Spiderman rides a scooter at the beginning of the movie, which gets trashed at some point. It’s really cute though, and I’d like to know what kind it is. Does anyone out there know? Thanks

Dang, I want one of those, that is even cooler looking up close - and if you run out of gas it looks like you can pedal…
