 rocketman > I live in Moultrie, Georgia which is in the southern part of the state. Shorts and a Tee plus some flip flops with a Helmet to protect my noggin is all I need. The short distances around town for groceries and doctor visits plus the occasional pleasure ride don't really require so much gear. During the winter months you will need a jacket and gloves however, they are just too hot during the summer, spring, and fall unless it's chilly out. Just be very aware of the other drivers and drive very defensively. I have a 49.3cc Rocketa YMC-16K-50 which I have made some slight modifications to. High Performance Carb. $40.00, High Performance CDI $30.00, High Performance, Coil and plug wire $25.00, High Performance plug $18.00 plus, I only run  Octane fuel and got it to increase from 35mph to 43mph around town, which is plenty fast. I average between  and 125mpg depending on where I am and what the conditions of the terrain and roads are. My scooter is also a 2 seater with a 330lbs weight load. I have under the seat storage as well as a large trunk. Check out a smaller scooter if you don't need to go any faster than 35 or modified to go a bit faster.

I have a China scooter and it has been perfectly fine, other than having to readjust the valves which took a minute to figure out. This is a very common occurrence as the scooter dealerships often do not properly pre-inspect the scooters before delivery like they are supposed to do. The thing to remember is, China scooters are a lot cheaper to fix in as far as, parts are concerned. Plus, you can find loads of helpful tips and videos on how to repair any issues that arise which are normally very minor with the typical GY6 motor. The GY6 is your base engine and as far as I am concerned one of the best if not the best scooter motor going. Parts are readily available for any repair issues or performance modifications you would want to do, and at very affordable prices, but always shop around. Check the availability of parts and read the fine print of any warranties prior to purchase. I took 3 months to decide which scooter to purchase, and it was the best one for the money and performance, as well as the reliability that I found.
