These scooters are slick. I think if I were an urban dweller I’d go for it.

Obviously I’m biased because the founder is a friend, but I rode the first generation Unagi quite a bit and it was fantastic, and I think they’ve only improved.

Scooter? Once again, Lou did it first.

There’s a whole bunch of musicians advertising for that Honda scooter on youtube.

I’m fairly certain that eels neither need nor can use scooters. So making scooters for them is a fool’s errand.

Maybe the scooters are powered by Unagi?
Teeny tiny fairies running on treadmills inside it, needing delicious eel for energy?

I used to be the passenger, but now I’m the rider…

It’s going to take a lot more than Iggy Pop to make scooters cool.
Seriously? It’s a scooter.

I need delicious eel for energy. The good stuff has gotten too expensive

Take some of mine. I have a hovercraft full of them.

Nah, this is pretty terrible. Like…it’s just a bad ad. Iggy is the only thing worth noting I suppose and it’s all voiceover? Like, why he isn’t talking in the ad? Why can’t he steal it? Is it theft proof? Does it even go? Why try so hard to emulate motion? The only time the scooter is moving is when he is carrying it and when somebody is kicking it out of frame at the end. So dark and edgy but this high end luxury scooter (yes I know that sounds absurd) is destined for the tech bro set. I mean, stirring up the fantasy of danger and menace on a toy that tops out at 20 mph. Buncha nonsense.

If only. This is certainly not that.
