Urban Scooters

Mosquito Hornet - Gas Powered Scooter Mosquito is one of the original gas scooter manufacturers and the Hornet is their premier model. The Hornet will take you to the extreme. Jump it, hop a curb, take it off road... no problem. It likes to be abused. The Hornet is brutally rugged with a frame guaranteed for 5 years. Check the specs, this is one of the few gas scooters built solid enough for jumping. The Hornet is fast and aggressive reaching a top speed of 30 mph. Its performance is crisp, agile, and responsive. This scooter is stable at any speed. The Hornet offers insane climbing ability and will devour just about any hill you put in front of it. The Mitsubishi engine is one of the best two-stroke gas engines made. Take good care of it and it will last for years. The high quality Shimano Deore braking system is smooth and powerful allowing for quick stops. The advanced gear box system is far more durable and efficient than direct drive systems you'll find elsewhere. Mosquito has designed the Hornet as a "limited maintenance scooter". It's super easy to maintain so your time is spent riding. We love the fluid shape and deep rich colors. The tig welding is not only stronger, but hides the weld adding a sleeker look. The Hornet is top quality, made in the U.S.A. It will exceed your expectations. It's motto, Any road. Any time. Any Reason."
