as soon as gas hit the $4 rip down here --last week,

i re-commissioned my decade old home-made scooter --an popped the aimor on it -- then the big 990 --

specs :
a billion MPG !!

all 12 volt with a little marine gel-cel battery-
does about 15-20 mph -- runs for several miles -
no pollution , no gas , no maintenance , no noise --the suspension is in the shafts and the tires -- very soft ride

its got many thousand miles on it -and all it ever needed is some air in the wheelbarrow tires
and a i2V re-charge --

pretty soon - there will be a new harley sound radio mounted on the front fork - or the handlebar --more pictures then

electric is the way to go -- seriously :::

I hope not! I'll have to engineer myself one of those but at 20mph that's a slow painful ride not to mention the charge time!

This pic was taken LAST week in my town. I'm sure it's higher now.

Don't pay attention to the date stamp on my camera pic. I swapped batteries and never changed the date. Sorry.

thafuzz - 2008-05-20 16:16

Just got an update Diesel is now $5.25, Reg. Unleaded there is $4.45...and so it goes...

redbenjoe - 2008-05-20 16:34

Thankfully I live in the South where we don't get blistered by the eco-nut prices in Cali.

Still high, but not as high.

Wheres your Banjo?

Hey, did you wire it up to power the box too? Or do you have that on its own batteries? It be cool to have it 'plug and play' ready!

Youve put a huge grin on my face my friend!

Now pass the Grits!

vladi123456 - 2008-05-20 18:11

Banjos may still be located in West Virginia, Kentucky and good part of Tennessee.

However...we'll be glad to serve grits, biscuits & gravy!

And yes we're even doing our part to conserve fuel...we hunt on bikes now!

oldskool69 - 2008-05-20 18:37

And of course you know when the President has come by Alabama and visited the Talladega Super Speedway!

That's hillarious OS but it can't be easy to do.

redbenjoe - 2008-05-20 19:25

moncheeto - 2008-05-23 02:55

no wheelies james

ira has done it with his woodie

notice he did not mention that the woodie is electric and hydrogen powered

oldskool69 - 2008-05-23 06:28

Yeah who cares about a steel frame bike! Those wooden ones are the BOMB! Everyone has a bike made from metal...but WOOD...and to quote the famous and missing Enskanker..."All wood is good..."

redbenjoe - 2008-05-23 08:22

right --

and who cares about member-made stuff --or clean-air electric vehicles --

lets see more videos of a gas eating -- taiwan honda

masterblaster84 - 2008-05-23 08:43

Yea, we were all talking about Ira's scooter.

vladi123456 - 2008-05-23 19:58

Wait - how did we switch from scooter talk to "Brokeback Mountain-2"?

oldskool69 - 2008-05-23 21:26

Must be a "Houston" thing!

vladi...better stay in Dallas...Ira, the "woodie" surely can't get any bigger...can it?!?!?

redbenjoe - 2008-05-23 21:40

yup -
-my wife and 4 out of my six girlfriends prefer bigger woodies --
so i made this one ::
all electric --mostly mahogany body on a 36 volt chassis -- even more pix to follow

vladi123456 - 2008-05-23 21:45

Ira, I've read somewhere that bigger woodies normally run on testosterone - not electricity

Oldskool - I know!! Funny thing is - I've been all over Texas - except for Houston - how weird - I guess I always knew somehow that there was a chance to bump into some *Real Fleshy*

redbenjoe - 2008-05-23 21:54

but alot less dignified
