US1 Scooter Club: Modified Yamaha MIO Amore

For this week we are featuring a Modified Yamaha MIO Amore built with hard work
and patience by Archie Lamberte of US1 Scooter Club.  Archie has been working as a seaman
for 7 years as a chief cook and during his tours last year he got inspiration
to modify his old Yamaha MIO Amore Archie wanted to achieve the 3 headlight look
like the MIO Soul 4. After that he installed "Bikers" accessories to enhance the look
of the bike.  He also wanted to show-case the engine thus he opted to go for the naked
drag scoot look. One of the challenges  he encountered during his bike build was integrating
parts not for the Yamaha MIO. He used grab bar carriers from a Kawasaki KLX150,
a step board from a Yamaha Fino and a rear footrest for a Kawasaki KSR110.
He had to custom machine to merge them flawlessly with the scoot's overall
concept.

Archie outsourced his parts and accessories from DDM Motor Parts and ZIPP Racing Motors.
Underscoot Zone helped him with the engine modifications.  While his friends Gelvin
Deiparine and Joshua Villarias helped him with the build and assembly. The sleek
paint job was with the help of Alexander Pada and the flame airbrush art was
by Franco Harbay Jagape. For the lighting works he was assisted by FX Mode
Allan Fernandez.
