Saw this on Northern Tool and Equipment.. Q Electric Expresso PI Hybrid Scooter, Model# PIH 50 \| Electric Scooters \| Northern Tool + Equipment Interesting. Says 80 MPG for the engine - but i wonder if that is a combined rating. not that i have an extra 2,500 lying around.. but is very interesting. steve __________________ Steve - AKA Doofus McFancypants ------------------------------ "If there's a new way, I'll be the first in line - But it better work this time" First Milestone passed - 30 MPG (city) 5/15/08 Best City Tank - 8/31/09- 34.3 MPG (EPA= 20) Best Highway Tank - 5/20/09 - 36.5 MPG (EPA= 28) ------ In effort to drive less: Miles NOT driven in 2009 = 648 (Work from home and Alt Transporatation)
