Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks for watching. Enjoy your shiny scoot.

It’s a dumb name for what is essentially an electric vehicle reimbursement program. .5% of MSRP on any new vehicle sold in the state. Buy a Prius and get a rebate from the state? It came from this tax.

@@VespaPortland Amazing

Don’t know that model. Try it out.

Thanks for watching

Yeah, exclusively scooters. It’s the thing that most closely resembles the feeling I got while riding a BMX bike from back in the day. I’m too old to try to learn how to go fast on a track with a sport bike. Dirt bikes are cool but it means I need to load it up and drive somewhere to ride it. Never had an interest in larger bikes like Harley cruisers. Adventure bikes seem fun but most of my riding is in the city and I’m not realistically going to take off for a few days on a longer ride. Maybe someday. At this point I just want good gas milage and something that gets me to a burrito. 😆

@@VespaPortland Sincere thanks for that.

Like the brake lever goes up and down as if the whole thing is rotating on the bar? Need to remove the handlebar covers and tighten the whole unit (master cylinder) up. Good luck.

@@VespaPortland I want to be sure of your response. There is no problem at the point where the bar connects to the handlebar. The problem is that the round cylinder connection point at the top of the bar where I move the mirror is loose.

Vespas are made for riding to fun places. So we did.

@@VespaPortland you should do content like robot/scooter west

He’s a good friend of mine but there’s no reason to duplicate content on here. They do their thing, we do ours, and the broader internet Vespa community benefits.

It absolutely turns on when it says Welcome. At least here.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! Hard to say. We don’t take them out and no one has ever asked us to put one in. 😆

Any excuse to ride... and shop!

Agree!

Still somewhat unpleasant, but not as noticeable as on a two wheeled vehicle.

You’re welcome. We hope it finally makes this fact sink in!

You’re welcome! Congrats on getting that new scooter.

Thanks for watching.

But I live here tho. 😂

@@VespaPortland It's the superior format, take advantage of it.

Thanks for watching

Absolutely!

Nice! Way to ride! And thanks for watching.

Sup dude? Thanks for watching.

Gracias.

As little as possible! We’ve had three special orders so far this year and the owners were in such a hurry to take delivery that I didn’t have any time to do a video on those. They are cool bikes, but in a city like Portland, where most peoples commute is a mile or two, they are a little bit overkill for city use. If you’re going on the freeway a bunch or live further out they definitely have some advantages. Getting that one out of a crate is a big pain. It takes two people and a lot of hammering and prying to break that bike free. Thanks for watching.

I’m usually too busy crossing my fingers that someone with a forklift along the supply chain didn’t blast the absolute hell out of the crate and damage the bikes, but yes, they are pretty cool to unload! Especially when new colors come in and we get to see them for the first time. Thanks for watching.

With those Liberty scooters we’ve done all sorts of unloading tests with them and the fastest way is literally just to break the crate with your hands. It still has to go into a dumpster and you have to take the wood apart for that to fit anyway. I love hot weather, but it’s been in the low 60s here so for some reason 70s feels like 90. We need to get acclimated again.

Gotta keep them on their toes… 😂

GTV has a different dashboard than the GTS but generally the same function. No video yet but great idea for a future video we can do. Thanks!

@@VespaPortland so it WILL work the same? Cause a lot of people say it doesn't work.

What doesn’t work? Pretty much every tech styled Vespa has the same features. It’s just navigating to them that changes a touch. The GTV has a mode button as well and I believe it has the same left and right function to change different things on the dashboard. However, that scooter does not have traction control like the GTS does.

Try it.

Thanks for watching! It’s always such a fun weekend and Twist ‘n Play does so much work to put it together. All I had to do was film and edit it. I got the easy job.

That’s a good video idea. Thank you. We’ll think about making one of those.

Agreed! It's such a nice place to live.

Someone told me their odometer advanced 85 miles that day.

Palm Springs?! I’d love to come out for it.

Ciao! Thanks for watching! It was filmed entirely on iPhone.

Glad you liked it! What a fun weekend that went by too fast.

Keyless to start but key required to open the seat. So you still have to carry a key. A little weird, I agree.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching. It was a great weekend.

Thanks for checking it out!

Thanks for watching! What a weekend it was.

🍣 🍱

Should be the same. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the answer, I will tell you if this trick still working

Yes! It’s functional yet!! Thanks!

You’re welcome b!

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching.

It was an incredible time.

Thanks for that video idea. We’ll consider it in the future.

Have fun on those long rides! And the short ones.
