Those of you who were at the Battleground stop of the Razor Exposed Tour may have seen this luxurious scooter rolling around. Owned by Justin Wharton of JJW, this scooter is plated in gold flake. According to Justin, "It's most all 22 karat, with some old school gold for the rest, but almost everything is 22k." Price range on this thing? The golden setup costs about $410 for just the parts, plus another 300 or so for the gold plating. So that comes out to an estimated cost of 710 dollars. While technically I'm sure you could build a more expensive scooter, this one is definitely one of the most valuable I've ever seen. Justin is running an Ambush deck, bars, and titanium brake, Yak Fleur wheels, a Phoenix Phorx, ceramic bearings, and an FSA impact headset.
Also, check out some new clips that Justin got recently, riding the gold scoot:
