Created out of the front shield and other spare parts from classic Vespa scooters, these handmade leather chairs look great but also a unique way of recycling.  The design studio out of Spain, Bel & Bel, are the creators and the chairs come in many different colors.

This VW sidecar was built by Jason Dyer of Resto-Tec out of the UK, which makes sense since the side car is on the left side of the Lambretta scooter.  It was featured in July 2007 issue of Scootering magazine.

Well done Jason!

Scooters have exploded in major cities all over North America.  I remember seeing them long long ago and thinking “that’s adorable”.

Well no more! Scooters are the “new cool” for downtown workers.  I see business men and women jetting around on these things everyday and I can’t help but be a little envious (as I walk to the congested subway station). A downtown core can be your oyster with this handy and cheap form of transportation.

QLINK has just announced on Twitter (yes, we do pay attention to Twitter..) that their new Rave 50 and 150 scooters are now available.

I don’t know about you guys, but a motorcycle or scooter that is under 50cc around here doesn’t require a full motorcycle license.  That means anyone looking for a two wheeler to almost instantly jump on and go can grab this thing and be set.

And why QLINK?  I don’t know if you saw a post we did earlier, but they will deliver the thing right to your door if no QLINK dealer is near you!

Now, to convince my boss to order one for me and in exchange I’ll go out everyday on it and do a coffee run for him.

Check the rest of the article for more shots of the QLINK Rave 50.  Head over to QLINK’s website and have a gander at their Rave 150 as well.

Due to lack of investment interest, Vectrix looks like it will officially file for bankruptcy within the next 30 days and already have laid off all but essential staff.  The electric scooter manufacture based in Rhode Island, produced its first model the VX-1 back in 2007, it had a great range on a full charge but couldn’t shake the main criticism, which was the hefty price tag.

After getting a first hand look at the Vectrix superbike concept at the Dealer Expo last year, I was excited to get our hands on one for a review, check out some shots of it after the jump.

Aprilia just posted some new videos on YouTube for their 2009 Scarabeo scooters and damn, they are cheesy.  The most cheesy thing about them is the music.  The 80’s called…

The 3 minute video features several different kinds of Aprilia Scarabeo scooter and each one has its own “music” to accompany it.  Awesome!

Check the full article for the post.  Make sure you have your speakers cranked so people around you can enjoy.

Vespa has posted up 2 new videos promoting their 2009 Vespa LX 50 4T 4V, 2009 Vespa LX 150 and 2009 Vespa GTS 125 Super.

I don’t know about you but I feel like listening to my iPod when watching these videos.  The dancing silhouettes have been done before, Vespa…  Also, the dancing people work better for an advertisement of a music player then for a scooter, but I guess you are trying to show people how much fun Vespa scooters are.

And they do look like fun, especially whizzing around some European town.  But are they fun enough to dance too?

Hit the jump to see the video for the 2009 Vespa LX 50 4T 4V, LX 150 and the GTS 125 Super.  And for anyone who is interested, here is a review of a 2007 Vespa GTS 250ie.

The Honda SH150i has been a big seller in Europe for years and will finally be coming to the U.S. in May. Honda might be arriving a year late, missing the huge demand from last years gas spike and is a little pricey at $4,499 considering you can get a Kawasaki Ninja 250R for $500 less.

The scooter comes with a peppy and fuel efficient, liquid-cooled fuel-injected four-stroke 153cc single-cylinder engine riding on 16-inch wheels and also features the Combined Braking System (CBS).

The terms ‘high-performance’ and ‘scooter’ usually fit together about as well as pickles and peanut butter but Stuart Owen has customized his 1970 Lambretta to be among the fastest in the world. Owen, a former fish wholesaler who now runs a scooter customizing business, currently holds the fastest speed achieved by a Lambretta on British soil at 117.3 mph.

Hella flush approved. <-hells yeah. This modded Ruckus is maxed-out with after market parts and about a thousand-times more sweetness than the stock version. Does anyone have video of a customized ruckus in action? More pics after the jump.
