Schwinn Sting-Ray 2000 Foot Scooter

The Schwinn Sting-Ray 2000 Foot Scooter
an official product of Schwinn Cycling & Fitness
was found in the mass market with the Pacific
Cycle name on it. This is still a big mystery
today on how that worked out since Pacific
Cycle had nothing to do with Schwinn un-till
Sept 11th 2001. Was this a conspiracy plot
for Pacific Cycle to take over and win the
Schwinn Cycling brand name? Some say Yes.
Giving us all a small taste of whats to come
the year before Pacific Cycle actually owns it.

Gene`s BMX News --
Well - deck them halls with a bit of holiday
spice - lalala, But - I bet you would like to
ride them halls on this new Schwinn Sting
Ray Scooter? Its cool looking.......

I took a trip to my area Target store this
week and bought one of them Schwinn
Sting-Ray Scooters red/black for $99.99

Its not a bad price - that is, if your in to
the scooter fad or just a flat out Schwinn
nut like my self that has to have any
thing that has the Schwinn name on it.

This new Schwinn Sting-Ray Scooter does
look cool and does ride smooth for a
scooter. It also looks good side by side
with my Schwinn Sting-Ray 20' Street
Series bike.

The Schwinn Sting-Ray Foot Scooter has
a double barrel" frame with dual exhaust
tips and a curvy steering tube.

With exclusive Sting-Ray 12" x 3" "Big Boa"
drag slick rear tire, and a 14" x 2" front tire,
each mounted on alloy rims, Front and rear
custom steel fenders ( Red ) with integrated
rear reflector mount and rolled edges Extra
wide deck with traction grip. the deck is plastic?

A Sure-stop hand brake with a alloy color
matched brake lever. You can also push
down on the back fender to drag stop on
the back wheel, as this is also used as a
brake to stop the scooter. The back fender
does have a skid plate built in the inter
part of the fender, making it a bit strong
to do so.....

Somewheres, someone was asking about
the brakes on this scooter. So here are a
few photo shots of just the brake area on
the scooter.

It also has a durable and cool Sting-Ray
"Dualie" kick stand, and Signature Sting-
Ray "lucky dice" valve caps..............

I have to give Schwinn a Thumbs Up! on this
new Sting-Ray Foot Scooter - it makes "the
rebirth of cool " now even more cool. : )

Enjoy,
