    Hybrid scooter

    Check out the front suspension and the way this thing corners. Here are a couple links about it.

    I have always been a big fan of the 2 wheels up front, sometimes known as a tadpole design. It's a very stable design and handles much better than having 2 wheels in the back and only 1 up front. I'll bet the hybrid doesn't have the trunk space that their standard MP3 scooter has.

      Awesome Demo.

      I am quite surprised by the handling and speed.The technology is really cool.Not to mention it sounded cool too. I like that better than the Can AM Spydre.

        That thing is awesome.It seems real agile.I would think the opposite.And 500cc?Its more motorcycle than scooter.Swmbo might even try something like that.$900 though,thats a bite out of the wallet.

          Me thinks you lost a zero... Still would be a good one for someone of limited physical stature. Dive it very far and the savings in gas alone would start to offset the price of the bike. Bought a little moped when they were all the rage in the early 80's. Took 2000 miles and I had paid for the thing with the gas I hadn't bought for the cage.
