Scooter VRS. Motorbike--- GO!

Scooter wins on everything, except speed, and ability to travel on the interstate highways.
Check out this 1 minute video.
AM I RIGHT?
At least where I live I don't have to pay property taxes, have a special license, or even insure my scooter. But I could get insurance if I wanted.
Motorcycles are harder to fix, cost a crap ton of money, huge insurance cost, property tax.... and well. they go fast and can drive on the highway.

In high school a friend had a moped. It was awesome. It only went about 35 mph.

Yeah... It's just so economical and for getting around town locally it can't be beat.
I'm lucky enough to have a vehicle if I need to travel on the highway!

Holy fox? how many cc's? They have to be 49cc here to be legal without all the property taxes. They are basically classified as bicycles.

It used to work like that for 49 cc mopeds here, but now the only option for an insurance free motorized road vehicle is an electric bike.

Damn, really?- That sucks. HOWEVER- I've heard those electric bikes are great. Just a little pricey maybe.
I have a 45cc chainsaw that I want to convert my bike into a chainsaw powered bicycle.

That would be epic! They used to turn lawnmowers into go carts in my day.

I have a 250cc motorcycle for commuting
Pay about €20 a month for insurance and taxes. Does 29kms to a liter
I quite like it. Practicality isn't everything.

It's actually relatively easy, and simple. Just put it into youtube. There's at least 10 well done tutorials on how to use a chainsaw to make a motorized bicycle, and expand the gas tank and everything.
Only problem is they are kind of loud... but fuck it!
