Rebel73153 93 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Cool. So what do they cost? I saw a Coleman scooter the other day that is about the same except with front and rear racks and they run $499 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AzNuggetBob 1,553 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Way to go azdigger. I spent years riding two Wheeler's out prospecting. I think your new scoot is the way to go. You dont need any more power than that. just enough to get you over that next hill. low profile, looks comfortable to ride too, nice wide seat. I love it. going to save you a lot of walking too.

Desertpilot 571 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Cool, I always thought a Honda big wheel would be a fun way out in the desert prospecting machine. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Ron 1,492 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I tried to find a good used Honda Big Wheel but everyone that had one for sale was just WAY too proud of it...Best I could find was $3500 ... More than I want to pay for that machine.... Ricks little scooter looks cool and very functional! ... Cheers, Unc Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've lusted after one of these for years and I'd probably carry it in a front carrier on our small Class C motorhome for desert rockhounding and exploring. It should be way superior to even an extreme Jeep: https://www.rokon.com/ Edited December 4, 2018 by pnichols Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GotAU? 120 Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) That looks great. I love smaller bikes! I have a Honda Trail 90, the classic off-road scooter. It has a compound low gear that makes it a hill climbing goat too, even with just 90cc’s. My wife and I love scooting around together with it, and it’s light and narrow enough to load onto our receiver hitch with our small truck. no- that’s not me,!it’s a original 1970’s ad... ;) Edited February 7, 2020 by GotAU?

Also, due to my bad experiences with it, I suggest packing a pad or enlarging that kickstand foot for parking on soft dirt. Have fun with that little sand hog! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
homefire 2,581 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) I'd love one of those. Easy enough to load up in the P.U. and get me around quit well it would. Think the Tractor Supply store here in town sell those from time to time. I've looked them over a few times. Not sure it's the same ones. May just end up with one some day. You did dang good on that price. Edited February 12, 2020 by homefire Quote Link to post Share on other sites
