A Monster of a Ben10 Scooter!

Advantages: Smart looking scooter. Sturdy and well made. My son loves his!
Disadvantages: Secret fold out drawer and little alien figures are a little bit of a gimmick

...My six year old son is obsessed by the Ben 10 cartoon series, currently showing on the Cartoon Network TV channel. The programme itself features a boy (Ben) who can transform himself into alien super-heroes by using his omnitrix (a sort of watch) and defeats villians using his special powers. As with any successful children's programme, there is an abundance of spin-off products available designed to part parents from their cash - little figures (got them), DVDs (got them) and now even a scooter emblazoned with Ben 10 images. As far as tv programme merchandise goes, this scooter is actually of surprisingly good quality and, to be fair, not badly priced. We did some price comparisons before buying this for our son's birthday last September and found the cheapest stockist then to be Argos (at £34.99 compared to the RRP of £39.99.) Yes...

SCOOTERS

Advantages: Quick through traffic
Disadvantages: small

...Scooters are getting used more and more these days because of the ease, the cost and the fuel use. You can weave through traffic with ease and scoot around on 130mpg! You can buy a good quality scooter for about £600 and the makes I would personally recommend are Benelli, Aprilla and Suzuki. You can ride a 50cc scooter at age 16 and a 125cc at age 17. If you are interested and would like to have a browse at some scooters on offer, then I personally recommend www.autotrader.co.uk. They have a wide range on offer and you can also sell your scooter too....

Micro Skate Scooter

Advantages: Fun, fast urban travel, lightweight, durable
Disadvantages: Expensive, wheels need replacing regularly

...Ok, ok, Micro Skate Scooters, so you’ve all been there and done that have you... well now it is the renaissance! I was one of the first people in the UK to have a micro scooter. I picked one up in Switzerland back in October 1999. When I came home to skate the streets of Portsmouth all I received were boggy looks, catcalls and turning heads! “What the Dickens is that contraption?” This was the general greeting I received from all and sundry. Of course, this had its variations, guys at the skate park preferred to shout, “Yo dude, what a totally awesome pair of wheels!” I loved the attention, but by April 2000, Woolworth’s and other stores had started to produce their own variations of the now infamous micro scooters. Now they were more common than rollerblades on the streets of Britain and I became...

Review of Freestyle Scooter (PS2)

Scooter/Moped/Vespa

Advantages: 70 MPG
Disadvantages: It is dangerous due to the fact of size and light weight.

...In the old days the most popular scooter named VESPA or Lambretta. These scooters are made in Italy and if they are well maintened they could last for ever. In our days they are several scooters made in China which they are like toys and lasts for real short time.. What is a scooter? it's the transition between a Motorcycle and a lighter street legal which is less than 50 CC, required no license or insurance . They are per say street legal, cannot be driven in highways and their speed will not aceed 35 to 40 miles . Scooter is light and the most could weight is about 120 lbs or 65 Kilo. The old days scooters must mix fuel with oil and they had special section in all gas stations which they do the mix for scooter owners.

Malaguti yesterday scooter

Advantages: Grreat looks, Good handling, Very reliable, good throttle response.
Disadvantages: a bit small for me 6foot 1, small amount of storage space.

...Well i have had the malagut yesterday 50cc scooter for about 3 months now, and it was a very wise investment. i had a new job and i needed a cheap and efficient way to travel to and from work, and as soon as i walked in my loca dealers store i was sold, the looks of this are amazing, nothing on this looks cheap at all like some other scooters, this is quality through and through, i put my deposit down and took it for its firs voyage. It pulled away very well, even with a rider of my weight on it (14 stone) and the handling is very good, the stylish whitewall tyres grip the road very well, so there are no scary moments, it does not make that horrid bee in a biscuit tin sound that most scooters make, this is more of a purr, it sounds beautiful, the suspension is nice and plush so it absorbs all the road has to throw at you, my only issues...

Review of Malaguti Yesterday 50cc Scooter

Malaguti Yesterday 50cc Scooter!!

Advantages: Cheap to run
Disadvantages: Cold in winter

...I have never had a scooter or bike before, so decided to invest in a Malaguti Yesterday in maroon. It's a 49.2cc (so just under 50cc really) single cylinder 2 stroke engine. It has got both electric and kick start, and I find it extremely reliable. It doesn't like electric starts when it is freezing, but you can't fault that. Starts first kick most morning, no problem. It has tubeless tyres, front and rear brakes, and front and rear suspension. It has a 2 gallon (9 litres) fuel tank located just behind the seat. I usually put about 3/4 quid a week and that lasts me all week. It isn't at all expensive to run. I buy the 2 stroke oil about once every 6 weeks, and thats only a couple of quid a bottle, so it's not breaking the bank. There is helmet storage area underneath the seat, and it is a large comfy seat unlike...

Don't Scoot On By

Advantages: Very desriptive and emotional writing
Disadvantages: Some of his character names

...There are some places you don't expect to find someone with great novel writing talents. Actors, models, politicians and presenters have tried writing with varying levels of quality and success. Perhaps the most unlikely and possibly the best of them all is Mick Foley, a man who spent a long career as a WWE wrestler, which involved being hit around the head rather a lot. Despite this, or maybe because of this, he has subsequently become a very decent writer and "Scooter" is his second novel. Scooter Reilly is a young child in 1960s New York, inheriting his unfortunate name from the former Yankees player Phil "Scooter" Rizzuto. It's a time of historical change for the country and a major change in the Bronx where Scooter and his family live. It's a time of great change for Scooter himself, as when he is four his grandfather has a nasty...

Review of Scooter - Mick Foley

The Beer Scooter

Advantages: Its helpful
Disadvantages: I don't know where it is kept

.... How many times have you woken up in the morning after a hard night of drinking and thought 'How did I get home?' As hard as you try, you cannot piece together your return journey from the bar to your home. This explains it.......... The answer to this puzzle is that you used a beer scooter. The beer scooter is a mythical form of transport, owned and leased out to the drunk by Bacchus the Roman god of wine. Bacchus has branched out since the decrease in the worship of the Roman pantheon and bought a large batch of these magical devices. The beer scooter works in the following fashion: The passenger reaches a certain level of drunkenness and the "slurring gland" begins to give off a pheromone. Bacchus or one of his many sub-contractors detects the pheromone and sends down a winged beer scooter. The scooter scoops...

Review of Everything that starts with B ...

Slow steads.

Advantages: Good range
Disadvantages: Poor service

...This is a small family owned business in Romford, Essex. It specialises in selling scooters but also sells Royal Enfield motorcycles and may still sell Moto Guzzi's too. I bought my Royal Enfield from there in 2003 and the purchase went well. But when i took the bike there for service they would make me wait for around a week until it was ready without providing me with a courtesy bike. It was the same when i took it for a puncture repair. I always had to contact them to find out what was happening or when it would be ready even they kept saying they would phone me. I have since replaced the Enfield with a Triumph Trophy. The shop also sells spares, clothing and accessories and is fairly well stocked and things are reasonably priced. I wouldnt use them again due to the reasons I have mentioned....
