weeks’ wages from the pickle factory where I worked when I was 17.

Riding a scooter can save a lot of money
Greg Woods rides a Yamaha Majesty scooter from his Cherokee County, Ala., home to work in Rome. He gets about 60 miles per gallon.
The former military man is a longtime motorcyclist — he has ridden since age 14 (he’s now 45). After Hurricane Katrina, gas spiked to $3, and Woods said he faced a financial challenge.
“I had to do something to keep the most potential money in my pocket at the end of the week and as little to the gas man as possible,” said Woods, who has worked at Easy Living Yamaha in Armuchee for the past 18 years. “So I did several things.”

Scooter rules not fair to other drivers
To The Editor: Re: "Scooter accident sends man to hospital."
Given that most scooter users tend to be unlicensed and their scooters, classified as Mopeds under N.C. General Statute 105-164.3(22), are unregistered, uninspected and uninsured, who pays for the damage to Mr. Lindsey's truck?
Going by the article, it is easy to see who is at fault.
Yet this person will most likely end up not having to pay for damages, pay increased insurance rates or any of the other difficulties in which Mr. Lindsey now finds himself.
Why are scooters even allowed on the road requiring only the operator be 16 years or older, wear a helmet, be less than 50 cc and not able to exceed 30 mph without some kind of liability?
Let's face it, they're a nuisance and need to be taken off the roads!

King of the road on $5 of gas
Out on the open road, Craig MacKay said his scooter feels just like a flying carpet.
There's no vibration, there's barely any sound from the motor and the scooter just flies.
"It's a carefree feeling ... You hop on and all you hear is the wind in your ears, wind on your face. It's addictive and fun," he said.
"They weigh nothing, they hardly break down and they just go and go and go."
MacKay really loves his scooter. He used the word fun more than six times to describe it yesterday.
"It's for the fun of it. It's the F-U-N word," he said.
The 55-year-old only got interested in scooters when he won one in a draw at a motorcycle show in Toronto two years ago.
Now he's hooked and wants everyone to know about it.

UK Scooter sales surge
Sales of cheap new scooters have increased dramatically during the first two months of 2008 and look set to rise further as fuel prices and car tax escalate following the Budget.
Statistics released by the Motor Cycle Industry Association show that the budget-priced Peugeot V-Clic is the best selling 50cc scooter this year and 30% of the Top Ten motorcycles registered in 2008 are sub-£1,000 50cc scooters. Last year the figure was 20%.
With petrol currently selling at nearly £1.10 per litre and motorists facing tax increases of around five pence per litre in just six months time, a scooter like the Peugeot V-Clic that is capable of returning 80mpg makes financial sense.

Scooter Helps Beat The High Cost Of Gas
AVON PARK — As gas prices go up, the type of vehicle driven by Dana Anthony, of Avon Park, shrunk. With the price of unleaded gasoline at more than $3 per gallon, Anthony keeps his Lincoln Continental parked, in favor of his 250 cc Honda Helix scooter.
The scooter gets 55 miles to a gallon of high test, while the Lincoln burns a gallon of gas for every 18 miles driven.
The 72-year-old's scooter was purchased used five years ago for $1,000. Similar new scooters sell for about $7,000.
The Honda differs from a typical motorcycle because of the balance needed, while the speed is less and a scooter is much quieter, said Anthony.
The former Harley-Davidson biker can motor his scooter at 55 mph, and said it is perfect for most trips around town, usually less than 15 miles each way.
The retired international airline first mate said he is unable to afford to buy gas on a senior's fixed income.
"Life used to be a gas, now it's all about gas," said Anthony. "Let's face it, the quality of life has diminished because of high fuel and food prices and everything in general, and it's continuing to diminish.

