Cobra Motor Scooters
by: Mitch Johnson
When you go to check out the brand selection at any mainstream motor scooter retailer you will find only the most well known names, which is, for most consumers, beneficial because then you know the scooter you are buying is from a reliable company that can back up their product.
Of these well know motor scooter manufacturers is Cobra, a company that produces and sells all varieties of motor scooters.
The chances are high that you have seen a Cobra motor scooter at sometime while shopping around.
The Cobra company also manufacturers Vento motor scooters which are another popularly bought product for the average scooter driver.
The Vento scooters from Cobra are mostly made for commuter usage around large cities.
The designs typically feature a two passenger style, similar to what many people know as mopeds.
At any motor scooter retailer there is likely to be a variety of colors on each model, though you may not find the color and model you want together, but buying online guarantees that you can get the color and design you prefer.
Cobra scooters also have several models under their name, such as the Cobra Gas Commuter, which is a fairly new released motor scooter.
At most web sites this scooter sells for just under $600.
The Commuter model is intended for driving through downtown areas, inner city areas and short distances around neighborhoods.
Because this scooter model was designed to be used as an alternate vehicle, Cobra included several features that improve the quality of the ride.
One beneficial feature is the front and rear shock absorbers that help compensate on slightly rough roads.
Maximum speed on the Cobra Commuter is estimated at 30 mph. A version down of the Cobra Commuter is the Cobra Gas 2 Stroke.
Most of the features are the same, but the engine is slightly reduced and maximum speed decreases about 5 mph.
Though it is a bit smaller version the weight capacity, set at 385 lbs, can still carry two people.
Cobra also has several models of electric motor scooters, such as their Strike Pro Electric Scooter.
The twist grip variable speed on this model allows you to go up to 17 mph.
Although this Cobra electric scooter is a traditional standing scooter there is a special casing that holds and protects the battery and electric motor.
The electric motor on the Cobra is more efficient that many other brands in that it runs for approximately 2000 cycles while others are generally at 800 cycles.
One of the newest Cobra motor scooters is their Extreme Cobra Off-road model.
The two stroke engine on this model lets you speed off-road, but not without the help of the extra wide wheels.
The wheels on the Extreme Cobra measure 38 in. by 15 in. whereas other street use motor scooters have about 12 in. wheels.
The larger wheels provide a greater surface area where the scooter is making contact with the ground, and this is helpful when driving on uneven, rough terrain.
The wheels on the Extreme allow for better balance, traction and steering capabilities.

Under The Volcano
Under The Volcano
by: Steve Gillman
The town sits at the base or "under the volcano" named Tungurahua. We wanted to see it erupt, so we paid the $3 each for a two-hour trip to a hill overlooking the town. The top of the volcano was visible from there, and sure enough, it coughed up a bit of lava on cue. I had another rum drink and helped to push-start the vehicle that brought us there.
My wife Ana and I spent a week there in Ba?os, Ecuador, in June of 2004. The hotel, with cable TV, cost $6 per night. The usual rate was $12, but we're good negotiators. Lunch was just $1 each day, or $2.25 total for both, with tip. Typically, it was chicken, rice, beans, salad and juice. Every other day we splurged and paid $1.50 at a nicer place.
Hot Springs Of Ba?os
The town really is right under the volcano, which has caused problems for the residents over the years. The upside is that it also causes an abundance of hot water. Ba?os has two hot...

Improve Your Yard and Garden with an ATV Plow
by: Ryan Heath
Like many parents, I?ve always had trouble getting my adolescent son to do work around the house. I?m really big on my yard and all the outdoor work that comes with it. I do a lot of gardening, a lot of shoveling, and even more trimming and loading. For years, it was nearly impossible to get my son to help with any of this, and I finally stopped asking for any assistance at all.
A couple years ago, the family up and moved to Colorado. And not just any part of Colorado ? the Rocky Mountains. We found a nice house with a great yard in a small community called Evergreen, about 25 miles west of Denver in the foothills of the Rockies. To our surprise, the house came with a little bonus: A big wooden shed on the property containing an old ATV and a bunch of accessories to go along with it.
After arriving in late November, we found ourselves settled right in time for the winter?s first...

The Up-Side of Driving Motor Scooters
The Up-Side of Driving Motor Scooters
by: Mitch Johnson
For years traditional scooters have been a common kid?s toy, second only to a bicycle, simply because they are fun to ride and they move you around easily to closely surrounding areas.
Motor scooters have also existed for many years but until recently they have never been a popular form of transportation, except for the few people who have supported them from the beginning.
Now, with more and more people making short commutes to places around a largely populated city, motor scooters have risen as an efficient and effective means of transportation for these quick drives.
In the United States the widespread use of motor scooters as an alternate vehicle is even a newer concept than it is in other, mostly European, countries.
In some ways the rise of motor scooter use is attributed to the growing number of people with a concern for the environment.
