I found this little guy on FB market place Friday. It looks like an overgrown Power Wheels, and it’s actually a 150 moped with 2 side by side seats, and an extra wheel.
I was actually beginning to consider buying it, but as you can see it already sold. My brother also found a video of one being test driven. The ad said they are limited to 55, and with a 150cc I’m sure it couldn’t do much more. Probably takes about 14 seconds to get up to that speed as well. But it seems like a fun way to buzz around town, especially if you have a kid you need to bring with you, like a 10 year old HFV Jr.
I just found some more pic from Scoot Coupe’s website. Also you can get better pricing by buying a fleet. The idea being that you’ll be able to rent them out. I suppose if you’re in a warm, touristy area that could be a fun business venture. I know I’d be keen to rent one if I was on a beach vacation.
The real surprise tho is he price tag. Nearly 8300 bucks! You could buy a lot of nice motorcycles for that. That more than the Elio was supposed to have cost...............

It would be a good for that. I’d imagine there’s plenty of places where non of the speed limits exceed 45

That’s a whole lotta NOPE! It’s basically a 150cc Chinese scooter with bucket seats. Your realistic top speed will be 45- 50 on flat ground and expect reliability problems galore. If you must get a dirt cheap trike, the Kandi Trike is a terrifying discount Can-Am that’ll at least do 60.

There’s a p lace here that rent something similar, if not the exact same model.

These are pretty common beach rentals. Th e place that I rented my scooter from also rents these out by the hour or by the day.

Welp, guess what’s stuck in my head now.
At least the description is more detailed than “you don’t know what I got”.
