Nice article. On the 2012 CBR Team Scooter Trash ran it for Surfers for Autism. We figured...what the heck...we're going to run this anyway...might as well raise some money for a charity.

I got a late start setting it up from Ramallah but we still managed to raise about $3K.

Doesn't sound to bad of a pot for what sounds like an Almost last minute idea....think of how much more with a year to plan!

BTW, how'd the Stella's run/ handle it?

We had a 4T on this year's Cannonball and it did GREAT. Even as a 4T owner, I was impressed and amazed. Granted, it ran pretty slow in the mountains. And Steve didn't push his scoot as hard as many of us. He's a much more patient sort, I guess. He just cruised along at a comfortable speed and took his time.

Maintenance-wise, I think he swapped his tires and did two oil changes. He did very little prep.

He was also on the stock seat, which is just nuts.

I did a hundred mile loop a few weeks ago and even though the stock seat is fine for all my grocery getting-errand running-jaunting about town riding....that trip got...painful, and had to make breaks frequently, but the SOM recommends stopping every hour anyway, so it worked fine.

BTW, are there upgrade seats for a 4T out yet?

You could try swapping on a seat made for a Vespa Rally. They had a humped fuel tank as well and the seat design is relatively interchangeable with the Vespa P/PX line, from which the Stella is derived.
