The really fun stuff is when the scooter driver discovers that scooters don’t handle hills very well, especially if you are packing a few extra pounds. Pretty soon, you are chugging along at 15 mph in a 35 zone

That depends on the scooter. You know they make 650cc scooters that will do well over 100mph now, right?

I never recommend 50cc bikes for anybody, but for an average person a 125-150cc scooter is just fine. My Yamaha Vino 125 gets > 90mpg and can do 60mph on the flat, 45-50mph up a steep hill.
