Just some snaps from an evening street car show. These things sure are cute.
I don't know anything about bikes, so I don't know how common they are, but they got a lot of attention when these guys rode up.

I don't know, that one looks pretty nice.
Like I said, I'm not knowledgeable about bikes. Are these things just the novelty toy of the moment, or is there something more to it?

These ARE pretty COOL. I see they even have license plates on them. :D
Everything about them is "mini", except the riders. ;)

I see these things around Vegas as well, but I never see license plates on the ones out here. I think they're considered more of a scooter that doesn't need plates.
Radal, That was a neat looking settup you captured. Haven't seen one of those cars in a long while. :rolleyes:

Well, there has obviously been quite a bit of money spent, and they were moving pretty good down the street with a couple of hundred pound guys on them, so I'd have to guess there is a lot more to them than that.
