The E200 is one of Razor’s electric scooter series. Smaller than the E300 and the E500, the Razor E200 Electric Scooter is ridden standing up, whereas the E300 and E500 have seats. But the E200 is quite comfortable. The special full-size deck and frame can hold up to 220 lbs. It has adjustable handlebars so that riders of all sizes can position them correctly.

The Razor E200 Electric Scooter has a quiet, chain-driven motor, with the throttle located on the handlebar. It also has a hand operated rear brake. With pneumatic, 8 inch tires, the scooter’s maximum speed is 12 mph. The 8 hour charge time gives you 45 minutes of use. The scooter comes with two 12-volt batteries for convenience, a charger, and basic tools.

This eco-friendly scooter has good battery life, is well-built, and quiet. When you’re out of charge, however, the motor puts too much drag on the wheels to use it as a regular scooter. After a certain amount of use, you will need to tighten the chain. The instructions that come with the E200 tell you step by step how to tighten the chain, even though it is fairly obvious how to do it.

The E200 scooter has received favorable reviews, and it is used by riders of all ages. In fact, though it is targeted at older children, it is very popular with college students. The main drawback for college students is that there is no locking system, and no obvious anchor point for a chain lock.

The owner and rider of the Razor E200 Electric Scooter are responsible for obeying all regulations, whether local, state, or federal, for riding the scooter. Though the E200 is made for children 12 and older, adult supervision is required, and riders should wear a helmet, knee pads, and elbow pads.

You remember those old rock solid shiny red wagons with the metal handle that just lasted forever? Well, the brand name on those manufactured marvels was Radio Flyer. Those wagons were definitely more than just a child’s toy, they were rugged enough to do real work. In fact look in any upscale neighborhood and you’re bound to see one (or a knockoff) being used in the garden.

That’s why it’s comforting to see the label emblazoned on the front of you little girl’s first scooter.  Durability and years of use are what the Radio Flyer name is all about. That and a nice shiny enamel paint job, which in this case is pink.

You may remember the two-wheel scooter you’ve seen around. Well, for little ones it’s sometimes hard to balance on, so Radio Flyer looked into the issue and came up with a nice two front wheel design that helps stabilize the turning and pushing off. Not only that, but the kick plate is shaped to give a better path for the leg you push off with.

Another nice thing is the fact that it comes fully assembled and it folds flat for storage.  It ends up being the tiniest little thing. It would fit in even the smallest trunk so that one could easily be taken to a park.
Imagine a nice sunny day with a bunch of deep green trees set against the seemingly opaque blue sky, watching your little girl scoot about on the little cement paths. What could be more life affirming?  And that’s just what the pink Radio Flyer scooter is all about.  Its promise of durability and solid engineering helps kids be comfortable and safe as they challenge their childhood world and create those indelible memories. Radio Flyer’s been doing that for a long, long time.

The Razor E300 Electric Scooter is designed for people age 12 and over. It goes up to 15 mph and has extra wide 10 inch tires, with a hand-operated rear brake. In comparison, the E200 model has 8 inch tires, and goes 12 mph. To make it go, use the twist-grip throttle, which has variable speed acceleration. The quiet, chain driven motor will zip you there in style. One charge gives you 45 minutes of drive time. Charging time is 8 hours, and it comes with two 12-volt sealed lead acid batteries for convenience.

When you reach your destination, you can fold it up using its folding handlebar system. The E300 Electric Scooter is 41 inches long, 17 inches wide, and 42 inches tall and weighs 52 pounds.

The Razor E300 Electric Scooter requires some assembly, but it is reportedly easy to do. After one charge, you’ll get around 45 minutes driving time. The Razor E300 works best on relatively flat surfaces. Steep climbs will drain the motor faster. While the E300 is designed for riders 12 and over, it is quite popular among adults and college students. It is designed to carry up to 220 lbs, though some adults say that it slows considerably at weights lower than that.

The owner and riders of the Razor E300 Electric Scooter must ride responsibly, and need to know all the local, state, and federal laws pertaining to use of electric scooters. It should not be ridden by children under age 12, or by people who weigh over 220 lbs. Riders should check tire inflation periodically, and should always wear a helmet, knee pads, and wrist pads.

This may be the most adorable mode of transportation ever. The Razor Pocket Mod Miniature Euro Electric Scooter looks like one of those sleek little scooters everyone rides in Europe, only smaller, and cuter, if that is possible. It comes in a selection of gorgeous retro colors, too. This little vehicle can go at speeds up to 15 mph, has a padded seat, and a storage compartment underneath. The tires are 12-inch pneumatic tires, and you get a retractable kickstand.

