    OK, I dont care what they call it, this is a motorcycle

    And every time I hear the word "scrooser" I want to punch that fucking smug hipster douchebag in his stupid see through glasses.

    That said, however: this looks like a shit ton of fun to me.

    Looks like heaps of fun alright. Cant imagine them being allowed on the footpaths in NZ though.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    Whatever happened to the Kiwi version of that?

    5 years or so ago they seemed to be about to conquer to world, and I've heard not a jot since...

    I hate faked comparative advertising.

    They imply you don't look as dorky as someone on a bicycle - showing someone on a bike wearing a bike helmet - totally ignoring that a person on one of these scooter things ought to wear a helmet too. (Or that the guy on the bike might choose not to).

    And while they have a point on the sweaty thing; part of the point of the bicycle is the exercise.

    Apples with apples.



    (Are the batteries in the wheels?)
    Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.
