Me too! I get first dibs for one for my wife. Figure we could ride together. I'm surprised you know about these. They weren't very popular. I've never seen a second one in real life.

Was around when they came out and almost bought one but the price almost choked me, should have bought it anyway life is short. The question is where did they all go? Is there a scooter museum full of outrageously priced units out there that I don't know about! Well we will just have to keep looking.

I got it late in the game. Sharper Image was going out of business when I got it and they were offering a "Spend $300 and get $200 back deal." The scooter cost only $250, so I actually had to look for something else to buy to get up to $300. Assuming the binoculars I bought really are worth $50, by the time I got my refund, the scoot was $50 plus tax/shipping. That ended up being around $65 if I remember correctly. The deal was just way ridiculously good. I should've asked my mom at the time to buy me one w/her credit card since Sharper Image had limited the purchase to one-per-customer.

What's the original price of the scoot? I never knew b/c I never noticed it until it became a deal.

Perhaps this is something that became vaporware??
