About: I joined the gang at Gear Patrol because I believe that as men we often settle for less than the very best lifestyle we can attain. It’s been ingrained into our psyches to forgo certain products, services or lifestyles because they don’t fall within some antiquated male paradigm. Bunk.
It’s time as men to stand up and redefine what’s rightfully ours. Much of what I have learned to this end has come through advice from guys who had the experiences and knowledge I was seeking. My only regret was not learning it sooner. Now I feel it’s my obligation to pass along what I know. I’m not saying I have all the answers but I’m happy to share what I’ve learned so far.
On a more personal level, I live an active lifestyle and focus on my health and wellness as a means to sustain the frenetic pace. I also suffer from a case of golf-itis and spend a lot of my free time perusing that passion… ok, obsession. I aim to incorporate relevant fitness and golf content into Gear Patrol’s expanding coverage of all things male. Like the rest of the crew I can’t stand over-hyped, under-performing products. None of that crap will be perpetuated here.See Authors Posts (93) on Thu, Oct 22, 2009 | Email To A Friend

Rolling up in a scooter generally won’t turn any heads. You may garner a few looks, but not the kind you’re looking for. If on, the other hand, you’re behind the wheel handlebars of an Auto Moto, people will take note.
Capable of hitting 60 mph, the Auto Moto is chocked full of features. What caught our attention was its staggering 83 mpg fuel efficiency rating. The Auto Moto will do over 160 miles on a pint sized 2.1 gallon tank. Throw in an impressive trunk (72 liter volume), a back seat with fold-out arm rests, and a stereo with MP3 connectivity and this baby is ready for a road trip.
We didn’t get a chance to test drive one as part of our review, so we can only comment on the specs. But fear not, we’ve included a few links to reviews that did have hands-on time. If any of you have tried out or own an Auto Moto, leave us a comment and let us know what you think.

I'm not sure I'd want people to take note of me driving that thing.
Agreed the styling may not be for everyone, but we still love the design elements and functionality. Plus it might look cooler going 60 mph.
