My older scooter died on me. I purchased the same year and make and now my latest scooter has had throttle issues. I have stalled so many times. Thankfully I have a friend that rescued me when I am stranded in a bad neighborhood near downtown. Otherwise I would have ended up walking my almost 300 lb. Scarabeo 150 scooter blocks to the dealer. While I was attempting to get the Scooter out of the street so many people honked at me. Not sure why they thought I would go any faster.
After many attempts to see what the issue was at the shop, they think it was related to the vent not releasing enough air? Gas was getting in an area, which made my scooter boost from barely moving the throttle. I was frustrated that I almost got rid of it this last time.
I warned the dealer that I planned to get rid of it after this fourth time taking it. I was thinking about getting a motorcycle but these hills in San Francisco are too steep. Anyways, it has been running fine the past two days since I got it back. If I had to ride any more San Francisco buses, I swear…. I dont know what I would have done. So many creepy people try to talk to me on the bus. They find that a redhead on a bus is approachable or something.
Here’s my latest beauty. 2001 Aprilia Scarabeo 150cc. I would describe the color as a pearl green color. I took the old ugly helmet case from my the red scooter and put it on this one.
