Scooters

We have a 30" TT so there is no way to haul a golf cart with us.

Does anyone use one of the little motorbikes to get around on? Seems like they would be small enough to throw in the back of the TV.

We have 2 of those E-zip 750s, shown in the picture above. Bought them from Walmart online.

EDIT : They are electric and have a max speed of 15 mph. Recharge with a small plug-in 115VAC charger simular to laptop charger, in 8 hours.

Not sure what you mean by "little motorbike." I use a 125cc motorscooter (commuter vehicle for a couple years) but at about 250 pounds, it is not something I can throw around.

You might find 50cc scooters a bit under 200 pounds, and 150-200 was typical for mopeds. Still a lot to be tossing about, but can be pushed up a ramp.

When you get smaller, you start running into "must be street-legal, licensed and insured" to use on roads in public campgrounds, but if you go electric, particularly electric bicycle, there are usually exceptions.

We use these:



They are e-zip brand and that particular one is a 750 watt scooter. You can find them fairly cheap ($100 - $200) On Craigslist. New I think they are $299 at Academy Sports. You can also find the same thing made by Scwinn, I just can't remember what they called them. I have one of those as well in a 350 watt that does just fine.
These actually ride in the 5er with no issues.
Obviously you aren't going to hop on it and run into town for something. But you can't beat them at the campground to get around on.

They had some little scooters at Pep Boys. I don't know if they are elctric/gas or whatever but they were small enough!
