Rad Hover Scooter Design Leaves Scooter Haters in the Dust

Have you always wanted to drive a scooter, but you just couldn’t stand the thought of people laughing at your low-powered little vehicle chugging along at a pace barely faster than walking speed? Artist Norio Fujikawa’s depiction of a hover scooter might be just what you need to quiet the doubter in you and get you onto a fuel-efficient scooter.Of course, the hover scooter isn’t a reality just yet, but it’s fun to think about the possibilities.

Allan's machine was in fact tuned by Trevor Sharp who seems to have done quite a good job as Allan finished 2nd in Group 1 and 6th in the overall...

SCOOTER RACING in the UK

A Brief History Scooter racing has evolved from very innocent Reliability Trials held by the Lambretta and Vespa Clubs back in the early 60’s. The obvious desire was to race but at the time racing was still a step or two away. Sponsors such a BP with their Zoom, wanted to impress the public with some facts that stood their products in good stead….remember Shell's Platformate? The swell of opinion within the scooter club movement at the time was in favour of out and out racing instead of the monotonous reliability trials, which although lots of fun, had served their purpose.Racing for scooters...
