Here is my project that I started a few months ago. A 2008 Motobravo 49cc Roketa Scooter dubbed ECTO-S So far I’ve added decals, reflective caution tape, and 40 Green LEDs under it. I plan to add 8 Orange LEDs to the glovebox area this week and later on I plan adding a trunk, Amber Light and mini-flood light on a custom bar. Also got a sound/siren system planned out, with the amp arriveing soon. This is my 1st project I’ve ever done in my life, with so far no help what so ever from anyone, except watching youtube videos and reading online about any info I need. I don’t even currently have any schooling in mechanics of anykind either. ![image](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/SONICR2K/ECTO-S_100_5677.jpg) ![image](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/SONICR2K/ECTO-S_100_5678.jpg) ![image](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/SONICR2K/ECTO-S_100_5680.jpg) ![image](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/SONICR2K/ECTO-S_100_5685.jpg) ![image](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/SONICR2K/ECTO-S_102_5691.jpg) ![image](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/SONICR2K/ECTO-S_102_5695.jpg) ![image](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/SONICR2K/ECTO-S_102_5693.jpg) ![image](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/SONICR2K/ECTO-S_102_5694.jpg) ![image](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/SONICR2K/ECTO-S_102_5696.jpg) ---

Very nice! One thing I’ve always wanted to see on the Vespa Ectos is a proton gun holster. That’d be neat. ---

The confusion may be my fault. I was using Vespa as a generic for scooter. I blame my parents. ---

That’s what I thought… the other guy is wrong about it being a Vespa! This is what Vespa really looks like… [![image](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3L3yu9Szdzk/Sm-qQXD4cWI/AAAAAAAAB9M/YWkwcNnC2yA/s400/vespa_lx_60_1.jpg) ![image](http://www.blavish.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/vespa-gts.jpg) ![image](http://www.bikez.com/pictures/vespa/2006/22853_0_1_2_px%20125_Image%20credits%20-%20Vespa.jpg) ![image](http://www.bikez.com/pictures/vespa/2007/26012_0_1_2_gtv%20250%20ie_Image%20credits%20-%20Vespa.jpg) ![image](http://modvespa.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/pink-black-vespa.jpg) ![image](http://www.vespags.it/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/vespa_gts_300_super_live_04.jpg) ---

> [@stegasp](#): > > The confusion may be my fault. I was using Vespa as a generic for scooter. I blame my parents. You shouldn’t have done that. There’s lots of scooters out these days. Scooters made a comeback and was very popular in the 80’s. I believe Honda was the one that made it popular again but I am not sure. Since it was so easy to get one and drive one, we start seeing some laws being made for it and than it wasn’t so popular anymore or at least in California. I don’t think Scooters will ever be as popular as it was in the 80’s but we now see scooters getting popular for gas mileage and for young college students. ---

Holy shit Craig WHERE do you get your information? Scooter sales have more than doubled in the last ten years. They were _not_ an 80s fad. ---

I’m just awful. Before you know it I’ll be referring to all adhesive bandages as Band-Aids, facial tissues as Kleenex, and all soda as Coke. Awful, I tells ya. ---

Boomer, I think I love you. secrecyguy, thanks for teaching us all about Vespas, and not only posting one reference image, but 6. And SONICR, your scooter looks great. Shows that an Ecto doesn’t need to be white to look good. ---

Shows that an Ecto doesn’t need to be white to look good. Heh, Yea. I chose Silver as it made me think of ECTO’s white and it’d make is stand out more. After seeing a YouTube video I’ve also thought about adding a Nitrous tank to it and panting it Yellow to make it like ECTO’s Air tanks. It’d accellerate faster then a 150cc then, perfect in a emergency… 🆒 If anyone has any Ideas and more Scooter knowledge, let me know. I want to increase acceleration on her a bit. ---

Closest I’ve come to is calling a pepsi a coke at a drive through. Haha… I live in South GA, so I hear people refer to _any_ soda as Coke. But, like you, I try not to label generics with popular brand-names… I did let slip with that “Vespa” comment earlier, though. ---
