Jim, Welcome to the group, the Vino seat height is less than 30 inches; roughly 29 inches. My Zuma scooter seat height is at 30 inches. If your wife does not...
Hi Jim, What a great Christmas gift! There are several women on this group and the girls group (the link is below) that are about 5 ft. tall or so. I'm 5'5"...
Hi Jim Welcome to the group... Your wife is one lucky woman.. [:)] I am one of the shorter women with the Vino 125. I am 5' 1" and cannot quite flat foot the...
When I'm at a short stop, I scoot forward so my feet (balls of feet and tiptoes) touch the ground. When its windy, or I'm at a longer traffic light, I lean it...
The seat of the 2007 vino 125 is different form the previous years' models and is mores sculpted/stepped like the TNG Milano seat, so I don't know if that...
My ex-girlfriend, from Taiwan, was 5'2" and complained bitterly that I had bought such a "big motorcycle" as the Vino 125. Oh, well, she also complained about...
thanks for all the tips re: adjusting for the seat height on the vino. one yhing i have often wondered about is why scoot manufactures dont make the seats...
Hi Jim, That is a good idea and it makes perfect sense. My Buell has two seat options: a standard seat height (which is still lower than the Vino 125) and a...
Cara, They could shave some extra foam from the seat and get a little more reduction. Anything else gets tougher because the bottom of the seat contacts and...
Hi Jim - Welcome! And make sure you and your wife check us out on the Vino125girls group - we'd love to see you there too! It all depends on where your wife...
Yesterday I left the house and forgot to check the weather. It was about 46 degrees. When I left work at 11:00pm it was 28 degress :-( All dressed in my...
Hi Ed, I'm in Vermont and am still riding (Highs are in the 30's these days). I have to say that there were two advantages that the Vino 125 I sold last summer...
SoCal is getting cooler and in the past days we had blistering dry wind. But with my gear on I look like the Michellin Man. I have not install my windshield...
Yea the mornings here in San Diego have been freezin!!! I'm still scootin. First Vino you don't need a battery tender if you through an iridium plug in....
We have had some very cold temps here in Colorado lately. Even though I have an iridium plug, my Vino had a hard time turning over....however, our Honda Mets,...
Soozn, Consider getting this checked at a dealer - it should start easily in cold temperatures without any throttle. Add fuel system cleaner to a full tank of...
Tony- thanks for the response. I have disabled my accelerator pump and wondered if that had anything to do with it. The scoot started up slowly, but I had to...
Susan, Disabling the accelerator pump shouldn't affect cold starting on a otherwise properly operating Vino 125 carburetor. But if the autochoke and related...
You're right, the Vino does not need a battery tender every night. But I do have a easy access hook up on the Vino which allows quick connection. As soon as...
FV, Keeping a Battery Tender hooked up in cold weather even when the scooter sees regular use is a good idea. Less struggle during cold starts will extend the...
I learned to ride in 27 degrees and high winds because I just couldn't wait until I got on the scoot... so I spent all summer looking for good winter gear and...
The cold has been a challenge for me here in Maryland. It's been in the 20s to 30s of late in the AM when I go to work, and with some wind on top...man that's...
PS. I honestly believe in the long run only electric clothing will keep you riding in the deep cold. Has anyone tried to hook up such electric clothing from...
John, I thought riding in mid 40s and low 50s were bad with all the wind chilling effect, your conditions are far more challenging. I often wear enough...
I don't believe anyone has tried, but I analyzed the power requirments a few times and it might be possible within certain constraints. Type "electric vest" in...
Hi First and John, If you're going to go to the trouble to get and figure out where and how to mount a second battery, why not just use the Vino's on board ...
FV, I understand your reluctance to drain the Vino's main battery even if you're replacing the charge overnight with a Battery Tender or equivalent. Cranking...
