Re: Wanted: Low cost scooter <$500 (Scoopy?)
Might be able to deliver ... or do a day trip on Giant Ibis ... bus stop is walking distance to the shop. That's how I got mine here to Cambodia. Easy peasy. It's really a great buy. $1650 MSRP is USA.Kenr wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2023 7:23 pmSo you expect the OP to go to Vietnam to buy one?Fridaywithmateo wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2023 7:14 pmMight be a good alternative to a snoopy.

Fastest I had it was 55kmh (slight downhill) and range of 15km give or take. Charges full in 4 hours, built like a tank. Folds, so you can take it to the bar and get a heat on, fold it up and throw it in the back of a taxi. No miss, no fuss. I plan to buy a second for my wife next year when we visit Saigon.

How they can sell a bike of such quality for such a low price is beyond me. And it’s a real head-turner to boot.
Re: Wanted: Low cost scooter <$500 (Scoopy?)
LOL. That thing is only good for, well, nothing. Top speed is 30 kmh and is only good for a single rider. You would get killed trying to get in and out of one of the roundabouts here in Phnom Penh and it would be worthless to try and ride it at night. it's not even practical to drive on any of the major roads here.Fridaywithmateo wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2023 8:09 pmMight be able to deliver ... or do a day trip on Giant Ibis ... bus stop is walking distance to the shop.

You just found a time to plug your alleged score in 2020 while in Vietnam.

Re: Wanted: Low cost scooter <$500 (Scoopy?)
It’s a 500kw engine with the upgrade … no offense, but you are mistaken sir. Does fine with passenger … but not fat chicks. 250 lbs max load. I admit it might struggle in San Francisco … ya know a hilly city … but it’d be fine for zipping around PP. Honest.

Really?
My fast cars are only rated at 160kw and 210kw, respectively. And they’re pretty lively.
Have you got the units right?

It's quite obvious from the OP that they want to buy a Scoopy or something similar. Nobody wants to know about some weird tricycle someone bought in Vietnam.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Re: Wanted: Low cost scooter <$500 (Scoopy?)
Apparently you don’t even know what you own. It’s a 250w, not kw, battery, and the second battery is used to extend the range, not provide more power.Fridaywithmateo wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2023 8:34 pm It’s a 500kw engine with the upgrade … no offense, but you are mistaken sir.

You should probably read your owners manual, if you really even have this.