Mickey Rourke, Loud But Not Drunk on a Scooter
Mickey Rourke has been speaking out about the night he was arrested for driving under the influence in South Beach in 2007.
Rourke was pulled over by Miami Beach police officer Peter Socarras in November after the officer reportedly spotted him weaving all over the road on his Vespa scooter.
Rourke was initially booked for driving under the influence, but authorities later acknowledged that the breathalyzer test was inaccurate. They then tested him on a second machine which showed Rourke was just under the legal limit.
But Rourke is speaking out about the way the Socarras treated him at the time of the arrest saying, ""I'm friends with most cops in the city and they told me the guy who got me isn't even liked by his colleagues. He's a 400-pound f**k unfit for duty.
"I said to him: 'F**k you, I'm not drunk.' I guess he didn't like that. They started on me at the station with the pencil in front of my eyes. Then they gave me the breath thing, like, seven times. And it always came out under the limit. I had two drinks hours before they stopped me."
The DUI charge is expected to be officially dropped by the Miami Beach District Attorney.

Rise in petrol price fuels rush for cheaper transport
AS RISING interest rates and fuel prices really bite into consumer pockets, a new wave of scooter commuters is emerging in East London.
Over the past two months, one new business venture has put about 100 scooters onto the city’s roads, while another motorcycle shop yesterday reported rising sales interest.
Environmental consultant Leon Liebenberg, who bought a scooter three weeks ago, said his purchase made economic sense.
“The whole cost of repayment on my scooter is less than half of my car’s monthly petrol amount,” he said, adding that his purchase was a result of the rising petrol prices.
While his Ford Ikon 1.6 is gathering dust, Liebenberg is using the scooter to travel to work in Vincent and to gym. He even made a long distance trip along Buffalo Pass.
“So far I have done 350 kilometres with the scooter and I’ve only put in R50 petrol,” he said.

South African scooter sales soar as fuel price rises bite
Recent fuel price rises have negatively affected business and consumers but the motorcycle industry has seen sales soar by close to 30 percent.
Vuka Scuta marketing and corporate manager Kevin Ferreira said sales had been "phenomenal" for the past two to three months.
"Two years ago we sold about 20 units a month." he said. "Now we expect to sell about 1000 units nationally by the end of March."
Ferreira attributed this to tougher economic conditions such as higher interest rates and fuel costs.
"More people are leaving their cars at home and commuting by scooter, some saving R2000 a month on fuel alone," he said.

Traffic laws vary for scooters, mopeds
The death of a Wilmington man who crashed his motor scooter into the back of a truck on Shipyard Boulevard this week has police reminding people of the differences between motorcycles and mopeds.
It's a difference that, if ignored, could mean a slew of tickets for an unlicensed driver caught on scooter that legally qualifies as a motorcycle, said Sgt. Carl Strawn of the Wilmington Police Department's traffic unit.
"It just depends on the model - some could be bigger than what the state would call a moped," Strawn said.
Days after Monday's fatal crash, police are still figuring out whether the wrecked motor scooter is, legally speaking, a moped or motorcycle. The difference matters because state law treats the two differently.

