Scooter Rescue The Buddy Rides Again!

[@UMWCircle1]

Do you think this scooter is big enough for a man 5'11 230 ???

If you live in a relatively flat area, a stock buddy 50 will do fine zipping around town at 230 lbs. It's the hills that kill ya. I live in a pretty hilly area (I'm 210 lbs) and found it to be under powered and dangerous for me to ride... Not being able to leave anything alone... I put a 70cc Malossi sport big bore kit and a sport exhaust on it and it and I keep up with traffic (if not passing cars) on the biggest hills around... If you can find a deal on a buddy 125 or 175... That may be the way to go, if you are not up for modifying a 50... The wife and I graduated to Vespa 150s (that we love) but believe it or not, the Buddy was more fun to ride... Very light weight and nimble...
