U slow, bro?    8)

Edit: I should add that I ride all four seasons and in some slushy situations you want tires that have a pattern that works well in distributing fluids and some work better than others. Hydroplaning is a ration between speed and weight and the ability of your tread to distribute excess water fast enough to tolerate your ratio.

I use an automotive cleaning sponge from Target in a bucket with dishsoap & water.

Wipe clean with an old tshirt but I've upgraded to linen cleaning cloths

At that price they're like $0.12 each.

To me a scooter has a small displacement and a single speed automatic (or cvt) transmission.

I was thinking that scooters are a subset of motorcycles, whereas bicycles and motorcycles are mutually exclusive.

I find the best quality rain tires are made of high quality materials from a reasonably reliable brand and have excessive groove patterning that connects to the center of the tread so there are maximum avenues for water to escape and thus prevent hydroplaning.

Overall my tire philosophy is "knobbier the better", within reason.

I have had great experience with Kenda as a value brand with good tread patterns.

Agility 50 / Re: Agility 50 headlight Bulb

H4 60Watt seems like far from standard in an Agility 50, so I doubt I would want to compare it to that.

No idea the lumens for these.

I think what I want is the "dual" high and low tone sound on a scooter. Anyone know if that's possible?

Can an Agility power both? Or will i need to do that 4-pin relay trick?

Same question for Agility models? I'm interested in a horn mod but want something that can fit where the OEM horn is mounted, not under the floor board... doesn't even need to be an "air horn" just an upgrade.

Any minor horn upgrades that folks recommend?

(small threadjack to try and make use of it)
