Small gas scooter (link): has anyone ever used something like this for commuting 10 miles a day?

Question

http://yhst-14938104255359.stores.yahoo.net/xg49elstfaga.html

It is a small, gas powered scooter. If the link doesn't work for you, it is the kind that looks like a kick scooter. It is 49cc, but I'm not sure if this would last very long I also am not sure what to expect in terms of mechanical failure, frequency of flat tires, level of difficulty in changing / repairing flat tires, etc.

Answer 1

Consider an actual street-legal 49cc moped type scooter . . check your regional craigslist > for sale > motorcycles/scooters.

Answer 2

They are toys.  Not dependable and not cheaply repaired when broken.

Good Luck...
