Would you ride something like this: Vespa Padrino I don't personally care for the styling, too futuristic for me, but several of the features look interesting. Love the dash, and the front assembly steering mechanism is very interesting! |

It looks like something out of Dr Seuss.

Very cool. I commute on 2 wheels for many reasons. I do like that it lessens waste and fuel use. I was very excited that my "new" bike is getting a consistent 50 mpg. It has been as high as 55 and as low as 48 but still quite good...

It takes me a bit longer to get to work on my scoot, about twice as long, actually, but I love it. It really puts me in a better mood. The gas savings is huge and I'm only getting about 45mpg (300lbs rider on a 150cc shortcase running close to full throttle all the way) It's about 15 miles each way. I don't take it every day but I have put 5k on it since november.

Looks interesting but antivirus gives me a big "Whoa! Are you sure you want to go there? That is a risky site."
Still for now the answer is no. If it didn't have wheels and floated like the scooters in Fireball XLV or the Thunderbirds and you did not have to be a marionette to ride them then maybe.

Ride it?!!! Heck no, I can't even look at it! Padrino is also a poor choice for a name ,as it means godfather. With a name like that, It should be like a retro scooter reminiscent of the first models.

It looks like something out of Dr Seuss. It LOOKS sorta neat, very minimalistic, But I don't know if BUILDING it seems realistic... I pondered and looked 'til my looker got sore, then I looked and I pondered a little bit more! The styling's pure Vespa, not at all eclectic, it's powered by magic (or maybe electric)?Its lines are so toy-like, and hospital-clean like something from Darth Vader's gumball machine! I'll bet that it whirrs and it purrs down the road, though it probably won't carry much of a load... I guess that I'd RIDE it, though it's ITTY-BITTY... but ONLY in costume, as big HELLO-KITTY.
