• Speaking of Suzuki... WOW! The SD-01 and SD-02 (Now with alien technology)

  (breathe, breathe... deep slow breaths... think of something less exciting the 2008 Honda lineup ) Here's one that surprisingly slipped past the scoop-o-scope last month. Thankfully, Dudel's was working. At the 29th Annual Bangkok International... Posted May 16 2008, 05:40 AM by The Scooter Scoop! Filed under: Concept, Show, Suzuki, Thailand

• A little more Suzuki Gemma eye candy.

  No, sorry. No news on the eminent release of Suzuki's 2007 concept scooter, but we do have a few new images of their "lead sled" here thanks to the Tokyo Scooter Stuff guys (title link) and yasukun2 (for the YouTube video). I kinda dig it... Posted Mar 01 2008, 08:08 AM by The Scooter Scoop! Filed under: Japan, Concept, Maxi, Suzuki

• ObiBoi designs a Hum-Dinger of a Scooter Utility Vehicle

  Bouncing around the webisphere, I made a stop by the old Dragon's place, when I found a post that said "A Hummer I'd actually own". Thinking to myself, "well, the Dragon is a scooter fan and a steam punk fan... so this is either... Posted Feb 04 2008, 01:56 PM by The Scooter Scoop! Filed under: Oddity, Honda, Concept, Hummer

• Our first "WTF?! Accessory" nomination - Burgers on the go!

  You've seen slicers and dicers and George Foreman grills... but have you ever seen something that combines the fat-free, grilling goodness of the Foremen with the fun of scootin' around town? Introducing The Exhaust Burger! The cool thing about... Posted Jan 28 2008, 12:36 PM by The Scooter Scoop! Filed under: WTF, Funny, Concept, Accessories

• Adiva TO 400 - Commute scoot perfection?

  (Cyberscooter.it (title link) caught some things that few others noticed) Whew... It's been quite a long break, eh? Sorry about that, I've been working out a few things here at the home front... can't say what right now, but there's definitely... Posted Dec 12 2007, 02:42 PM by The Scooter Scoop!

• Rise of the electric - MIT / SYM / GM's electric origami

  Mr. Mystery scooper (as well as S.A., and even my wife) pointed out this bit from MIT. These are from their "Smart Cities" project. MIT's dream is that by 2020 you'll be able to rent one of these electric scooters (built by SYM?) on... Posted Dec 01 2007, 08:04 PM by The Scooter Scoop!

• Rise of the electric - iMobility LEV

  (Wow! Very spacy design. Looks like it was drawn up by Honda.) Again, my masked scooper pointed us toward some EICMA Milan 2007 coverage. This time from CyberScooter.it (title link), we see the iMobility Light Electric Vehicle. This fully enclosed, three... Posted Dec 01 2007, 07:14 PM by The Scooter Scoop!

• Rise of the electric - Mitka the electric oddity

  Vanenbrink is Dutch for "kickassed design" or at least "Out-there design"... don't believe me check out some of their other projects . Here's how they describe this little environmental oddity: Mitka: a New Mobility concept... Posted Dec 01 2007, 07:06 PM by The Scooter Scoop! Filed under: Concept, 3-Wheeler, Electric, Alternative

• Rise of the electric - Japan's wild EV-X7 and talks of a 2008 product release

  Our good friend Jo B. wanted to scoop us on some new developments from Japan's Axle Group. You may remember their electric / magnetic hybrid scooter (above) from back in the day . Looks like a sweeeet electric and I'd love to see it on the road... Posted Dec 01 2007, 06:56 PM by The Scooter Scoop! Filed under: Japan, Concept, w00t, Electric, Alternative, Hybrid

• Tokyo Auto Show - Lesser known exhibits

  Some company was showing off an exterior airbag system (as well as a laundry basket of dirty clothes in the background?). The idea is that pedestrians (scooterists?) that get smacked by a car will have a better chance of avoiding a trip to the ER. Also... Posted Nov 04 2007, 08:05 AM by The Scooter Scoop!

• Yamaha's long and low cruiser concept - Luxair

  (Thanks again to Skorji for the shot!) Not to be confused with Yamaha's 2004 Tokyo Boat Show special exhibition model BOAT called the Luxair, the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show's special exhibition model luxury model cruiser scooter is much cooler. I just... Posted Nov 03 2007, 02:23 PM by The Scooter Scoop! Filed under: Japan, Yamaha, Concept, Show, Maxi

• Yamaha Tesseract - Ouch, my brain!

  As complex as the fourth-dimensional hyper cube after which it is named (ask Carl Sagan ), the Yamaha Tesseract made quite a splash here in the 3rd dimension. What is it? A tall quadrunner? A 4-wheeled motorcycle? An MP4? I don't know how to classify... Posted Oct 30 2007, 04:58 AM by The Scooter Scoop! Filed under: Oddity, Motorcycle, Japan, Yamaha, Concept, Show

• Honda Puyo Concept - What Gummi Bears would drive if they had a license

  Microcar fans might like this little concept from Honda it's the Puyo. This car is built pedestrian friendly... it's actually soft to the touch! One of the main things you'll notice, besides looking like a cute, goofy, squarish marshmallow... Posted Oct 26 2007, 01:23 AM by The Scooter Scoop!

• Suzuki Skywave SS - Customized out of the box

  Maggie in Saint Louie was so excited about this one she beat me to the punch (thanks Maggie). This is another concept, the Suzuki Skywave SS. I could describe it, but it wouldn't be nearly as impactful (not a real word) as the words written by Suzuki's... Posted Oct 26 2007, 12:34 AM by The Scooter Scoop!

• Suzuki Biplane - Proves their design team still has some bite

  I'm not saying I'm particularly fond of her design and buttons in place of brake & clutch levers? Um, I'm definitely not ready for that (though my wrists probably are). This is one of a handful of show stealers from Suzuki. CycleNews.com... Posted Oct 25 2007, 12:45 PM by The Scooter Scoop! Filed under: Oddity, Motorcycle, Concept, Exclusive, Suzuki
