Gas Scooters?

[Martin]

So I'm thinking of getting one, as it sounds very cool and useful. But I wanted to ask some of you guys what your experience has been with them.

Also, how fuel effience are they? I expect 1L to last about 80-90km, is that accurate?

You would look Dorky. But expect 50+ MPG.

I swear these little fvcking scooters that are everywhere, that make a lawnmower sound as the kids race up and down the street, are going to drive me insane and I'll end up killing someone.

dorkier than I would on a bicycle (which I ride very often)?


And are they very loud or loud, but bearable?

the fact that you even question it makes you a dork.

Bikes are better. They aren't as loud, aren't as costly, and they're better for your health.

I was thinking about making one out of an old 10 horse tiller engine. It would fly.

....and, easier to control, more maneuverable, more comfortable, can be pedaled if the engine quits, etc.

Do you mean like this? Or are you talking about one of those Razor Scooters with a tiller motor slapped on?

 

[Martin]

just to clarify, these are what I'm talking about

Also, I could use a bike to get to school and back, but it would cost me the same (for a nice bike), would take me longer and would have me sweating like hell for 15 mins after I stop pedalling.

lmao. Buy one, I wanna laugh at you.
