Hi all newbie garyj first reply post, I've owned 4 scooters, & now working out the kinks of vibrations, chain alignment & carb issues on my 68cc ten speed bike.Here
In myrtle beach, scooters, 50cc to 150cc run freely around without tags, insurance or bike licenses
I'd like to address the questions & comments above since I've been working them out for about a year now.Fast eddie asks about scooter & MB differences. I have both & they both have issues, but are not at all similar.
even cheap 50cc chinese scooters Roketa , peace, etc, go 40+decently tuned, have elec start,CVT,lights, signals,average cost $1000.00. MB's like happy valley has said are a natural to people who love bikes, pedal, engine on or off, get a workout or relax. But here is my humble point of view. My motored bike is a bit noisy, vibrates, surges, needs strict tightening of its bolts, chain alignment is ultra critical to safety. So there is almost no similarity in my opinion. I'm happy to have the MB because it's RAW speed, mine goes 39MPH give or take, safe cruising is 24-29??
I think you have to just love your MB maintenance & all, or go the scooter route.
If i had to license/tag/insure my scooter my opinion would still be the same,
Vibration & comfort limit me to about 15-45 minutes before my arms hurt on my MB
The scooter is much smoother, and more money.
