Rayben weighs 91 kilograms or 200 pounds.
With free parking in some major cities and efficient fuel use it is clear why scooters sales have increased 69 per cent since 2004, but I'd want to ride one for a different reason:
The
Mad Bastard Scooter Rally is a 800 km 24-hour scooter endurance rally in Ontario. Some photos from this year's race can be seen
here. It looks like a lot of fun, and a great reason to buy a scooter.
