Clearly it does not include a spelling checker.

This seems to be impractical to leave on the street while you run into your local coffee shop or 7-11 for a drink. I also suspect that it wouldn't hold up to an accident very well.

if it can't talk with pulsing red lights, i don't want to know about it.

High density mobile computing platform rolls right off the tongue. puts the geek in geek scooter.

if you get the grand canyon, don't stop at the ledge, keep going!

Though range and speed would have been decreased greatly, the geekness factor could have been increased by putting all this equipment on a segway.

If it doesn't get as least 100 miles to the gallon, it shouldn't be allowed on the streets. Think fuel economy!

cook my hot pockets?

before all of that crap is stolen!

..if it starts raining? That screen would get pretty messed up.

Jack My Ride!!

Well, this would be an interesting theft magnet. On the other hand, if you could set up the GPS with a script that would call home to a Web server with a location whenever it was able to get on wifi, it make recovery a bit easier.

Of course, it's not much help if the thing gets gutted, and it requires the computer to be powered up, but it could be an interesting idea.

The ability to regain your self respect, dignity and your masculinity....because I'm sure riding that thing would really scream "PANSY".

They should have chosen a better vehicle. Perhaps something like this [honda.com] they could have integrated the screen into the console and made it a really sweet ride. Somebody want to gift one to me so I can build it and post the results?

..is to make you look like such a nerd that women will avoid you like the plague.

The mount on the LCD looks like it was made out of tin and I guarantee you that the LCD vibrates enough to be unreadable even on idle, let alone moving. Not to mention the LCD is going to act as a great sail to catch wind and crank your bars to the right in a wind gust.

What an ugly, slipshod project. Look, you can bolt a bunch of consumer shit to a piece of Plexi. Is that power regulated or are you just praying that the + line sits somewhere around 12V with no spikes?

Also, due to the inappropriate 10-15 deg

Let me know & I'll tear all the gear off. Plus the Yamaha Vino 125 is one of the most expensive similar sized scooters out there @ $2700 base price. Adding what appears to be another $1000 bucks to that and making it useless in the rain coupled with an inability to park it anywhere, well I'm left wondering WTF good it is.

I use a scooter as my primary means of transport. I actually own 4 right now. I can see some value in the radio or repeator type things but most of it isn't needed. What I could use on a scooter is a cig lighter. That direct access to the scooters power system would be nice and with it you could plug any of the things on their list into it and go.

Though I have thought about installing an amp and a guitar jack in the past. It just seems so perfect for getting away so you can jam where people won't get

I would also add a satellite data link [hughesnet.com] for those times when you are out in the wilderness with no wifi signals...
