If you don’t keep up with the UK scootering culture, you may not know about “the theme scooter”. We rarely see them here in the USA (luckily) but it’s been a favorite past-time of many Brits since the Mod Revival and gets a regular feature in Scootering Magazine. Most of the Motown and Northern Soul themes are lost on me but this one, scooped by “Q”, really spoke to me. Check out the Star Wars theme custom scooter captured in Leeds, England (source).

There is a terrific “Warriors” themed Lambretta in the NYC scooter scene. http://scoot.net/gallery/pic.html?pic=321576 and http://scoot.net/gallery/pic.html?pic=321577 and http://scoot.net/gallery/pic.html?pic=321578

Theme scooters are not my thing, but if it’s a Star Wars theme that’s whole other matter. Love the seat.

I love the creativity. It does make the USA seem boring/bland by comparison.

What?! Crap… Maybe I should have stuck with “Star Wars scooter FTW!” or “Star Wars Scooter, you win at life!” Oh man, my geek social skills are leaving me in my old age.

It doesn’t matter what you say, Steve, as long as Bedell has a month-long Burger King ad going at his place. ;)

“We don’t see them here in the US (luckily)?” Not cool. I think it would be great to see everyone cruising around with decked-out, theme scooters!

Hey Steve! Did you click on the “luckily” link? That’s about the best representation of a theme scoot in the USA… and it’s not a pretty sight.
