Wouldn't It Be Fun?
I've always wanted one -they seem like so much fun. You can "scoot" to and fro with ease, enjoy fuel economy, be care-free about parking space, and be good for the planet -all at once.
What a Deal!
*** Update, 2 Jan. 2009: I GOT ONE !! (see below) ***
Find me on MySpace and Yuwie.
Think About It
- Better fuel consumption.
- Less emissions / polution.
- Very versatile.
- Will take you further than the typical bicyle (unless off course, you're one of those amazing people that cycle everywhere they go)
- Good alternative and complement to bus, bicyle, walking, light rail, car-pooling.
- Ease of parking.
- Slow down pace of life a little.
- Gives you a chance to enjoy the scenery.
- Opens up new social avenues.
- Fun, Fun, Fun!

Do You Own A Scooter?
Ok, But What's The Real Story Here?
Facts and figures.
Let's find out a little more for each category. Read on.
Gas Consumption
What can you expect?
With gas hovering around the $4 a gallon mark, any incentive to use less will feel good on the wallet.
(Buy at AllPosters.com)
- Scooters travel 50-70 MPG on average.
- Driving a scooter costs less than half the cost of driving an automobile. Estimated saving is 58 %
- The Vespa scooter approx. doubles the MPG of the Toyota Camry (probably the most popular car in the U.S) and seven times more MPG than a Hummer.
- The Vespa also beats the Toyota Prius hybrid car by more than 15 MPG on average.
Emissions
Do your part to help the planet
If we are to truly reduce emissions, we cannot wait for car manufacturers to get their you-know-what in gear and do it for us (their interests are too tide up in oil). We must be active in our choices of transportation.(Buy at AllPosters.com)
- Vespas and similar scooters reduce emissions by approximately.40 lbs/mile vs. the average car.
- For 15,000 miles per year, that's approx. 6,000 lbs of emmissions, or a 65% reduction.
- Vespas offer a reduction of 1,500 lbs of carbon dioxide emissions if compared to a hybrid vehicle.

Tell It Like It Is
... enquiring minds want to know
Some people love it, some laugh about it, some wouldn't touch one with a ten foot pole. Where do you find yourself on the spectrum?
Scooters are more and more popular. Sales have risen several hundred percents in the past couple of years -and for good reason, with most folks looking for ways to cut back on expenses.
Are you a fan of scooters? Why of why not? Do you own/ride? Tell us here.
Fetching blurbs now... please stand byYes, I'm all for scooters and other light transportation.
No thanks, not really my thing. Cars are more convenient.
