Vento Hot Rod Scooter Review
by The Loopy

Vento, Hot Rod Scooter
The Vento hot rod is like a Vespa meets a Harley with Honda performance. It has a nice beefy look with classic style. The 150cc power is just right to get ahead of traffic and establish your presence as a vehicle on the road. Speedometer says 90, I have only gotten it to 60.
That's plenty. Very comfortable saddle for a short commute or commuted over 10 miles. 1.2 gal tank has no problems getting over 100 miles of travel. It has Harley type handle bars which are perfectly placed for great comfort.
The only thing I would like is an auto start, a locking button latch for saddle trunk and if there was storage in the center console. Personally I might put on a chrome pipe and some ground effect lights. ;)
Brand new, you can pick one up for $1,400 or 1900. Other dealerships will try to jack up the price. I'd go straight to a Vento dealer.
They are unique, powerful and fun. Word on the street is they are mostly Honda parts, so service is do-able. The coolest part besides the form/function, is that its an American company.

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.
