[REVIEW] Scorpion EXO-GT920 Helmet

Simon Bertram — Tue, 04 May 2021 01:57:18 +0000

Scorpion is an American company that is famous for making quality motorcycle protective gear at affordable, realistic prices. While they are owned by Kido Sports Ltd as a subsidiary, they are allowed full control over their own research, development, and production. With worldwide offices and research centers, this allows Scorpion to work with the best engineers, designers, and certification labs that each continent has to offer. As a result, it is rare for a Scorpion piece of protective gear to […]

Fieldsheer Jacket Review

Scooter Nut — Tue, 22 Dec 2020 04:10:18 +0000

December, 2010 – By Jordana Whyte Let me just set the tone right away: I am a freeze-baby. If you’re not familiar with this particular colloquialism, it means that I pretty much cold all the time. I spend my winters under a down comforter cloaked in alternating layers of wool and fleece. My friends mock me for toting jackets to protect against overzealous air conditioning in the summer. To this end, I am not one of those die-hard riders that […]

FirstGear Women’s Contour Mesh Jacket

Scooter Nut — Tue, 22 Dec 2020 04:06:01 +0000

I probably have one of the smallest windows of temperature comfort of anyone I know, and riding my scooter is no exception. This was my (lame) excuse for riding without an armored jacket in the warmer months. The thought of putting on a heavy, sweat-inducing jacket when it is 90 and humid was enough for me to risk my skin, elbows and shoulders, and to reduce my visibility at night. Then I was given the woman-specific Firstgear Contour Mesh jacket […]

Review of the TourMaster Series 2 FLEX Textile Riding Jacket

Scooter Nut — Tue, 22 Dec 2020 04:01:24 +0000

September, 2012 ATGATT, All The Gear All The Time. It’s something I know I should follow and yet often fail at. I do well (very well) with the helmet and gloves. I’m pretty good with the jacket. It’s the protective pants and boots that “fail” me most of the time. I admit that I too often ride in jeans and regular shoes. That being said, a good do-everything jacket is always of interest to me. Here in Minnesota we have […]

GoGo Gear Trench Jacket Review

Scooter Nut — Tue, 22 Dec 2020 03:39:45 +0000

August, 2010 – By Jordana Whyte Jordana was kind enough to review this jacket at my request. Jordana’s connection to JustGottaScoot.com started a couple of years ago when she purchased the Genuine Buddy St. Tropez scooter that I reviewed. She has worn a helmet since she started riding, but I have often pestered her about NOT wearing a protective jacket. Her response involved the lack of protective gear that was designed for women and that looked good. Hopefully GoGo will […]

Review of the HCI 15 Helmet

Scooter Nut — Tue, 22 Dec 2020 03:37:15 +0000

August, 2010 – By Jordana Whyte Introduction by David Harrington It makes sense to wear a helmet. Research, statistics, common sense, they all point to the validity of wearing a helmet when one rides. When it comes to scooter riders, there seem to be a number of people who think that because scooters are generally operated at lower speeds (as compared to motorcycles) and are small and often cute, helmets aren’t really necessary. OK. Fine. Hop on your pedal-bike, run […]

Scorpion Jacket Review

Jahid Hashan — Sun, 20 Dec 2020 15:57:13 +0000

February, 2011 – By Jordana Whyte Another brutal winter month means another multi-season riding jacket review for those of you who aren’t satisfied with Jack Frost nipping at your nose and prefer he gnaw it clear off whilst riding your scooter through the elements. While nothing can quite convince me to keep rolling my Buddy out in anything below, say, 45 degrees on a regular basis I did sacrifice the feeling in my extremities to assess the ability of Scorpion’s […]

Review of MotoChic Gear’s Lauren Bag

Scooter Nut — Sun, 20 Dec 2020 14:39:53 +0000

September, 2015 Debra Chin, founder of San Francisco based MotoChic Gear, borrowed her boyfriend’s backpack to use on a ride. It didn’t fit her very well and looked too masculine so she designed her own intended for use by women. The result is “The Lauren” (named for Lauren Hutton) which first gained exposure through a successful Kickstarter campaign. The Lauren is intended to be utilized as BOTH a backpack and a tote – making the transition from riding to off-motorcycle/scooter […]

Arai Corsair-X Helmet Review: Rea-5 Graphic Edition

Brandon Jackson — Thu, 10 Oct 2019 15:16:58 +0000

Introduction While not necessarily a “new” helmet the Rea-5 graphic brings a fresh look to Arai’s Corsair-X helmet. The Corsair-X is the top shelf unit in Arai’s lineup and designed for racers and supersport motorcycle riders. Since the design comes from the track, this motorcycle helmet is most at home on riders that find themselves in a moderate to full-on forward lean or “race-tuck”. We’ll see this demonstrated later in the review in the noise levels section as the helmet […]

Shoei GT Air Solid Helmet Review: A Shrewd, Narrow Choice of Helmet

Jim Pruner — Fri, 17 May 2019 00:22:08 +0000

Have I Gone Back In Time? You’re probably wondering why I’m reviewing a helmet that was released in 2013, six years too late. Fair question. The answer: because the new GT Air II has just been released and everyone will be scrambling to buy it instead of this original GT Air helmet. A smart shopper who may not have $600 USD to spend on the new GT Air II will realize the opportunity here. Buy the old model for about […]

HaloCam M1 Motorcycle “Dash Cam” Review

Brittany Morrow — Mon, 25 Mar 2019 01:42:47 +0000

Start Here: Setup Hardware/Tools Needed All you need before getting started are a few wiring clips and mounts (I’ll get to that later), pliers, tools to loosen your gas tank (if you want a super clean install) and a microSD card (they call it a TF card in the instructions) with up to 256GB capacity. Optional supplies: Posi-Tap Adhesive Mounts Ground rings Physical Install Installation is where the struggle bus started and stopped for me. I am not afraid to […]

Bell RS-2 Full-Face Helmet: A Great Mid-Range Helmet for New Riders

Cameron Martel — Wed, 19 Sep 2018 03:24:20 +0000

The RS-2 is Bell’s evolution of their wildly popular RS-1, and features numerous improvements compared to the outgoing model. It’s sleeker, better vented, and incorporates a new face shield and sun visor. It’s also claimed to be lighter, quieter, and easier to live with. On paper, the RS-2 is not so much an evolution of the RS-1 as it is a revolution. In practice, the RS-2 is neither… but don’t hold that against it. I’ve been wearing this black RS-2 for […]
