The wife is thrilled about the scooters

Just got a couple more scoots off craigslist.

A teal 1987 Schwinn YO! Delux Scooter. Came factory with the 14" front spoke wheel and the 12" mag rear wheel. Paint is rough and it needs new tires and tubes, but all the brake components and grips are still good enough to use.

A purple/white fade Rallye Curb Cruiser scoot. Really great condition, just one bad tube. High end scooters is the 80's came with 14" wheels like this one.

I'm diggin the scooters a lot and they sell for dirt cheap.

Apparently my dad had one of these old scooters at his house I forgot I used a few times. Couple pictures of me going off some sweet jumps I made with logs and plywood. Hahaha

That orange is smokin"!! I'd love to be able to get back on one of these or a BMX bike...

Maybe I'm too old and brittle...

I'm going for a different style!

Very nice resto!!!
I had one of those when I was younger. Kind of the predecessor of the razor scooters.
I showed it to my son and he bugged out.
He is now into BMXing at the skate park.

Great score!


Funny you bumped this thread. We took my scoots out this weekend. After a 20 minute ride we came back and parked them in the yard.

10 minutes goes by and BOOM! The rear tube blew up! Felt like a shotgun blast.

15 minutes go by and BOOM, the freakin front tube blew up! Wtf?! 2 brand new tubes and 2 new tires. Crazyness. Lucky it didn't. Blow when we were on them.

 

[JustCruisin]

Dang! Hey where'd u get the whitewalls?

 

[blu_fuz]

The white walls I bought from a guy on BMXmuseum.com. I do have a new set of all black 14's tires if you need them. Your s look to be 12's though. Check the museum for parts.
