The Chinese Models have more problems. I also know a 32 year old mother of two who bicycles 24 miles each way on her five day work week except on snow days; then, she rides in with a co-worker and shares fuel cost.<br><b>References : </b><br> If there are no hills, posted speed limits faster than 25, and you

"Best" would be a Honda, Yamaha, or Kymco from a local dealer . . or possibly used from your regional craigslist. "Most economic" (unclear if you mean initial sales price or operating, maintenance, and depreciation costs) would be an online crate scooter purchase. http://www.bandit-motorsports.com/faqs.html<br><b>References : </b><br> At the disadvantage of not knowing your speed requirements, elevation, flat or hilly terrain . . 49cc 4-strokes go around 30 mph and are classified in SOME states as mopeds, and may not require registration or insurance. 150cc 4-strokes go around 60 mph, need to be registered and insured as motorcycles, and require that driver license endorsement.

I would recommend the Bajaj line of scooters. They're Indian, and you can see them all over the place when you're in India. They also get fantastic gas mileage. Also, if you're still set on getting an electric scooter, look at places like AutoZone and PepBoys (where they sell electric scooters, but I really don't know why!) for electric scooters under $1000<br><b>References : </b><br>www.bajajusa.com Hey,

In my case, I purchased a Schwinn Valo 150. I us it for driving back and forth to work. My round trip is just over 20 miles and I stick to the residental streets. This is my first scooter I have ever purchased or driven. I'm a novice like you and still learning the ropes as it were. I originally practiced driving it in a very large parking lot at a local school. Have been lucky enough to say I have not spilled it.

Handles well, good take off from a stop,and plenty of storage under the seat.Plus you can add a trunk box if you need extra storage space. It's averaged about 62 mpg,after the initial break in. It will do highway speeds, but I wouldn't recommend that type of use because it's only about 400 lbs. and the wind would blow you all over. I'm over 200lbs and the scooter will move out fast and get me ahead of the traffic with no problems. I have been riding a 750cc motorcycle for the last 10 years, and the Xciting 250 is by far much easier to ride on around town. KYMCO used to make Honda parts and from all the research I've come across, it seems to be a good brand that cost less than the name brands. The Xciting is water cooled, which is a great thing if you get stuck in some traffic on a hot day, because you won't cook the engine. Only problem I could see for someone is the seat height is pretty tall. I've got a 34" inseam and can touch down both feet comfortably, much shorter than 32" you will be on your toes at a stop. The believe the new EFI version has a slightly shorter seat height.This scooter comes with a 2 year warranty and some dealers will sell you an extended.<br><b>References : </b><br> I've been riding a 2007 KYMCO Xciting 250 for the past 4 weeks and it's great.

Any cycle can be stolen by 4 guys and two 4 x 4's. Use a simple hidden audible motion detector ( hidden). The modern scooter is a work of art. I love the Suzuki Burgman 400 but it is a little pricey @$5500ish new. At 3K there are several 250s to choose from. Pick from a major brand, do not go near the new cheap stuff. Cheap is cheap, period; then you;re stuck with it. Vespa is excellent but a little pricey ( u get what u pay for). Now a cycle - I think you'll do better on a 250 cycle even though you will have to learn to shift. Big deal, take a riders course. I think you'll be able to recoup some of your money easier from a used cycle than a used scooter (bigger market).<br><b>References : </b><br> I would prefer a cycle to a scooter.
