Hilarioous. I wonder if that scooter must have a floatless carb, like a chainsaw. I wouldn't think it could run over on it's side like that. That must have hurt.

I'm sure you mean centrifugal force, don't you?

It does however show off the terrible power of French scooters.
Not many comments on the vid, but judging by the uploaders other vids, this seems to be the conventionally aspirated version, not the supercharged one.

another great way of ending it involves a shovel, you should try it with your kids.

I know somebody here has a similar video of some leather clad gorillas on a merry-go-round being propelled by moped power.

Where is it?

Ah, this reminds me of the wacky scooter folk at the Not Summit Point Rally (Same weekend as DOOM for the non-initiated).

i thought the same thing. I think the scooter in the video is a little faster than the China scooter dude was using at the rally.
