Ok, so this isn’t me but it’s a nice video anyway. Shows you what a scooter can do in the right hands. Maybe one day….
July 14, 2009 at 2:18 am #20585MunchParticipantI think the coolest thing about that machine for me is how the inside wheel can stuff itself up and the outter one drops in deep turns. Too cool.
July 14, 2009 at 5:53 pm #20611yugen852ParticipantThat is a cool scooter. I have never seen one like that on my country. I assume you don’t counter-steer as it has two front wheels.
July 15, 2009 at 7:25 am #20632EliasParticipantthat is pretty wild. Man he is practically scraping every turn! He seem to have very good control and understanding about the limits of that scoot. Come on eon, you gotta one-up that vid…go off some ramps!

At slow speeds (5mph) it is very easy to balance. So it is great for in town and as you can see, a lot of fun in the twisties. The guy in the video says he leaves his sport bike buddies for dead when it is wet. Having an extra wheel gives you 33% more grip so you can push harder in slippy conditions
July 15, 2009 at 7:35 am #20634eonParticipantLOL…after watching that it got me wondering how far I lean over. It feels like I lean over that far but I never scrape the center stand (the first thing that hits the ground) so I know I am not going as far as I can. I have a horrible feeling I would look like a wuss next to that guy.