With a quiet, chain-driven electric motor, and sleek retro styling, the “Pocket Mod” goes fast enough for fun, but not too fast. It has a rear suspension system, making the ride extra comfortable. The built-in battery goes for up to 10 miles on one charge. This is the kind of fun vehicle young girls squeal over, particularly those with a sharp eye for hot Italian scooter design. It has received raves in many magazines: Teen Vogue, Time, and Newsweek have given it a definite green light.

Charge time is approximately 8 hours for the 12 volt acid lead batteries (included). Designed for ages 13 and older, this scooter can hold up to 150 lbs. and has a 90 day warranty.

This scooter does require some assembly, but it is a simple task. The 12 inch tires are strong enough to cope with the occasional rock on the road or sidewalk. One of the many things kids (and parents) love about these is how quiet they are. They are almost silent.

Anyone owning or riding one of the Pocket Mod designs is responsible for knowing the rules of the road: local, state, and federal, and obeying them. A safety helmet (perhaps in the same sherbet shade as the scooter?) is an absolute necessity for safety. Wear your helmet for every ride. That way, the biggest risk you’ll take is starting a major trend.

In the fashion capital of the world, a real beauty was on show at the EICMA motorcycle expo. This Vespa GS was created out of carbon fibre and is really breathtaking.

According to sources, this carbon fibre Vespa will be limited to only 10 units! Somehow i don’t think i will be to afford it.

This carbon fibre Vespa was not the only carbon fibre bike on show as the Bimota DB7 Nerocarbonio was also unveiled at a price of $52,000!

Ok so your probably don’t expect a post on handheld vacuums at modvespa.com but bear with me. My Vespa will generally get a good clean every week but i find it really hard to clean the inside chamber and inside the seat. It got me thinking that maybe i could use the same handheld vacuum i use in the car on my vespa!

Amazingly when i used my handheld vacuum on my vespa, it cleaned it in half the time it normally took.

Ok, so this is not something that will change your life but it still saves me ten minutes when you could be out scootering!

I checked out a hand-held vacuum comparison site to find the best vacuum cleaner for my scooter.

At hand-held vacuum cleaners.com they believe that the Eureka 71B, Dyson DC16 are the top handheld vacuums on the market today. I went for the Dyson DC16 because we already had a dyson and it looked cool he he

As part of the latest marketing campaign for Vespa, Piaggio have launched a number of radio stations on the online radio station: Pandora.

You will be able too listen to the Vespa radio station at the start of June.

Part of  The "Vespanomics" campaign, its all about pushing the environmental benefits of Vespa ownership.

"Turns on a Dime, Runs on a Nickel"

"Smart Looks, Smarter Purchase."

If you register with the Pandora Vespa radio station then you will also get a chance to win a new Vespa S50. I think we also saw the possibility of getting a vintage Vespa t-shirt but i am not sure how you do it. 

The main stations are called:

“Vespa Mods and Rockers” – Which i can only assume will  have some decent mod mod music – I will  listening to this one.

“Vespaliscious”  and “Vespa Liberate” – Will wait for the stations to go live, to find out what they play on here.

“Vespa indie channels” – Obviously this will contain some decent indie music so another decent station.

When the music channel goes live, i think it would worth checking out to find out what Vespa related tunes they are playing.

You might have read recently about Valentino Rossi winning his 7th world grand prix but did you see his helmet?

The helmet was designed by  Aldo Drudi and has the shocked face of  Valentino Rossi looking out the top. I will keep you updated if any helmet manufacturer starts to offer this as an option.

If you are looking for more cool helmets then Oddee has 15 Creative Motorcycle Helmets for you to check out.

Piaggio has just confirmed that the Piaggio MP3 hybrid will be released in the United states in 2010.

According to sources, the new Piaggio MP3 Hybrid will have a  125ccc engine matched with a lithium battery. It’s expected that this combination will achieve the same performance as a 250cc machine. As shown with Auto hybrids, the fuel efficiency on the MP3 Hybrid will be around 140 mpg which compares favourable with the current 70mpg available using current petrol driven scooters.

Whilst i personally don’t find the Piaggio MP3 a particular attractive scooter, the move towards hybrid is a good sign.  Scooters are finally getting the mainstream recognition in the United States thanks to efficiency awareness. The Hybrid model will create a stark comparison with the gas guzzling SUV’s that infect our highways.

As with most hybrid technology, the MP3 Hybrid will not be cheap. This summer the  MP3 hybrid will be released in Europe with a  $10,000 price tag. 

We can expect to see the MP3 Hybrid at the start of 201o for the USA and in the next few months in mainland Europe.
