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.

 Kymco
Like 200i Review
August, 2010
Fuel injection for scooters rules! Kymco recently introduced the
Like 200i with a 163cc fuel injected engine. It starts easily, runs
smoothly and accelerates quickly. Of course here in Minnesota we're
thrilled to NOT have to drain a carburetor for winter storage of our
scooters... Click on the image or HERE
to read the review.
 At
Last! Protective Apparel for Women that Looks Good
August, 2010
The intrepid Jordana adds another review to JustGottaScoot. This
time it's the Trench Jacket from GoGo Gear. Designed to be both
fashionable and protective, GoGo Gear is rapidly gaining a huge
following. Jordana tried out the Trench Jacket.
 Jordana
Reviews an HCI - 15 Helmet
August, 2010
Am I getting lazy? Do I think you're sick of hearing my opinions?
Hmmm, probably a little of both. Jordana has been kind (foolish)
enough to continue helping out with product and scooter reviews. She
is an excellent writer and her opinions are always interesting. This
time she tries out an HCI - 15 copter-style helmet.
The
NEW Fly Scout is Here!
 It's
not on the way, it's not expected soon, it's here. The much
anticipated Scout from Fly Scooters is at dealers. Marty from
GoMoto just let us know that he has them in
stock today. Of course we have one on order and will be doing a
long-term review of this machine.
 Jordana
Whyte is currently riding the Fly Scout and will be writing a
review. Jordana rides a Genuine Buddy St. Tropez
and has been kind enough to help out rather a lot here at JustGottaScoot.
She reviewed the GoGo Gear jacket and interviewed Arlene Battishill of
GoGo Gear for our podcasts. I'm sure her perspective on the Scout will be
very interesting.

Thinking About a
Low-End Chinese Scooter?
While there are certainly some decent 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.
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.
