I am proud to say that I ride a Twist N Go 50cc scooter whenever it is nice enough to ride. I ride through town and never need to go over 35 and ride less than 2 miles each way. It is great jumping on it and just twisting the throttle and go. I don't feel too bad about not wearing a helmet or long pants (I do when I ride my America) I rarely go out of town, so the America is used very little and the scooter very often. I get at least double the mileage on the scooter also! I fully recommend getting a small little scooter if you don't need to go over 35 or 40!
