@Blue Mark ‘Now the question is – can it be carried on the back of a Blur?’

So, take it a step further and make it part of the Blur…you ride right up to the back side of your Blur, grab the handlebars and take off.

Honestly, this would be ideal for me. Since recovering from an accident I can walk, but I am severely limited in the amount the time I can spend on my feet. I hate wheelchairs (mainly because I worked so hard to get out of one), and ‘mobility scooters’ are far from ideal. The UNI-Cub reminds me of an indoor version of the YikeBike. Unlike the Yike, it’s footprint is hardly more than a walking person’s would be, making it pedestrian friendly.

Now the question is – can it be carried on the back of a Blur?

I’d totally buy it if Lisa Marr were the spokeswomen.

Surely psychoactive compounds are implicated.

Comment on The disappointing new “new Lambretta” by imabirdmom

I purchased 2 of these scooters last summer. One has only about 400 miles on it. The other has been ridden a ton and has 2600 miles on it. At 300 miles we took it in for it’s 1st service and it had a dry seal. A month later it went in and had to have a new blinker flasher put in. It was serviced at 600 and again at 1800 miles. I was riding it at 45 mph a couple weeks ago and died. Back to the shop. Had to pull the whole engine apart. My 4 stroke bike has a 2 stroke head!!! You read that right. That is how they are ALL made according to Sonny Khurana. Bike ran fine when the timing chain was new and super tight but 2000+ miles later the timing chain stretches and BANG piston starts hitting until it finally bent. Sonny talked to my mechanic and told him we must have reved it to high. 45mpg on a straight road with 145lb person on the bike was TOO much for this bike that is suppose to do 65mpg + according to the website.

That’s the correct link for event scheduling and ticketing. Don’t know what’s up with the link in the above.

Teaser, we’re bringing a different chinese bike to be burned each night!

And we’re mounting knobbies on our super-secret project scooter.

Ha! The Arsenal one is cooler because it didn’t give me a seizure after looking at the graphics.

Comment on “What Goes Through A Biker’s Head” by illnoise

The great newish blog Scootsafely recently issued a far more polite message to drivers, and I’d love to hear from them (and readers) about a list of what really SHOULD be going through your head in an impending accident.
