Howdy all, My name is Steve and I live in Riverside, CA. I work in Moreno Valley so 10 miles one way, 20 miles round trip 5 days a week and some mileage while working. I have been spending roughly around $220 a month in gas and newly married I am trying to figure out how to cut the cost. I stopped at the gas station one day to fill up my car and there was a guy there driving a scooter and filling up as well. It cost me $50 to fill up and cost him $6.35 …….. !!!!!!!! I started talking to the scooter guy and was tell me that he only spends around $20 to $25 a month on gas. He had a Chinese brand scooter but I couldn't remember the brand. So after really thinking about it and having a conversation with my wife the hunt for a scooter began. I’ve been looking at different scooter companies both name brand and Chinese. After looking around I have found the scooter I am going to buy. I will be purchasing this scooter late February. BMS Kerrigan 150TI like to support local stores and my local dealer can get this one for me and a good price. I have been trying to find reviews or some other information about this scooter. What you guys think about this scooter?

My experience with scooters go like this: Commodity Chinese scooters are cheap, but require frequent work in addition to normal maintenance. Top shelf scooters are expensive to buy, but rarely need work other than normal maintenance. Doing for yourself lowers costs immensely, having others costs dearly for both commodity Chinese and top shelf scooters. If you aren't comfortable with hand tools and aren't familiar with small engines, Get a top shelf motor scooter with a nearby shop to do the work or be willing to pay the tuition learning how.

howdy and welcome to the forum. I also recommend a more top shelf scoot especially if it is critical that you arrive at work reliably and on time.
lotsa miles and smiles to ya ken
