agree with Bruce . the scooter is great for 4-6 changes in public transportantion AND perfect smooth roads...

Of course I will suggest a Dahon... lol
It looks to me that your driving area is much rougher than a smooth surface.... plus hills and such... You need a CUrve D3 .... take the fenders and carrier off and enjoy the big suspension big Apples while riding around ....
In fact I have one without fenders and carriers whichI would let go a little cheaper.... 07 models are slowly selling out and the 08 will be 100 bucks more ... so time is off the essence as they say

And yes I ship to Israel or any other place in the world.. however sometimes shipping rates are out of this world ( literally) and than it doesnt make any sense.. But no problem to get a shipping quote ...
