Batmobile

DgWKw I have absolutely no idea how this became possible. This is not the same batmobile that was seen at various places of the city when the movie The Dark Knight was screened. It looks like a completely useable one and the rider appears to be respecting the State’s helmet laws and wears one too. Whatever it is, it looks awesome and cool. Would be great if they made more of these.

Piaggio MP3 500 ie

The Piaggio MP3 500 ie is one of the deadliest and mean looking scooters around. In fact it looks so menacing that it would take some time  to get acclimatized to its looks. Nevertheless it is sure to turn heads and grab attention.

The MP is powered by a liquid cooled, four stroke engine that displaces 500 cc. The heart of the machine lies in its design. It boasts of a revolutionary design that features three wheels (two in the front and one in the rear). The design is first of its kind in a scooter. This design provides the scooter with exceptional stability while cornering. In fact the scooter handles so well that it feels like a motorcycle around the corners with its extreme road grip. The scooter is comfortable on both the highways and on local roads and yet it feels so nimble even with its huge body and size which is a bit larger than any ordinary scooter. The whole front wheel assembly tilts when you turn the scooter making sure that both the front wheels stay on ground providing the rider with extra grip.

There is no other scooter on the market that you could drive with so much confidence as this one.

Vespa GTS 300 Super

The Vespa GTS 300 is easily the most powerful scooter ever built by Vespa which is one of several companies owned by Piaggio which is headquartered in Italy. Now some of you might be wondering as to why a scooter takes a place in a blog that is dedicated for Motorcycles. That is because it is the hate for the motorcycles that led to the conceptualization and design of Vespas.

Piaggio after the world war II was not allowed to enter into the business of aeronautics. So Piaggio decided to do something that Italy immediately needed – an efficient transportation vehicle that could be maneuvered easily and could take the beatings of the bad roads that was courtesy of WWII.

The result was a revolutionary vehicle that had its engine mounted directly over the rear wheel and a flat foot rest and a uni body chassis. This Vespa is a modern one and features a 300 cc, liquid cooled, four stroke engine yet it is so agile and easy to ride.
