i think a 50cc scooter is a bad idea, imagine how many idiots would try and bring them down major freeways. I mean a vehicle that maxes out at 60km/h in a 100km/h zone? No worries so as long as your going over a CLIFF you'll be able to keep up just fine, otherwise it'd be accidents abound.
I think It would have to be something like 125cc scooters to even be remotely safe on our roads.!

i agree, maybe make it 15 even. I think i read somewhere thats what they have in Italy.Felix wrote:
I would actually like to see 16 year olds being able to ride 50cc scooters. For one, that is about a year earlier than you'd be able to get a car, and the average 16 year old could probably afford a scooter these days. They'd learn road rules, be more mobile, but importantly they'd get to experience what it is like to be vulnerable. Might help adjust some attitudes...

Get'm all on 125 two-smokes, they'll either learn to ride or die.
(I'm planning to get a 2-smoke weekend bike sometime in the future)
