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.

Thinking About a
Low-End Chinese Scooter?
While there are certainly some good Chinese brands (CFMoto
and Fly come 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.
 How
Fast Is It?
Bob Hedstrom of Scooterville takes a bunch of
de-restricted 50cc scooters (mostly 2-strokes) out with a GPS
unit to see just how fast they are. The scooters were all
de-restricted, but otherwise unmodified.
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.
 MPG
Motors in Sellersville Pennsylvania recently held a clinic on
operation and maintenance. Pat Yearick, the owner of MPG Motors, put
together a very nice slideshow and audio presentation from the event
and his it posted on his website. Click on the image to the left to go
to the presentation.
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.
 Twin
Cities area scooter group featured on Summit Brewery's "The Social
Element"
In early November of 2007, the Heck's Angeles scooter group held a
ride that was video-taped but Summit Brewery for their "The Social
Element" website. The ride was a blast, with about 20 riders expected,
it was a thrill to have over 30 show up. The All Mod Cons scooter club
graciously offered to block for the ride. As Summit Brewery is a St.
Paul company, I was asked to lead the ride through St. Paul.

 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!
Check Out Our New "Brand" Pages
Oh yes, if I had my way this entire website
interface would be one giant database driven page. You'd just enter in
what you were looking for and the appropriate material would pop up.
Man.... I am SUCH a dorky Engineer. Click on the images
above to jump to our Genuine Scooter Company
, SYM , Fly
Scooters or CFMoto pages. I will be adding others in
the future to organize the presentation of our content based on brand.
The Evil Scooter Kitty Goes Mod!
 We
are bringing back the dark-coloured apparel in JustGottaScoot designs.
Some of you may remember that we tried this quite a while ago and the
quality just wasn't there. Recently, a new process was put in place
that promised much better quality. We tested some designs and ordered
shirts (my nephew got a great dark blue one.... free I might add,
sometimes it pays to have a weird Uncle) and they look very nice.
We have modified our designs to work on dark colours and have updated
the
JustGottaScoot shop.
"My Other Car is a Scooter" Bumper-Stickers Now Available
NEW in the JustGottaScoot online
store, bumper-stickers for your cage featuring many different scooter
designs and colours. Click on the image

Vespa LX & ET Inspired Designs
I suppose it was the release of the Vespa GT60
that got me up off my lazy backside and working on some new Vespa-inspired
designs. I started with a Just Gotta Scoot design inspired by the Vespa LX50,
LX150, ET2 & ET4 scooters and will work on some GT & GT60 stuff very soon.
