This has to be one of the cutest mini-scooters we’ve featured on Scooterswag. It’s made by “Present Time” and measures 25″ x 9.5″ x 16″ and comes in pink/brown or blue/black. It’s all wood and is priced right at $75. If you get this for a tyke, please send photos of them riding it to us! (tips (at) scooterswag.com)

Thanks to Cassie for this great find!

Not going to the Las Vegas Scooter Rally this year? Neither am I. Low on ducats and my Triumph Tigress is still not running right. So for all of those scooterists who won’t be competing in the “build off” contest I offer this small condolence prize – two scooters that are much cheaper and easier to build than anything they will be showing in Vegas. Sigh. The small scooter puzzle is $1 and the larger scooter is $13.

“Mykea” is a site for people who want to customize their ubiquitous Ikea furniture. The site has all kinds of transfers and iron-ons. This design is called “Ciao Bella!” and is for the “Malm” Ikea bed series. The price costs 27 – 55 Euros depending on which size you choose.

PS: Somehow I managed to forget who sent in this tip. (Thanks you whoever you are!)

These seem to be much easier to find over in Europe. They’re called “Ravensburger” puzzles. If you find a source for them in the States or online, let us know!

Here’s an ornament featuring Dachshund riding a Vespa.
Fun Fact: Did you know they have “Wiener Dog” races all over the world? It’s true! (No, the Dachshunds don’t ride scooters.) Here’s some footage of one in Cincinnati, Ohio:

Hi all,

You may have noticed a few changes here and there on the Ol’ ScooterSwag. I would love to hear what you’d like to see in the future as we near the 1000th post. A new theme? A better way to comment? More posts? Leave things the way they are?
Most changes will be hindered by my WordPress skills which are severely lacking.
But I’m open to suggestions!

Cheers and thanks,
