University of Wisconsin engineering students tackled the problem of why 50cc 4 stroke Vespas are so slow and no fun to ride. Correction, they went after trying to improve the gas mileage by designing some sort of fuel cell system to aid normal gasoline combustion. They claim a ten percent reduction of fuel used. Let me list their mistakes in no particular order of significance.
1) They are trying to improve the fuel efficiency of a 4 stroke 50cc Vespa
2) They aren’t abandoning gasoline all together to go 100% Hindenberg
3) All the dorks pictured are paying no attention to the girl on the scooter. WTF boys?!
All this points to a need to request the University of Wisconsin to stick to stem cells and shortening the lines for beer at hockey games. (I haven’t been in a decade or more, so they may have banned beer sales all together).
She’s kinda cute though…and just maybe those geek boys don’t swing that way, if you know what I mean.
You forgot mistake number 4. The article is called, “Going green, one moped at a time,” but it’s a SCOOTER not a moped!
I would respectfully disagree. If I were to, for example, park my ET2 at a bike rack on campus and demand recognition as a scooter I would get a parking ticket. But when I park my ET2 MOPED (as designated by a license plate issued by the State) at a bike rack, I don’t get a ticket and save 112.00/month in parking. I’m 100% OK with calling my “50cc” Vespa a moped. That’s about 900.00 a year where I roll. Savings from parking is the only way any one of my scooters will ‘pay for itself’.
The geek boys probably haven’t spoken with an actual girl before and are terrified she might catch them looking at her. The professor probably won’t let any of them ride the scooter either. Their only hope is that they get a really good job making lots of money once they get out of school, then they might get a chance to talk to and even possibly date a girl. They will also be able to afford transportation that can go over 35mph and won’t be concerned with wringing another few mpg out of something that already gets 90mpg.
I dunno, I knew a bunch of engineering majors in college and my girlfriend slept with them way more often than she slept with me.
In any case, their engineering-degree starting salary will hopefully be enough to score a 50cc Vespa.

Man, that’s COLD…! :lol:
