How to Open the Seat on a Vino Scooter
The Yamaha Vino Scooter is a retro-style scooter with a four-stroke engine,
telescopic front fork and a front disc brake. In addition, it gets about 96 miles on one gallon of gas and has pollution-reducing exhaust technology. One of the greatest features is a large seat that accommodates two riders and has a large storage space underneath. The storage compartment is large and lockable, which means you can store your full-face helmet inside the scooter instead of carrying it with you. Here is how to open the seat on the Vino scooter to access the storage compartment.
