Coolness of a scooter/moped?

Question

So with the rising gas prices, how un-cool is it to get a moped to ride by myself around town, go to school, work, and to friends?

Answer 1

I have an E-Bike scooter. People love it .It cost 25 cents /100 km for power.

that is 60 miles for metriphobes

Answer 2

skip the moped, but the scooter has a good following!

also, by myself, with my patch jacket on, I do not feel intimidated at all.

Go rent "Quadrophenia" and let me know if scooters are cool...

Answer 3

Actually lots of people think they are cool.  And given that you can get anywhere from 50 to 90 mpg out of a scooter- I wouldn't be concerned about image.
