Enviro Green AND Fun!

While I am interested in health and exercise, I am also very interested in trying to be as environmentally green as I can. For example: I drive a Honda, I like to recycle, and I try to ride my bike instead of drive my car when I can. But sometimes, I need to be able to get somewhere quickly and my legs just can not pedal that fast. What, besides a car, can do that?

A scooter. Scooters are fairly green, considering they get around 100 miles to the gallon, they come in a clean 2 stroke, or a 4 stroke and are fun to ride. They are also nice because they can be parked anywhere: on the sidewalk, in motorcycle parking or small places. For those who commute to campus or work, they are great because parking passes are usually much cheaper than for a car.

My favorite scooter out there is made by Genuine called the Buddy. The Buddy is a fun and quite small scooter that comes in a rainbow of colors to choose from. They have an under-the-seat storage compartment, a car charger and come in 50 cc's and 125 cc's. For those that don't know the difference in 50 and 125 cc's, the smaller one is legal without a motorcycle license and gets up to aroudn 35 mph, while the 125 cc gets up to aroudn 70 mph, but does require a license.

How about a couple more links about scooters in general, not just to the sites about the specific models?
