To me the word "Scooter" means you have a step-through frame design. It also means small wheels in my head. But here is a big wheel step through design dating back to the dawn of the 20th century as near as I can tell. Pretty cool old photo.

EDIT: Perhaps I should have posted this in the Daily Scooter Girl thread. Laughing emoticon

No hands. I wonder if she's getting any wobble.

Looks like the model she is riding has mini-ape hangers on them instead of stock ones - wonder if that was a common 'mod' back then... Razz emoticon
