Not quite done yet.

eToys is offering this Eurostyle toy scooter called the Razor Pocket Mod Betty Electric Scooter. Ain't it cute as a button!

I think it needs a little something to make it more authentic. Driving around with this fresh-off-the-showroom-floor look is as unnatural as a wearing a pair of unwashed shrink-to-fit 501s. Here are a few mods that will make it more like its bigger cousins cruising the streets:



The "parking accident" is the easiest mod and will automatically happen within minutes of giving it to the kids. Extra mirrors are just a given in the list of required accessories but if you take it as far as one scoot I saw at AmeriVespa with over 30 pieces (!) of chrome hanging off the front then you'll be looking at a burned out motor in a hurry. Now modding' an electric scooter to get that authentic 2-stroke blue smoke is going to be tough.
