Might be the real thing?

I've noticed that some of "The Cave" memoribilia might be more than just props.
I have a feeling this scooter might be the real thing since it's too heavy to ship...only wish they offering some of the long gone Mini Megs.

You should go for it! However, I'd make sure call the folks at Premiere to make sure that there is a motor in there. They are awful slow about getting back to people via e-mail, or through the ebay channels. Good luck.

There is no on-off control if you look closely. So not sure if it is the real thing (I doubt) or my eyesight is getting bad...

I like to call the DR scooter the screamer, but not cause its fast.

Where's the power switch? Or where should it be?

Here two pics I took at DEMA last year.

How should I know, I have never seen it in person...

On my Gavin and SS, it is on the handle itself. So was on the Apollo, Scubapro and Suex scooters. That summed up all of the scooters I have ever used.

I would think it should be on or at least the handle so you could control the speed.

Anyway, outtahere until Monday. Ciao!
