I actually have a travel mug that has a large, open handle that will slip over the handlebars and cables of the Vino, and will also stay put in the People’s curry hook (low though it is). In neither case is it terribly practical to steal a sip, ’cause our lights just don’t last long enough here in Nashville. ;)

Whoa, pretty underwhelming given the hype! I think that drinking/riding is about as silly as driving/talking on a cell phone, but I guess I’m not the target market for this. What’s to stop it from swinging all around (with coffee leaking everywhere) and bashing the bottom of the larger stainless travel mugs against your legshield/paint (as pictured)?

yeah, you know what, a lot of scooters have two little nubs under the front of the seat, I never knew what they were until Ryan pointed out to me that they’re helmet hooks. D’oh!

Well, I could use it on the People TwoFiddy, though. The hook on it is too close to the floorboard, IMO.

The Vino has a hook… underseat. I do use it to secure small grocery bags.

If you 100 sport has no hook, then I think it’s just missing. See Bryan’s first link.

Can they also make an insulated straw for those of us with full face, non-flip, helmets?

How about a kegrator for sidecars that’s powered off of the scoots electronics?

Really? Seriously? That’s it?!

Not to say that it’s a bad idea, just a letdown after all that hype. It’s such a great idea, that I made something very similar for myself over a year ago for under $10:

I’m planning on making a 2-cup carrier next.
