Anyone heard of or have any info on the Gekgo 3 wheeled scooter. Supposed to be made here, but I can't find much info about it except at the Gekgo website.

Or do you mean something more like this: ps - I have nothing to do with mojoscooters. It was just the only pic I could find. The site doesn't seem "trustworthy" to me, IMO

Interesting. I wonder how they do in the turns. I remember years ago seeing some really old guy riding around on a weird old moped of some nondescript type that had three wheels. He was actually getting it to slide in the turns good too. He was riding it up and down this long dirt driveway beside his home. I enjoyed watching him have fun.

Interesting. I wonder how they do in the turns. That scooter above is horrible... it is a tall trike. Dangerous and clumsy to ride. The rear wheels to not have independent suspension, and do not lean-in on turns... Puts you further to the outside of a turn-circle... encouraging tipping, where a real scooter or trike would not tip. Though, it is a neat novelty, attempting to thrive off the flame of a true three wheeled scooter. Deceptive, but neat.

The MP3 setup makes so much more sense when it comes to handling then the pic I posted above. The one above I think is good for maybe beginners who don't know how to ride a bicycle! ;D Kinda like training wheels! On a more serious note the one above might work well for someone who's suffered a leg injury. I'm an Air Force vet, did 2 tours in Iraq, 1 in Afghanistan - saw a lot of young guys lose their limbs.
