You stand on 'em like a scooter. They got around the dunes pretty good.

What a funny post this is. These guys on their stand up scooters were camped next to us at Coral Pink one weekend. If I remember correctly the red one had a 400ex quad motor in it and the white one definately had a CR500 motor.
These were hand made 100% custom. They were on a trip back from the Bonneville Salt Flats testing grounds where they did 103MPH (2005) on the white one two times in a row setting a land speed record for the type of vehicle. NUTS !!! :-o
I looked up the records and it looks to be 99MPH (2004). Check this article http://www.inventionshow.com/17_inv_community/200409/02_extreme_scooter.asp
Another for 2006 http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Article_Page.aspx?ArticleID=3932&Page=1
The tires are standard quad rubber and the suspension was pretty good looking for them. The white one was fast and kicked up a serious roost. I think my back would end up killing me after about 30 minutes of riding those things since I would be hunched over with no cushy KX5 seat to sit on.
Definately a conversation piece.... Sly
