I just got passed a couple minutes ago by a Smart Fourtwo. That's what I would like to have for city driving.

Could you fit in one? I doubt if it would be comfortable for you. Sorry!

 

This was too good not to copy in total........ from AE

 

You would be better off with a Civic. Better gas mileage and it's practical. The MPG for the Smart for two is 32MPG.

 

^^^ He sounds like a car guy, Dave!

Are we to think that China is slowly moving into a four-wheeler age while in the US we are regressing back to mini two-wheelers?

I think if I were to go for another motorized two wheeler, I'd still want a vehicle powerful enough to get me out of trouble when I needed some grunt to avoid disaster!

 

Bill, IMO I think a scooter should be out of the question. Sure gas is going up and up but when you compare the cost of a gallon of fuel to what you are earning is it really worth taking a chance.

 

Mr. Bill,

I have had a 1982 C70 Honda Passport for three or four years now. I have only put 900 miles on it since I bought it. It is not quite alternate transportation. It runs 48 - 50 MPH downhill, about 45 MPH on level ground, and 28 MPH uphill. It is just a fun toy. I think I would get more use out of a little bigger scooter like the 250cc Honda Helix or Reflex.

We are in a suburb about 25 miles out of downtown Atlanta so the traffic is a bit intimidating here. Maybe in a more rural setting it would be more useful, but it would take a while to cover any distance.

 

I don't know much about scooters or motorcycles, but what about a moped? They are like scooters but they also have pedals so you can ride it even without gas. Do they still make those?

 

The newest breed of scooters .....

 

I've been thinking about one of these .......

40mpg- 4wd- and it will run 60mph and they deliver
