I saw this photo on Flickr and wrote to the photographer, Daniel Levy, to ask permission to post it here. David took this photo on the street in Paris, where he currently lives. Besides the obvious fact that it is a pink scooter, the main detail that caught my eye was the child seat mounted on the back. I’ve seen child seats in European scooter catalogs, but they don’t exist over here in the US, as far as I know. Daily transport by scooter is still a new concept here, and carrying children on two wheels can sometimes be a highly debated subject on US-based scooter forums.

David publishes a fascinating blog called WorldWideMotorcycles.com, along with a Flickr photostream. His mission is to document every motorcycle he sees.

As for the brand name of the scooter, I can’t make it out in the original photo – all I can tell you is what you can see and what David said on the site – it says ‘Sixties’ on the side and appears to be a 125cc clone of a Honda Joker, or maybe one of the many scoots modeled after the Aprilia Mojito.
