It's pretty sweet. I rode it home from the dealership (about 10 miles) and the wife took it up to the grocery store to pick up a few things. Great gas mileage (about 100 mpg). Easy and fun to drive. She's going to use it to drive to her work each day (about 5 miles). We'd had concerns about safety, but we tested out a route today that is almost all residential and 35 mph zones.
We're pretty excited and proud that we didn't take on a second car payment and the environmental hit that would result from the 2nd car. We don't really need 2 cars. The last 4 months with just 1 car has proven that. Adding the scooter to the mix will give me some scheduling flexibility with my clients as I don't have to take the wife to work or her to the bank for her daily deposits. On days where my clients are close by, I'll probably take the scooter. I feel so European.

Sweet........
Very nice.
Now I want one.
There's a lot of people in Chicago who have scooters now. You've certainly got the good weather to use it year round. very cool.
John thinks you should take a motorcycle road safety class though. You'd be surprised how many drivers just have NO idea how to drive around two-wheeled vehicles.
I think taking a class is a requirement for licensing out here. The dealership recommended someone to us.
Ohhh, so you're driving without a license eh? filthy lawbreaker.
" ... filthy lawbreaker" - he-he. Maybe, maybe not. I've read and heard conflicting rules. It's either under 100cc or 50cc where you do not need a motorcycle endorsement on your license. We're getting that sorted out today.
How fast does that thing go?
The wife has had it up to 50. It rides comfortably about 35-45.
That's awesome! But I'd need training wheels (and / or chains) for five months of the year here in WI! ;-)
