NEW - For Scooter, Motorcycle & Moped
Riders in the Minneapolis/ St. Paul Minnesota Area
Thanks For Stopping By
 OK, so you've pulled over, killed the engine, tugged off your helmet and
gloves, sat down at your computer, and that big grin is still on your
face. That's why we're here.
JustGottaScoot.com is dedicated to the fun of scootering. We think it's very
cool that something so practical and easy can be such a good time! The NEWS
section of this site has recent and upcoming happenings and is where we will
post website changes. The STUFF page will
take you to our store where you can purchase COOL
SCOOTER STUFF and will include links to places that we recommend. We ONLY
post links to vendors we have ACTUALLY USED and believe offer a
good value to their customers. In other words, no "paid
advertisements" here. BLAH (as in
blah, blah, blah) is the place to go if you are so into scooters that you
don't mind the blathering of a confirmed scooter loony (me) and will
include bios, stories, rides, pictures and other mindless ramblings. LINKS
is our page of "connections" to other sites. SEARCH
allows you to (you guessed it) search our site.
Thanks again for visiting, see you on the road.

 Can
a decent scooter come out of factory in mainland China? Yes. Marty
from GoMoto arranged for us to ride the new
CFMoto JetMax 250cc fuel-injected liquid-cooled scooter. A
mechanically impressive machine for the price, the JetMax is an
in-house design from CFMoto and NOT a clone of anything from Japan.

 The
website for the new SYM USA distributor,
Alliance
Powersports, is up and running. I've been told by Alliance that the
site is still a work in progress (aren't virtually ALL websites a work
in progress?), but there is a working dealer locator and info about
the currently available models.
 Vectrix
is back under new ownership after their 2009 bankruptcy. The big,
highway capable VX1 is back, in two versions, AND Vectrix has
introduced a smaller, city-street-speed scooter the VX2. It's this one
that we reviewed this time around. CLICK HERE
to read the review.
 Maybe
it's the impending arrival of another Minnesota winter (grey, cool
and rainy early this week), but seem to feel an urgent need to
ride and review scooters. Quick, gotta get another review done
before.... before.... what? This time it's a first year (2009)
Yamaha Zuma 125. Another fuel injected scooter and that's a good
thing. CLICK HERE to read the review.
 
Thinking About a
Low-End Chinese Scooter?
While there are certainly some decent Chinese brands (CFMoto
comes to mind), there are a
great many that are low-price, low-quality, and even
low-safety. Click on the image above to hear how a British
entrepreneur found out about the challenges of manufacturing in China.
Looking for a better way to
haul your stuff with you when you're on two wheels?
Check out Better Bags. They feature messenger bags and
backpacks designed and made by Banjo Brothers (well-known in the
pedal bicycle business). With outstanding function, great value
and rider-based features these are the bags you've been searching for.
My wife and I recently decided to get down to one
car. We have scooters (more than any sane person would have)
and just weren't using the second car very much. Getting our insurance
renewal probably had a lot to do with this decision. We are lucky to
live in a metro area with a very good public transit system and I ride
a scooter to work as often as I can in any event. Click on the image
above to open a spreadsheet to help you see if this might work out for
you.
Who Wants to be a Millionaire Review Game
Two-Wheels-And-A-Motor Website
Yes, another cool site devoted to scooters, motorcycles,
mopeds, just about anything with two wheels and a motor. Several Twin
Cities locals have gotten together and started with some podcasts to
spread the word: It doesn't matter WHAT you ride as long as you ride.
 We
often hear people talk about fuel savings making their scooter "free"
to own. Can it be true? Click on the graphic to open or download a
Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Fill in the light blue boxes and the
spreadsheet does the rest!
