How much should I sell my black Peugeot Elyseo 125 scooter (2001) for?

admin — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 11:18:59 +0000

Registered in 2001
Has failed an MOT - Front right fork leaking oil - Just cant afford to keep her anymore
Other than that, it is in fin condition.

It would be worth getting the fork seal & MOT done - it would be worth about £880 in good condition, as it is you'd be lucky to get £500 for it.
(ps to previous answer - you can't ride a 125 at 16)

Be sure to connect Negfitive (-) to Negitive, and Positive (+) to Posttive.
Clean up the cable lug's with a wire brush just lightly to engsure the best connection. You can buy terminal protector spray to apply to the battry to ensure longer battery life span.
To determin if a battery needs to be charged buy a hydrometer (http://www.stevenson-reeves.co.uk/howto.htm)

Are motor scooters (125 cc) street legal in IN? What about 2 seaters?

admin — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 07:10:29 +0000

I'm asking for the state of Indiana. If unsure, how would I look into this? I've found websites, but none answer the question.

They are legal and most of them are two seaters, the illegal ones are the chinese imports that can not be titled. You will still have to have a license and insurance.

The New Kia Soul

Zac — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 04:06:08 +0000

The first thing that strikes you about the Kia Soul is the way it looks like a child’s toy that has been designed by a hyperactive, caffeine-addicted, Attention Deficit Disorder sufferer. The thinking behind the aesthetic design is obviously Kia’s attempt to shake of the drab and cheap impression that many people have of the brand. The boxy body, with odd curves, tall roofline and high ground clearance does look a lot more striking than anything else that has rolled out of Kia’s Korean production line, but is it all a bit too much for the classically reserved British palette?

Early indications suggest that the Kia Soul will most probably fit very nicely into the market; unavoidable really considering it is trying extremely hard to impress every all types of car buyer. The sporty looks will attract the youngsters, the ecologically-sound engine will impress the ‘Green’-set, the roomy interior will persuade those of us with families and the price-tag will convince those who have recently been credit crunched. For one car to attempt to corner four opposing markets is a very brave but potentially foolish move.

The Soul is available with 1.6 Litre Petrol or Diesel option, both providing an impressive 124bhp and producing 55.4 mpg, so it is seemingly powerful for its class and isn’t a gas-guzzler either. Its notable 137 g/km Co2 emissions are also impressive in this increasingly environmentally aware society. All in all everything under the bonnet performs above expectation, which is a rare boon for Kia, who seem to stick rigidly to the engineering principle of ‘never surprise or overwhelm’. That is until the Soul made a rather bold and brave appearance.

Inside the Kia Soul is a relatively comfortable and pleasant place to be sat. The interior has obviously been as well considered as the exterior. Clearly laid-out controls, good driving position and firm but comfy seats show that Kia have the driver’s pleasure at the forefront of their designing minds. The Kia also comes with air-con as standard to keep you feeling cool, whilst the Soul continues looking cool.

The handling is light, progressive and responsive, which is everything the prospective supermini owner is looking for in a car. The 16inch basic wheel option is also oddly superior to the 18-inch option, which somehow manages to multiply the feedback of every tiny bump into what feels like grand chasms. Other than that, the Kia Soul provides a generally smooth and enjoyable ride.

The Kia Soul will be available for around £12,000, which firmly puts it in at the lower end of family-sized hatchbacks. Its nearest competition is likely to be the new Fiesta, which we already know will trounce the Kia Soul in every conceivable way. What Kia will be crossing their fingers for is to make a bit of a buzz in the market and convince a few ignorant cynics that Kia can manufacture cars with character and good performance.

can anyone tell me if you can ride a 125 scooter with a full driving license?

admin — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 00:24:29 +0000

I have had since my driving licence since 1988 or do I have to take some sort of scooter driving test?

Study the motorcycle handbook on the DMV website for your state to prepare for the motorcycle written test.

Inquire where the skills test course is and practice before your appointment . . example:

If you desire to purchase some cones, soccer field cones at Wal-Mart are cheap.

Don't forget to budget for proper riding gear . . this is why.
