Modern Vespa

I was searching the web for a new iPod clock radio and came across this. It's a powered speaker where the iPod is hidden inside a cylindrical enclosure with speaker on one end and the controls on the other end. Seems like the iPod is nicely protected from weather and the whole thing is designed to fit in the water bottle cage of a bike.

Wonder how it would work sitting in the aftermarket cup holder????

Damn you.. Now I have to go and buy it!

Looks like it comes with/fits a standard bottle cage for a bicycle. Cool.

Wow, that is cool!!

That's VERY cool... The "mountable wireless RF remote control" should make it safer/easier to change tracks while at a stoplight.

(but it may be available for less from retailers like amazon.com and buy.com)

Certainly less "cutting" involved than with this option:

MP3 player for Stella & P series: http://www.scooterworks.com/Stereo_Kit_Stella_and_P_Serie_P4462.cfm

And certainly a less cumbersome option to this:

iHome is great. We have 2 of their clock radio/ipod docks and love them.

http://www.digitalfotoclub.com/product-features.asp?id=964719271 has the iHome speaker system for $39.

That is pretty freakin' neat. Too bad I have a Zen M.

Ah well!

i dont know - this idea is in the same boat as the flagpole. I mean how dorky is it at a stop sign and music is coming from your scooter?? Can't really hear it that well anyway with a helmet on...

Hehe c'mon, nothin would be more intimidating at a light than my ET2 bouncing to DMX. Or I could embrace the situation and blast Pavarotti

Pavarotti = YES, DMX = NO - still it is kind of a "dork factor". Just my HO.

I agree
