Scooters were a bit of a stepping stone into motorcycles for me. I wanted cheap transport with a low purchase price, without stomaching $300 and a full training weekend. Back in college, I found a Honda metropolitan that was lightly used, in good running condition, and $550. Throw in a jacket, helmet and gloves and I was up and riding for under $1000. It's hard to describe how much that simple, slow and *cough* cute bike changed my life in college. I was working 30 hours a week, had about a 20 minute commute to work or school, and was very, very frugal. What started as an escape from burning gas and time in my car became my favorite part of the day. I found slower backroads to ride my scooter safely in traffic, left early, and felt revitalized every time I'd hop on the thing. One of the best parts was that even though it took longer to get to school, I saved a good 10 minutes finding a parking spot and walking to my classes. In Colorado, I could legally park in the bike rack. I surely recouped the purchase price of the scooter and gear between gas savings and parking passes. I cannot recommend enough how much fun it is to ride a scooter instead of a car. These days I've transitioned to motorcycles, but I'd hop on a scooter in a heartbeat!

Yep ive got a zuma here in Mile Hi. Routefinding is part of the fun and free parking downtown combined with super cheap commuting make the scooter first choice for downtown runs.

I was surprised he just said "Vespa" and "Aprilia." They're both subbrands of Piaggio in the same way "Scion" and "Lexus" are subbrands of Toyota.

50cc mopeds are great urban warriors and good starters, but I just want to put my thought in. IT'S WORTH DOING THE MSF TO GET A HIGHER CC MOPED!!! For North American Roads, I use a 125CC Honda Supercub and wow it's so much better being able to go 55-65mph. That way I'm not getting trampled by traffic at 35mph at max RPM blowing out my eardrums! EDIT: Guys, I have motorcycles too...I just love scooters also. This isn't a mind blowing concept. IDGAF about "biker image". I ride whatever I like. I've done the MSF literally years ago. I don't understand the pissing contest that formed about needing to ride higher CC bikes. Who cares? I own a 1868CC M8 Softail that rides more like a piece of junk compared to my bro's ZX10R with almost half the displacement. Bikes are charming in all sizes, so just ride what you enjoy and let others ride what they enjoy...but my comment has proven a misconception about scooter owners...so maybe wave at a Scooter Rider next time.

Back then, it was responsible for bringing in all those mopeds that keep on turning up in barns and garages. Just a note: the absurd customisability of the Ruckus has lead to the creation of underseat storage mods. One of the most basic is a series of elastic-net panels on the sides and front.

About twenty years ago, I rarely saw other people on scooters and mopeds. Now, my 49cc Scooters are cool! I have three of them. One is a Honda Metropolitan, with the trunk on the back. It is my favorite, super smooth, and 125 miles per gallon. One is a Genuine Buddy scooter, also with the trunk. I just added the trunk.. The buddy is a fast two-stroke, 47 mies per hour on a flat road! The other one is a new Tao-Tao, slow and junk, but it rides nice, and I really just have it for friends to ride. For super cheap it is actually pretty good. It pushes 100 miles per gallon. When the wether is bad and for great fun and hauling people or objects, I have a Toyota 4-door 4x4 truck.

I personally loved using the mid-way option: not the 50cc zippers, not the heavy and comfortable 700cc maxi-scooters, but a 150cc one. It was the PCX150 (mine was made in Vietnam). It was delightful. Super comfortable, completely shielding, not ostentatious or ridiculous, not laughably small or crassly large; sedate, but nimble. It had the traffic start-stop function and the engine that would start in quarter of a second, it had a huge trunk. Yeah, it wasn't very dynamic and topped off hard at 69 mph, which sucked for highways. But in a city, it was the kind of machine you FORGOT that you're even riding. Sit, go, maneuver, stop, get up. Refuel once a week or two.

It is up for the reader to decide if the trade-offs are worth it, but you would be saving, on average, about $2 USD a day on fuel costs.

[@fetchstixRHD]

If anything, considering the previous video they did saying that it would be better to electrify mopeds than higher power motorbikes (and with most of the points aligned with -them- mopeds being accessible to car drivers)… The point made about these being equivalent to electric cars is a fair one, but the real comparison imo should be between a petrol/diesel car to an electric motor scooter 🛵 as that’s the choice I think most people would have to make, and the prices between battery electric and petrol powered scooters are much closer…

[@GewelReal]

And it not being an ICE means you can legally bring it inside your house/flat

[@TheNone724]

Electric mopeds can also feel like 250cc motorcycle because electric motors are rated at continuous power and not peak power. In EU electric moped can have 4 kW continuous motor but those motors can make about 20 kW of peak power during acceleration beating 90% of cars at lights :D

A decade ago while living in the Miami area, I decided that instead of a second car, we’d get a scooter. The weather is pretty much scooter-friendly throughout the year and its main purpose was to get me to my carpool pickup site. When my peers showed up in their jacked-up 4X4s, Mopar big-blocks, and even mini vans, I was frankly laughed at. Fast forward to the market crash of 2008 and gas prices were approaching $4 USD a gallon. The laughs about the scooter subsided abruptly and a number of out-of-ear-shot discussions were suddenly cropping up with my carpool mates regarding the cost of running a scooter. For $1200 to buy a scooter, $20 USD monthly to insure it, and $10 a month in gas… the joke was not as funny anymore and became a serious consideration.

@@andrewweitzman4006 That is unfortunate. The best thing about the Cub IMO would be its varieties that cater for specific needs like for deliveries or being used in mountainous roads. Each one is design to fulfill certain needs without breaking over a long period of time

Top notch videos, humor, production value, camera angles, dialog. Very fun and informative to watch. Thanks for making these Ryan and crew!

Another wonderful gem from F9. A data crystal, in fact. Beautiful to look at, but containing much data in excellent quality as well. Solid work, folks. You do consistently great work, and it is much appreciated.

A great video as always. The last scene about thinking outside the box says it all in regard to saving on fuel costs or whatever else is rationalized about scooters -- ride the scooter (or motorcycle) when you can instead of taking the car or truck. It's cheaper and more fun. I commuted back and forth to work on my Vespa scooter (44K miles) for 15 years. All year round in all sorts of weather. And I suppose it's why my 2003 Honda van (75K miles) and 2011 Honda Fit (42K miles) are still going strong with no need to spend money on something new. Besides, the Vespa looks far better in videos on my channel!

I would also suggest the Honda Navi. 109cc, great mileage, automatic and a built in trunk area under the tank.

Fuel efficiency- yes Mileage- no

Ive got one of those here in India since the last 5 years. Its a brilliant little machine

[@pleasedontwatchthese9593]

that thing is really great value for money if you can find one

[@lukazupie7220]

So like 99% of all scooters?😀
