Default Pukka!
Hi Josh,

It's a 'Pukka' electric minibike that I (we) use around the airport. More at http://www.pukkausa.com/. It will fit in the plane after you have taken the handlebars off (but it's not a good fit). That's a car battery on the back <g>. Torque is insane on this thing - if you go full throttle too fast you'll end up on your back. We don't have a restroom in our hangar, but there is one about 500' away, so we use it mostly for running to/from that.

When I saw the thread title, I thought someone heard about the moto that I am looking at buying ... didn't know I had already purchased it!
