  • @InvidiousIgnoramus
    @InvidiousIgnoramus Před 4 lety +7

    After seeing Mustie pick one of these up, I've gotten a little curious about the folded state. Is the intention to carry it folded by the strap, or are you intended to leave the rear wheel down and sort of "roll" it to its destination?

    • @themotochannel

      The rear wheel folds into the box and you carry it by the strap like a suitcase. Great question!

    Where did you find this thing? I only have a vague recall of this scooter being advertised. Years ago I used to own a Cessna 175. Yeah, there was such a model. With the rear seat removed, this scooter would be great to carry around. I usually carried two 10 speed bikes, with the front wheels removed, and camp gear in the back and with quick release doors to get all the gear inside.

    • @forevercomputing
      @forevercomputing Před 4 lety

      It doesn't matter what you have. People will always want to overtake you. This is true on bicycle and you think you're going fast?
      A scooter, where people think you're on a slower moped. But less overtakes when you do the same speed limit on the same road on a motorcycle.
      In a car, a van, a minibus, a 36ft bus, 30ft bus.
      If you go on the roads and no-one overtakes you, maybe you're on private property and shouldn't be there in the first place.
