I live in rural southern Illinois just outside of Sparta and have been riding for five years. My first scooter was a Yamaha Zuma but I quickly realized that it was too small for the riding I intended to do.
Next came the Vino 125. Well, southern consists of towns that are 5, 12, 17, etc. miles apart. You get the picture. Highway riding can't be avoided. So two years ago I purchased a used Majesty 400. Now, there's a SCOOTER, if you want to call it that!! LOL
I still ride the Vino 125 into and around town but the Majesty 400 is my main ride. I probably would sell the Vino if the chance presented itself.
I am 65 years old, married, and retired. My wife does not share my enthusiasm for riding so I ride alone all the time. I see other scooter riders on the road but never have a chance to talk to them. Oh, to have a scooter club in the vicinity!! That would be great. Or even a couple of riders to travel with once in a while. If you live fairly close to my location give me a ring.
To date I have only pictures of my scooters but I am not on them. I'll take some photos this Spring and submit them.

A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.
Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.
One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.

I'm Back!
Yes, I have been noticeably absent from the site the past few months. I recently lost my mother to a long battle with COPD and was subsequently plagued with a bunch of minor health problems. But I'm better now & back full swing.
I had to delete over a hundred questions that had been submitted, some because they were too old for answers to still be valuable and many because they were written in text speak, which I don't accept on the site. PLEASE... use proper capitalization & punctuation, so I can publish your question/review, etc. without editing. Thanks! :)
Wondering why your scooter question never got posted?
Chances are, there is a good reason. Did you...
If you "checked yes" on any of the points above, then I've deleted your post. Sorry, but I have standards. Feel free to re-submit, following the instructions I have everywhere on the site.
Also... all submissions have to be reviewed by me, and that can take a few days sometimes. Comments go live without approval, but still take 30 to 60 minutes to show up, so don't repost them, please.
We have lots of unanswered questions... can you help? Also, check out our newest eScooter Club members We are growing every week!
