Answer 2

I would get a vespa like scooter (a knock off because they are just as nice and half the price!) I bought a 50 cc engine and it get 80 MPG fuel so I rarely ever fill up. The scooter cost $875 at http://www.xtrememinimotors.com but I saw that they are on sale now for $859 right now!! They shipped it to my house and were really helpful! I didnt need any special license except my driver's license and its great for tooling around on campus!!!

Answer 3

Not enough information to effectively advise you so I'll make a general statement.

For daily driving on urban streets exceeding 35 mph I'd recommend a minimum scooter engine displacement of 125cc. Scoots in the 125-150cc class generally require motorcycle licenses in the US. They are economical to operate, exceed 70 mpg and 55+ mph and, depending on brand and dealer, very reliable.

Brands I recommend: Vespa, Genuine, Kymco, Piaggio

Answer 4

I would recommend Kymco or Hyosung and Genuine and Buddy. From 50cc to 500cc get good mileage are reliable and not imported junk. You just need to look at them for yourself. I own a Kymco Venox and it is a great ride.
