R7E Folding Scooter Mini Bike ONLY 24 miles-folds for easy transport in TruNK

Handy folding mini bike scooter - only has 24 miles on it. Used only twice but that was over a decade ago. I'm not very mechanically inclined & I couldn't get it started (think it may need a new starter?). it did work fine at the time but since its been in storage it will need a little attention to clean it up. With the list price being $2995. 00. saving over 75% is worth it in my book:) Manufacture date is 07/99****BUYER ASSUMES ALL SHIPPING CHARGES FOR THIS ITEM. I WILL BRING IT TO MY LOCAL "MAILBOXES.

 Just put a 50:1 mix of gas and synthetic two stroke oil in the tank and crank it over!

No drivers license. insurance. registration or title is required to operate this scooter on public highways in most states since it is under 50cc.    Your jurisdiction may have different requirements but it is unlikely.   It meets Federal DOT standards for motorcycles with lights. horn. stop lights. etc. so if you live somewhere that DOES require it to be licensed it is easy to do.   Since NJ does not recognize this scooter as a *motor vehicle* there is no title for it.   It says clear title on my listing due to an Ebay requirement that will not allow it to be listed unless this part of the form is filled out - it cannot be left blank or listed no title since they also require a VIN with *motor vehicles* after 1989.   It comes with a Bill of Sale. <<>>

This can be shipped to your door by UPS for about $150. 00 to $225. 00 anywhere in the country.   I will drop it off at a UPS store for free where you will be responsible for packing and shipping payments with the manager of the store.    ALL R7E's are identical models and unchanged since 1997 to present.

Di Blasi has been making folding motorbikes. bicycles. and tricycles for almost 50 years.  For an in-depth history of this dynamic company. you may visit Di Blasi's website. however here are a few highlights:

Founded by Rosario Di Blasi. a former WW2 Pilot and now run by his two sons. Carlo and Carmelo. aeronautical engineers by trade.   

In 1979. Di Blasi introduced the R7.  Since then. it has reached legendary status. as it has proved to have many uses;  as a backup vehicle on a camper. on a boat. in an automobile. as a service vehicle for designated drivers and the delivery and pick-up of rental cars. etc.  It has even been used as an auxiliary vehicle on board the helicopters of the Italian National Police.

They also make folding bicycles and tricycles (such as mod. R32) that are especially adapted to give the elderly and people with minor handicaps mobility and autonomy.

The main characteristic of all Di Blasi vehicles is the speed and ease in which they can be folded or opened: no more than 4 seconds. without the use of tools and nothing to screw or unscrew.  

The entire production process of their vehicles. including the manufacturing of the frames. is done at their production facility in Italy.

The folding moped DI BLASI is the sole one which combines the comfort and the safety of the traditional mopeds to the possibility to be carried in other means of transportations (boats. campers. light aircrafts. cars).

There are several small scooters available in the market. However often they are quite unsafe and uncomfortable just due to these small dimensions.  On the contrary. the moped DI BLASI. when unfolded. has a wheelbase (93. cm) which allows a comfortable and safe riding position. When folded. its size is smaller than that of the mini scooters.

The mopeds DI BLASI is the sole folding: it can be folded to the dimensions of a bag (79. x 35. x 61. cm). nbsp;in 4 seconds and three simple steps. without using tools and without screwing or unscrewing any device; in the same easy and quick way it returns to be a normal moped.

There are some light mini scooters available in the market but only the moped DI BLASI combines light weight (only 30 Kg) to safety and sturdiness.

Several of the mini scooters available in the market have no type approvals. The moped DI BLASI. in the variant equipped with catalytic muffler (R7E. 2 and R7ES. 2). got the type approval according to Euro2 European regulations and DOT US approval.

Therefore the moped DI BLASI is ideal for use in conjunction with campers. cars. boats. light aircrafts and in general for leisure activities.  Furthermore it is the sole one suitable for drink & drive services. for services to rent-a-car companies or to garages for the collection of their cars. etc. It can be proposed also as business gift.

The standard version R7E fits a frame made of high tensile carbon steel and painted with polyester powders. The version R7ES fits frame and hardware made of stainless steel (AISI 304) and therefore is ideal for use in conjunction with boats.

On demand. the moped can be equipped with useful accessories: carrying bag. nbsp;rear luggage rack (NOT INCLUDED IN THIS SALE)

The 49. cc engine and the variomatic drive deliver a top speed of 45 km/h. (30 mph) The maintenance is simple and can be carried out in any repair shop.
