WTF?! Scooter of the week – The Juelich Scooter

22. December 2005

I don’t have a lot of details on this thing that appears to be the bastard child of a motor scooter and a mobility scooter. I’ll give their engineers props (kudos) for exploring fuel cell technology in a scooter, but their designers just get a squinting, cringing, shake of the head as if to say […]

I’m sure you recall that strange 3-wheeled Piaggio prototype that was introduced recently… Well I’ve found out what it’s supposed to look like with its clothes on.

Check out this spacy lookin’ Roof helmet. If I had it, I’d scratch off the “ROOF” logo at the top and the Boxer V on the sides, then replace them with the Imperial Cog. It would be real cool to add a little mic & speaker in the mouth piece, so people can hear you […]
