    Anyone drive a scooter?

    I'm considering buying a 125 or a 150 Scooter for my daily commute, just wondering if anyone had any recommendations.

    This is the Buddy 125 I am considering. With this I would average 90+ miles to the gallon verses the 14 mpg I'm getting now.



    Think B.A. Where did you hide the Megos?

        Get a small motorcycle instead, much cooler.

          I was thinking about getting one, too, and have been for years. That's the model I was looking at, too. I'm just paranoid about being hit.

          More people seem to be driving them with the gas prices being where they are.

              Same here. My cars gas tanks are eating up my pay checks.
              Lo there do I see my Father.
              Lo there do I see my Mother and my Sisters and my Brothers.
              Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the begining.
              Lo they do call me.
              They bid me take my place among them.

                I used to have one when my car broke down a few years back, it was fantastic on gas mileage, I was still using it when I got my car back but winter came and that was a different story. Go ahead and get it.

                  I agree and will have more juice to get you out of close calls.

                    The Buddy doesn't sound too shabby. Stay away from the cheap Chinese or Korean bikes. The price tag on the Buddy is getting close to some 250cc motorcycles, you can get a used Rebel for $1500-$2000.
                    Whatever you pick it's better than another car, and more fun too. My "scoot" is a little larger, but loads of fun.

                            I was thinking about an electric one. Saw this hog at Wal-Mart:
