The new Gas power scooters are much more powerful than the old ones.

The new 4 stroke engines are more powerful and get very good gas mileage.  The new Vespa Scooter LX150 I have gets around 80 mpg and is still braking in so I am sure it will get better.  I line up with cars and they think because I am on a scooter I don’t have much power but when I twist the throttle the little vespas engine comes to life.   

The only thing with riding a scooter is you have to be very careful of other cars this is true with any scooter or motorcycle.  A new website is going to be offering gas powered scooters vespa vintage scooters completely restored like new http://www.vespa-scooters.us
