Anyone have one? Can anyone help a fellow Bueller out by selling me one CHEAP? I'm going to college out here in CA and I had to leave my bike at home in Virginia. Yes, that was very hard. But I need a go getter and something to get me to and from work and school. Work is only about 4 miles away, and I think a go ped, or a motorized scooter would be efficient. Plus, how cool would I be knee-draggin' a scoot? Any ideas? Any help? Believe me, after riding me 'Bolt, i really don't want to ride something I have to power myself.... So please please please help me? Thank you! | ||

Check your local regs for the legality of them, and check your school's regs as well, you might not be allowed to bring your go-ped into the classroom. But, really, if work is only 4 miles just get a bicycle, and if you want to knee drag then get a stunt bicycle, or find a local AlleyCat race and get up and personal with some of the fixie riders.   | ||

What Mikej said. Many campuses do not allow motorized vehicles on campus - though some do allow you to CARRY the go-ped into class (ask your prof about bringing it inside to park) My boss was getting donated Go-Ped scooters in his Reno Air Racing a few years back... I'll ping him to see if there are any "leftovers." | ||

Do NOT encourage me. I have a motor for one in the garage. I am in the long process of putting it on a Schwinn and doing a board tracker, it is on the list of things to do, after the Japapoolaza Scrambler, after XR Cafe built, and after the dirt squirter build. IF I can buy rather than build then I am back to tinkering on the Whizzer. (D.I.N.K.s may not rule the world, but does give you a full garage.) | ||

I got a note back from Jon - their GoPeds are USED up. Keep in mind, he's had them for almost 8 years!!! He said he was looking for replacements and kept going back to Ebay or Goped.com If you're going to use it on campus - you might consider an Electric. Goped makes one, Schwinn does also. I've ridden one of the Schwinns in the pits at Willow Springs - kinda cool. Admittedly the gas powered scooters are going to beat the electric on range and speed. | ||

If you really want a scooter, look at the electric ones. Most municipalities have outlawed the gas models. My advice is to get a cheap bicycle. Any scooter you get will go missing... I brought a Segway a couple years ago. Cool toy, but I couldn't leave it for a minute. Or for that matter ride it without everyone want to ask questions. I had to "donate" it to my Mother so she could ride it in her gated community. Here is great goped video | ||
