For that cash I can just have a motorcycle or an e-bike. Why would I want a scooter in this case? Not dissing on scooters, I don't get it though. Bikes and motorocyles are a lot more stable at speed than scooters.
OH YOU MEAN A MOPED... not a Lime Scooter. OK... we're on the same page.
Yeah I'll keep rocking my FJR but I'd do a e-moped if I had rides around my house, tho for that an e-bike is more compelling. FJR oddly gets 40+mpg.
- wonder_er 4y agoHah! I wonder how many other people have made the same mistake. There's really not a great word for this class of vehicle. I have been tempted to use the word 'moped', but got sternly corrected by the staff at sportique scooters when I was last there. I think I might keep using the word moped though, motor scooter doesn't quite do it, and scooter is too confusing. Or maybe I could say 'gas scooter' or '125cc scooter' or something. I recently crossed paths with the the electric moped I met in the wild, and it was beautiful and quiet. I'm not going to get rid of my 170cc scooter anytime soon, but I would totally consider adding an electric moped to the fleet.

- wonder_er 4y agoBoom. Perfect. This is the word I needed. Calling myself a vespa broker'. Thanks!
