2 1/2mins of scooters in Paris
« 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?

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

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.
