TGB Delivery
I am seeing these advertised all over. 2009 models new, in 50/125 (150?)cc. Probably a good idea that is not catching on.

I saw some of those at the Vancouver Motorcycle Show. I guess you could deliver pizza maybe?

I think it depends on the market. I would ride one.

Don't expect it to meet safety standard in US/Canada.
There are some (myself included), that *think* "safety standards", especially on a 2 (or, in this case a 3) wheeled vehicle, are nothing but a load of "old bollocks", and nothing but an excuse for the government to impose hidden costs generating revenue. ESPECIALLY, in this case, where the top vehicle speed is 60k/hr (37 miles an hour), making it, for most of us, a light, city type, delivery vehicle, that does not use up natural resources at alarming rates. The uses for such a vehicle are endless (from light contracting, to appliance delivery), and in many cases would/could replace a full size pick-up, that are notorious gas guzzlers. |

Oh, I would like the pizza delivery TGB scooter, but the trike would be cool too.

And, I *guess*, about 1/2 a million business owning Europeans have this whole thing "wrong"?

They don't need to be protected from themselves like we do. :roll:
