Vespa for the geriatic crowd.

I'm sure I could tip that over and probably get a handlebar in my eyeball...

The Vextrix V3 does the 3 wheel thing and it's all electric;

# Top speed of 62 mph
# 35-55 mile range on a single charge
# Lithium Batteries
# 0-50 mph in 5.2 sec
# 475 lbs weight
# Zero emissions and virtually silent
# Plugs into any standard outlet
# Twist throttle for regenerative braking
# Slow speed reverse for easy maneuvering
# Low running cost (1 cent per mile)
# Minimal maintenance (no oil to change or filters to replace)
# Long battery life (up to 7 years or 30,000 miles)

Are you kidding? I would probably break my neck on one of those. When the time comes, THIS is more my style!

well yeah, when the lady Diane and I move to SunCity we are going to get a matching set of those (mine will be Porsche RED)

I forgot to keep my scooter batteries charged and they died. I have to buy new, expensive batteries.

The trouble with all those is ... where I live. There is a large street with fast traffic between my house and most shopping I want to do. I'd feel like a gnat among velociraptors just crossing that street in other than a car.
At one intersection I jogged across and still just made it before the red light.
(Fill in with osso rant against pedestrian unfriendly urban design).

Here's an old Vespa that looks comfy to me...

yeah, I had one of those in about '61.

That's a '64... there used to be a lot of them around Westwood in those days.

I'd tried to date this driver ...



... burt was found to be too young.

There have been races with Vespas, even sidecar Vespas and in winter

Lambretta...




Walter, I'd rather NOT be the sidecar rider in that picture..
