Something about scooters, I want bright and cheerful. So the dark/muted colors are a miss for me with this batch.
If you really want, we could give you some tips for getting maximum MPGs, low emissions and very low performance out of your Buddy! :)
Yeah... I went through my last set of roller weights pretty quickly, so ... hmmm... '-)

Not to mention, the 4-stroke Stella's are actually rated better mpg than the EcoBuddy was ever rumored to be.

It's also got much lower emissions than just about anything on the road.

BUT… I still think we may see an electric Stella in the US. I have nothing to base this on other than some random comments and the knowledge that such a scooter exists.

Not sure about CA availability. It's all up to the bureaucrats.
Yep, just talked to my dealer and he said mid to late May. :(

We ordered the new buddy 170i in brown might not get it till June though all the ones coming in May were already spoken for by dealers. I think my dealer is going to try to trade to get it for us in May! I can't wait! First scooter for us we are so excited!

I wonder why we've had so few of them in CO?

My guess is that there are still lots of 150's at the shops, and if they lowered the price to clear those, then the 125's wouldn't sell, and it would be a cascade of little profit for a lot of effort.

They are happy to order a 170i with some cash down though, and I fully qualify for awesome promotional deals. I just....shouldn't. AAAAGH!

Suuuuuuper happy with mine :D :D Just saying!

I was torn between the brown and green, because I didnt like the seat and handles on the green. So I just switched the seat and handles.

I may just walk in the dealership and buy what they have. Kinda like a puppy chooses you, not the other way around. Silver is cool cause I love the Raiders and can put some cool stickers on it. Keep the names coming!
