The modern scooter has been around for over sixty years, but the Speedrunner 300 offers a new twist, with two fronts that look clunky but offer numerous functional advantages. The electro-hydraulic suspension can be locked at speeds below a few miles per hour, making it possible to keep your feet on the floorboards when approaching a red light or stop sign. Ergonomics are comfortable for taller riders. The Speedrunner 300 is wider than most scooters, but still narrows enough for lane-splitting, and the 300cc's single-cylinder engine produces 18.5 horsepower at 5,500 rpm. Acceleration is strong enough for urban traffic, and its CVT transmission doesn't require shifting. But perhaps the most entertaining aspect of the Speedrunner 300 is its ability to corner; once you get over your natural inclination to avoid high speed turns, those two front wheels create an exhilarating ride and allow lean angles of 40 degrees with excellent grip.
