    #14409562 - 05/06/11 10:49 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

got a few hundred bucks laying around, gas prices are going up, and i like the idea of cruising through town on a scooter......

anyone know how much i should expect to pay for a used scooter? what kinds are better/faster than others? any tips?

never bought a skooter/moped before (rode a few of my friends, enjoyed it :-D) .... wondering if there are any skooter fans out there with tips? dont wanna get ripped and i wanna skooter than will do at least 35-40

You're gonna need at least 5 or 8 hundo to get something that's reliable and does that speed.

Save 2 grand and get a used motorcycle.

I missed the used part, but still just read up on the link I posted and see for yourself, I'm no expert.  If you can get the license then motorcycles go faster, get better mileage, and are way more fun.  Not to mention the pussy magnet effect.

a motorcycle will get better mileage than a vespa?  what the fuck are you smoking?  if fuel efficiency is your aim, a solid scooter/moped/vespa cannot be beat.  them bitches can get upwards of 110mpg, but tend to average 'round 75mpg or so.

i wish i could offer advice on what to look for, but i can't.  i haven't any experience with scooters.  however, i do fully support your decision to get one.  they're convenient, efficient, and perfect for short town trips.  with gas prices going to the they are, it seems unlikely that we as americans will be able to hold onto this silly social stigma regarding mopeds much longer.

I think hes right. Look up vintage mopeds and thats pretty much what comes up.
Prolly find an old one and just fix it up real nice and paint it a badass color. Im now looking into these mopeds :super:

I think it varys from state to state but i know in my state you don't need a motorcycle license for it if you can also peddle it.
