Wouldn’t it be cool to ride across the country on two wheels, with the wind in your hair and nothing but the open road… on a scooter that tops out at 29 miles per hour? I didn’t think so either. But these guys do.

This video catches them at the beginning of their trip. They’re pretty psyched about it, and hit the road with plenty of enthusiasm. But by the end of this first installment, they’re already running into trouble. And they’ve still got a really long way to go.

All I can say to these guys is good luck. They’re certainly going to need it. You can follow their adventures at inTransit.tv.
