Default Scooter Bling

I'm not a huge fan of your basic twist-n-go two-wheeler, but these sure look cool. Gotta hand it to the designers for originality at least.

can someone explain why the first few are so low to the ground? How do you lean when it's already on the ground???

I notice this with some custom bikes as well and just don't understand how it would work if you actually rode the thing.

the pics are cool though, i just can't let go of this one point.

my guess is hydraulic or pneumatic suspension. push a button and it rises up to a ridable level. not unusual in the custom bike world.
