    RPB RADMINI STEP-THRU - CYCLE OR SCOOT

    Before plunging into the world of electric biking I used an electric scooter to shuttle about locally, strictly for the purpose of eliminating some of the need for gasoline. The scooter had a low mounted seat ensuring a good footing when necessary, and was excellent for short trips on pavement...

    SpaceForce

    A little more thought would have probably netted a better name other than calling an army of Astronauts the Space Force. Or would they be known as Space Cadets? I shudder at the thought!

    THE NEW RPB CITY STEP THRU - CITY & TRAILS TOO
