London has slowest traffic in Europe
Posted by Delrond in October 22nd 2007
One of the main reasons I switched to using my Vespa full time as my commuting vehicle was traffic! Now a report has shown that the average speed in London is 12mph! Now I am no expert but I am sure that you can do more than 12mpg in a Horse and Cart. It seems [...]
Old skool - Motor bikes
Posted by Delrond in October 19th 2007
Check out what one of my friends made : A motorised cycle!
“Hi, It started out as a Huffy Beach Cruiser that I bought at a Thrift Store for $15 and it kind of got out of control from there. The fuel tanks are old pump style fire extinguishers from the early 1900’s and has [...]

The news that the San Luis bomb disposal unit has purchased a Segway has [...]
One Wheeled Scooter rides again
Posted by Delrond in September 25th 2007
After looking at the Segway Alternative last friday it seems that these one wheeled scooters are starting to become really popular. The video is from Arizona in the United States. It was created by Chris Coleman a sculptor who was interested in creating what he called a “Self Balancing Skateboard” but I prefer the One [...]
Segway Alternative
Posted by Delrond in September 21st 2007
Some of my readers will remember the post I did recently about the Segway Scooter. Now I think i may have just found a much cooler alternative. Its been given the not so easily marketable name: “The one wheeled balancing scooter”
When I first heard about this I was unable to understand how it [...]
Worst Polluted Places on earth
Posted by Delrond in September 20th 2007
Vespa is using the pollution problem as a reason to buy and I firmly believee that choosing a scooter rather than a SUV is a step in the right direction. So in order to push this, I think we all need to see how bad a problem pollution is becoming. Blacksmith ( the environmental organization) [...]
