  • Highest Quality Scooter to date.
    By  (I am an Owner) on Oct 14, 2011

    After owning a dozen scooters. I think I've finally figured out what I want from a scooter.

    My list in no order of preference;

    It should be quiet,

    (the morph is eerily quiet and smooth)

    Comfortable, (provided you're under 6')

    Receive road irregularities without ...

    Decent storage,

    Predictable handling, and acceleration.

    Finally every bit as important as the above,

    Solid quality built.

    My Morphous has more of what I want than any Scoot I've owned to date.

    You can't have it all.

    Some of the things that I have had to eliminate from my list over the years are,

    FAST, Adequate will do. Predictable is a better description. Not dangerously slow the Morphous is as fast as most 4 cyl cars. This is ok . The bonus I'm receiving is 74 mpg.

    All day Hi-way.

    This used to be important but has moved down the list and finally off.

    I don't appreciate the hi-way but it's nice to know she is very capable of 70mph cruising with a tiny bit of oomph leftover.

    ( Tall shield required mines a lg from 7jurock)

    All in all I couldn't be happier given whats available today. There is Too big too small too fast too slow and for me there's just right.

    Obviously you have to want to be different and like its, better in person, looks.
