 I have never seen anything like that. Do you stand while riding ? And why do they have such small tires ? The suspension looks to be very limited, where would you ride this? The front tire does not look dune compatible.

You stand on 'em like a scooter.  They got around the dunes pretty good.

What a funny post this is.  These guys on their stand up scooters were camped next to us at Coral Pink one weekend.  If I remember correctly the red one had a 400ex quad motor in it and the white one definately had a CR500 motor.

These were hand made 100% custom.  They were on a trip back from the Bonneville Salt Flats testing grounds where they did 103MPH (2005) on the white one two times in a row setting a land speed record for the type of vehicle.  NUTS !!!   :-o

I looked up the records and it looks to be 99MPH (2004).  Check this article  http://www.inventionshow.com/17_inv_community/200409/02_extreme_scooter.asp

Another for 2006  http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Article_Page.aspx?ArticleID=3932&Page=1

The tires are standard quad rubber and the suspension was pretty good looking for them.  The white one was fast and kicked up a serious roost.  I think my back would end up killing me after about 30 minutes of riding those things since I would be hunched over with no cushy KX5 seat to sit on.

Definately a conversation piece.... Sly

So, this is a great little topic so I figured it was my civic duty to put together the video footage I have of the scooter(s).  This is all I had and didn't get a chance to film them out on the dunes.  When you see him head up between the fencing,  we call that the cut up to the dunes and it is usually 1-2 foot woops all the way up.

Here is the video without all the other stuff on the video from my website:  http://www.kxriders.com/coppermine/displayimage.php?album=85&pos=0

I use Pinnacle Systems Studio 9 with the Movie Box DV firewire.  I haven't needed to upgrade to Studio 10 since I like what I use now.  I have added some features to it through the website downloads.  You can add what you want, in sections, for a fee of course.  Love it.
