The Scooter Bible


Top level Scoot Culture

If you didn't get one of these in your stocking, Santa must have thought your were really naughty. But don't worry it's not too late to pick up a copy of this incredible new scooter guide by Michael & Eric Dregni.


This 288 page full color guide is packed with photos and history that will make even the biggest scooter buff drool like a kid in a candy store. The guide covers scooters from all reaches of the world starting from the first scooter on through the modern day scooters.

I especially liked the way it is organized, making it easy to see how different countries had different ideas of what constituted the perfect blend of style and function.
1955 Maico-Mobil Advertisement
One of my favorites was the Maico-Mobil which looked like a giant carpet cleaner on wheels. The scooter is what I call "Beautifully Ugly". Wouldn't mind getting my hands on one of these.

In addition to the history of scootering and the sections categorized by locale it also offers a great A-Z listing of scooter manufacturers. I would highly recommend picking up a copy. It will sit proudly on my coffee table and I will never tire of flipping through the photos. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give it a 9.5.



This book is available online through White Horse Press and can also be found at All Outdoors Cycles in Manchester, NH.