2008 Vespa S Announced by Piaggio Group
NEW YORK -- Italian manufacturer Piaggio, renowned for revolutionary ideas in personal transportation, announces the debut of the 2008 Vespa S, a retro-forward 150cc interpretation of the iconic "Vespino" scooters that dominated the European street scene in the '60s and '70s.
Combining advanced technology and iconic styling, the new Vespa S embraces the rebellious spirit that inspired an entire generation to change the world.
With its pure, minimalist lines, sporty performance, inconspicuous carbon footprint and creative customization options, the Vespa S is now ready to empower a whole new generation of riders to challenge the conventions of our time.
Vespa Heritage: Designed to Change the World
When Italian manufacturer Piaggio introduced its first Vespa scooters in the post-war 1940s, they were born of functional necessity: personal mobility for the masses in a changing era. Though designed to be simple, sturdy and economical, the sense of Italian style was never an afterthought. The Vespa's aircraft-inspired unibody frame, with its clean, efficient lines, stylish contours and revolutionary features set a design benchmark that introduced comfort and elegance to the sensibility of personal transport.
Prominently featured in the 1952 film Roman Holiday, the Vespa began to play a role in popular culture and became an international phenomenon. Beloved by bohemians, artists and actors, Vespa also remained a populist icon, a testament to its charm. In the 50s, European Vespa clubs numbered in the tens of thousands, while American screen icons John Wayne and Marlon Brando took to the streets on Vespas between takes. British mods, celebrated in such films as Alfie and Quadrophenia, rallied around Vespa a decade later.
During the 60s and 70s, the Vespa Special and Primavera models became symbols for the revolutionary ideas of the time. As the protest movement raged, Hollywood stars such as Steve McQueen and Dennis Hopper chose Vespas for their personal style statements and innovative advertisements and style refinements kept the Vespa ahead of the cultural curve during the 70s. Today, the Vespa S continues the company's unique ability to capture its rebellious spirit in one technically advanced package.
Trademark Styling, Advanced Engineering
The spirit and soul of the 2008 Vespa S is in the authentic details. Classic Vespa trademarks such as chrome trim, the minimalist front shield, the unique rectangular headlight first seen in the 50 Special, the rounded rear light and a 70s-inspired single-seat saddle with contrasting piping all pay homage to the Vespa S' legendary predecessors.
The Vespa's structural integrity is just as innovative as its design. The Vespa's high-strength steel body acts as the scooter's structural frame, a design solution unique in the world of scooter production. In addition to superior strength, the frame is exceptionally rigid, resulting in excellent road holding and precision control. The scooter's low center of gravity also makes riding it supremely simple.
Equipped with an advanced front disc/rear drum brake system, the Vespa S offers confident stopping power. The 11" front and 10" rear wheels with light alloy rims add to the Vespa S' excellent stability, and a 150cc single- cylinder, four-stroke engine delivers sporty acceleration. Located inside the body, the 2.3 gallon fuel tank allows easy access to the engine and maximizes the size of the under-seat storage compartment.
Sporty and agile performance combined with low emissions and high fuel economy reflect Vespa's commitment to safety, reliability and environmental respect. Like all Vespa scooters, the clean-running Vespa S sips fuel while delivering miles of riding thrills - over 90 miles for every gallon of gas. And, with a top speed of 59 miles per hour, the four-stroke Vespa S is ready to get you to your next protest march, reunion tour - or the office - in record time.
Make Your Vespa Your Canvas
Vespa has always been synonymous with freedom of expression, and the Vespa S invites buyers to show their creative side with six new optional graphic kits. Easily applied at the dealership, each decal collection celebrates an element of Vespa's heritage and personality. For example, buyers can show their passion for la dolce vitae with stylized Italian flag decals or rock on with a very "Mod" United Kingdom flag theme. A Sixties-style flower motif and a retro rally theme complete the collection.
Additional accessories for the Vespa S include a matching body-color 8 1/2 gallon top box, a chrome-plated tilting rear luggage rack and a European-style half-helmet.
The 2008 Vespa S has a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $4099. Available colors include Dragon Red, Shiny Black and Optic White. For more information on the Vespa S visit www.vespausa.com.
About The Piaggio Group:
With over 6,700 employees, an annual production of more than 680,000 vehicles in 2006, 5 R&D centers, 7 production facilities in Europe and Asia, and operations in over 50 countries, the Piaggio Group has a consolidated leadership in the European 2 wheeler market. Its production includes scooters, motorcycles and mopeds in the 50cc to 1,200 cc displacement range, marketed under the Piaggio, Vespa, Gilera, Derbi, Aprilia, Scarabeo and Moto Guzzi brands.

Vuka launches new scooter models
The Vuka revolution continues to gain momentum with four new models being introduced to their funky product range this month. These local developers, importers and manufacturers of scooters and road bikes are on a quest for personal mobility, which is set to change the lives of the majority of the larger South African commuter community by providing an affordable, reliable transport solution.
According to managing director Tinus Lamprecht, the company is confident that the South African public is more than ready for this transport alternative. “Rocketing fuel prices, high interest rates, the cost of public transport and problems with accessibility as well as the increasing traffic congestion on our roads are all factors that have a direct impact on the daily lives of millions of South Africans. Countries in the Far and Middle East as well as South America have faced the same problems and addressed them by getting a large percentage of their population to use two wheelers as commuter transport,” mentions Lamprecht.

