Just read HUFC's thread about what he is having to do for his college work and stuff and came across this little beauty. I'd love to get my hands on one of these.
I've absolutely no idea what it is damn sure it would turn some heads though. Wonder what the insurance company would make of it. Bet it isn't even on their lists!
That's not a scoot.....it's a sled!!, Interesting design mind you- Imagine the motor an petrol tank combo you could rig up- world's 1st 1500 mile range between fill ups scooter. .
Just found it! It's a Glas Goggo scooter. Here's what i found on it: Hans Glas GmbH is a former German automotive company, which was based in Dingolfing. Originally a maker of farm machinery, Glas evolved first into a producer of motor scooters, then automobiles. It was purchased by BMW in 1966, mainly to gain access to Glas's patents, they were the first to use a timing belt with an overhead camshaft in an automotive applications,[citation needed] with its limited model range shortly phased out by its new parent.
Scooters Glas Goggo scooter with sidecar In 1951 Andreas Glas saw the Vespa scooter from Piaggio in Verona, Italy. He was so enthused that he began production of motorscooters that July. The scooter debuted with a 125 cc motor, increased over time to 150 cc and 200 cc. Until 1956 46,181 motor scooters were built. Production of scooters stopped because of the Goggomobil cars.[citation needed] From 1953 on, load-carrying scooters were built as well.[1] With the 200 cc engine and 9.5 bhp,[citation needed] they had a load capacity of 200 kg.[1
NSU made some similar looking things along with a few other companies, goggomobil cars where cool, my dad had one when i was very young, i only vaugly remember it because i was maybe 3. i rmemeber he had a rover with a v6 too, he loved that bloody rover, it was a pile of shite!
