Scooter Motorcycle
Should i get a motorcycle or scooter?
I need either a motorcycle or scooter. I drive a regular car to work everyday which is only about 5 miles away. I am spending way too much on gas to go to work and would love to ride something.
I want to be reasonably safe (as safe as it can get outside a car) and cheapish. Vespas and Honda Rebels are both about 2k.
I want good gas mileage. I dont drive TOO much. And if needed I could take my car to farther places.
Which do you suggest? I want a Vespa but everyone says a motorcycle is safer and more practical?
I have about five years experience driving scooters but have recently moved to motorcycling. I will instantly expel the myth here and now that bikes are safer than scooters or vice versa…. It’s the rider that is safe; the vehicle is just a vehicle.
I recommend getting a 50 or 125cc scooter. My reasoning for this is because you get to enjoy being on two wheels with a convenient storage compartment and in many scooter models, you also get built in security normally in the form of an immobiliser.
If you are smart, you will get a French scooter such as for instance a Peugeot Elystar 125cc that features really good linked ABS breaks, an immobiliser and also a built in chain / boa lock. You get nice storage capacity under the seat and the overall build quality of the vehicle is pretty good. The vehicles potential top speed is around 65 to 70 mph and depending on how you drive it, will probably achieve around 90mpg. I owned one by the way!
If you want convenience – get a Peugeot Elystar 125cc
If you want to look cool – get a Rebel 125cc
If you want fun – get a Cagiva Mito 125cc

Scooter (Motorcycle) $66.91 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A scooter is a motorcycle with stepthrough architecture and either a platform for the operators feet or footrests integral with the bodywork. Elements of scooter design have been noted in some of the earliest motorcycles, and motorcycles identifiable as scooters have been made from 1914 or earlier. Regional developments were made in Europe and the United States between the World Wars. The global popularity of scooters dates from the postWorld War II introductions of the Vespa and the Lambretta. Economic and political factors, including competition from other vehicles, have shaped the evolution of scooters and have caused the development of different variations of scooter.