With Electric Scooter, MIT Hopes To Rev Up Practical Transport
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — It’s a humble home for what might be the future of urban transportation. Locked in an office here at MIT’s Media Lab is the latest prototype of the RoboScooter, delivered just one month ago from Taiwan. Outside this room, the Media Lab is almost too eccentric for words: an open space lined with offices, teeming with art and an explosion of plant life.
It’s the exact opposite of this austere little space, where the scooter’s detached seat is sitting on the floor and wires snake from the cavity where the removable battery pack should be. The rear wheel is clamped in place, and under the fluorescent lights, in these cramped quarters, the RoboScooter looks like a hospital patient. Its immediate prognosis is still up in the air, but here’s the good news: Whatever it eventually looks like, and whatever it actually does, this vehicle is going to make it.
And then, there’s the inevitable bad news: The first-gen RoboScooter will not be very robotic. The original concept developed by the Media Lab’s Smart Cities research group called for wheels that were essentially self-contained robots, with dedicated processors that could optimize braking and suspension. In a four-wheel configuration, these wheeled bots would also control steering. The group’s City Car design, for example, allows each wheel to turn independently. For a scooter, computer-controlled steering isn’t necessarily more efficient than old-fashioned handlebars. But for now, the point is moot, because the first RoboScooters to hit the streets won’t have wheels any more intelligent than a Vespa’s.

Full speed ahead for clean electric bicycles
While the B.C. Liberals’ 2008 “carbon crackdown” budget, which came out last week, didn’t make everyone happy, fans of battery-propelled transport will like it. Among other things, it proposes that electric-powered tricycles and bicycles be exempt from the seven-percent provincial sales tax, and buyers of electric-powered scooters and motorcycles will be able to claim up to 50 percent off the PST—for at least the next three years.
“We’ve been lobbying for this,” says Steve Miloshev, president of Greenwit Technologies. “It means at least, what, $150 off the price of a new scooter.…That can only make it easier for people to buy one.”
Miloshev is convinced that clean, emissions-free transportation is the wave of the future, and he has the improved sales numbers to prove it. From near bankruptcy several years ago, his Vancouver-based company has gone on to sell almost 1,000 units in Canada, with dealers in B.C. and Ontario selling Motorino products out of his E-Ride franchises. His company is now the largest distributor of electric bicycles and scooters in Canada.
“It costs approximately eight cents per 100 kilometres to operate one of our scooters,” he says, “and the quality of the bikes is now better than it was just a couple of years ago. They’re more reliable and more powerful.” About 60 percent of his customers are female, and increasing numbers of people are perceiving electric scooters not as recreational transport but as legitimate commuter vehicles, Miloshev says.

Smart to pitch scooterists?
THEY'RE sold as the answer to city congestion, but when you see one it's usually trying to sell something to you.
The tiny Smart car has become a mobile advertising hoarding, with its upright sides perfect for displaying a logo.
In the decade since it first appeared in Europe nearly 800,000 have found homes, but the wide brown land has never taken to them. Launched in 2003, Smart was well-placed to benefit from panic over petrol prices, but didn't. Fewer than 2000 are on our roads with about half, apparently, bought by small city businesses.
Mercedes, which owns Smart, would like to avoid that association with the new model, which has just arrived. It would prefer people to think of Smart as a trendy alternative to a scooter.
The new generation is a lot bigger, has a bigger engine and is better all round. On a drive through Sydney recently, the automated five-speed manual transmission felt much improved, and the cabin is more appealing. The three-cylinder engine, which has grown to 1.0-litre and 52kW, now propels the car convincingly. There's even a 62kW turbocharged version.

Gas Saver Or Major Polluter?
A Sacramento man parked his gas-guzzling truck for a fuel sipping scooter to make his local runs to the store and the doctor.
And he was stunned when the state demanded he return the license plate and registration!
Randy Bearup thought he'd found the perfect wheels for his neighborhood trips to the grocery and the pharmacy.
But then the state of California informed him his little bike is not only illegal; it could be much worse for the air than his truck, and part of a much bigger problem!
Randy Bearup has owned a number of motorcycles in his life.
"I've had Harley-Davidson's, I've had Hondas, I've had Yamahas, BSA, ya know."
But when he saw a little scooter on a visit to the grocery store, he says he had to have one.
"I thought it was kinda cute!"
Randy found this Chinese-made Ricardo 150 at a dealer less than two-miles from his home.
