I've been wanting a scooter for a while. So finally I traded an old suv for a little pink 49cc 2 stroke for my wife. Then I went to the local dealer and put a down pmt on a Qlink Pegasus for me. I have not got the Q home yet. The dealer was leaving on a vacation so have to wait till he's back. We love to camp so we figure the scooters will be a blast there. I would love to ride mine to work ,but it's 25 miles one way so we'll see. My other ride is a Ford F-350 V-10 ,gets a consistant 11 mpg. I figure the Q will do a little better than that. So I'm reading everything I can here to learn what I can about scooting. Great site btw, I'm addicted already. Any advice for a 1st time 50 yr old scooter owner is appreciated.

Welcome Smitty: I am new to the forum to. Been lurking for months and just signed up last week. I have not purchased yet, am still in the research stage concerning 49cc or 150cc and what make. My commute to work is only 7 miles rountrip on 30 and 40mph city streets. I have A Chevy Silverado about 15mph but it still hurts to fill it. We camp also and I figured the scoot would come along. I was just at a camper show here and they had a new Sabre by Palamino and it had a slide out bumper with rack perfect for carrying a scooter. I just bought my camper 2 years ago so the wife said no go  but I'll figure soemthing out when I get the scoot. I just turned 50 also must be the in thing to do is look at scoots...lol..... |
