The main points are all hit. The style, performance, and affordability of these beauties are all definitely selling points -- affordable not just to purchase but to maintain, fuel, repair, and insure. Rental or home insurance will most likely cover this 49cc scooter for theft. In many states, as in KY, no insurance, registration, or license is required. The cons can be discouraging to those who need to transport a bunch, however, at least consider whether occasionally renting or borrowing a larger vehicle when required would be much cheaper and more environmentally preferable. Finally, never underestimate the fun factor of scooting around in the summer and staying cool and mobile. Traffic standstills almost never apply to scooter-riders, either! ;)
