That black 150cc looks sooo-oo good!
"Sun in your face, wind in your hair ... 2x2"��
Think about it... Tow behind the camper or SUV ...possibilities are endless...

This is just fyi. Don't own one, never ridden one. Buy/ride at own risk.

I think I've seen these or something very similar at the OBX, running slow enough to hold up traffic for a good bit. Not sure if that was machine or operator.
Also it puts you REALLY low to the ground like your head at/near bumper heights, but unlike a motorcycle you're trapped.
I dunno.

And notice that's it's configured like the moribund "Elio" was going to be .... but with 1/4 of the features and a higher price!
Now THAT'S market reality .....

There's a similar 50cc version that's being used by some of the tourism operators here in Las Vegas to take visitors for runs through Red Rock Canyon and such. They get a line of 20 of these things taking up the bicycle path next to the road, and the cyclists (who are faster) can't even use something intended for non-motorized vehicles.
Even with a 150, they'd be too slow to be safe when two adults are on board.

I don't l now the HP of that 150, but my XL125 makes around 8 to 10 hp weighs in around 240lbs and I plan my riding more like a bicycle then my bigger bikes. When pulling out into traffic you just don't go and gun it, you look for a bigger hole in the traffic! Maybe a good little car for beach community's, much cooler then a golf cart.

The GY6 engine can be hopped up for more performance. Way better than the 50cc model. You'd be better off on a MP3. :thumb:

As long as you're at it why not go full Buck Rogers?

This is a converted MP3. :wink: Jay Leno has a video of the builder of 2 of these.

If the Scootcoupe had at least a 400cc motor and built somewhat like a Piaggio MP3...that would be KOOL !! :bow: Now getting to the drive train for maintenance might be a headache, unless the whole body just lifts up from the rear like a hood on a car.
