Title: 2 1/2mins of scooters in Paris
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on March 30, 2019, 07:39:37 PM
Man, I could sit on a street corner in Paris with a coffee and watch the scooter traffic all afternoon!
Anyone know what the red one was the lady rode off on?

Wow, thanks Dean. Pretty sure you're right.
That 2nd video, in Amsterdam, is really cool!
Just looks like the perfect urban scooter - 3 wheels, maybe some ABS by now,  and 125cc's should be all you'd ever need in town.(saw a MP3 rider throw his on its side starting on a painted stop bar)
Like it much more than the hulking Piaggio.
Sadly, we'll never see it here in the States.
Thanks again!

my first encounter with Paris traffic---summer 1959, BMW R51/3---bike got so hot one carb slide stuck from over heating---no damage, once I got out of there, everything fine.   Having lived in Tokyo and Seoul only way around for me was bike or scooter.  Glad I no longer have to commute to get to work  Stuttgart was bad,too.
