Anybody know anything about 50cc scooters? Good? Bad? Ugly? The kid wants one cause he can ride around town without a license.

If you can find a good shape, older Honda, he can keep it for a few years and maybe even make money.

They can do about 50km/hr or so.

I have friends that ride them around in Revelstoke. Good for around town. Buddy has a yamaha, they are pretty much bullet proof.


Cheap on gas, you can get big bore kits and exhaust for them too if you ever want a bit more jam.

I ported and put a pipe on a yamaha 2stroke scooter a few years back. It would do about 85km/hr after lol.

Many miles Iv put on a 125 cc. Riding double with packs took us all over. Very impressed with them, a 50 cc might be on the light side but still capable.

the rule 30 years ago was a person could drive them with a learners licence on the streets if they were under 50cc . So a few buddies had them at 14 and drove them around St. Albert when I was young.

I wouldn’t want my kid driving one in Edmonton or on any road with the speed limit above 60. Be ok around stony or something. But it’s only a matter of time until they are trying to jump it at the skate park!

I had 2 Yamaha BWS scoots they were bullet proof. I would look at getting one of them

Battery Boss in Red Deer sells these. No license required. They can rebuild all the batteries for the daymak brand so your not stuck with a paper weight when the batteries crap out.

There's a couple of people at our campsite that have the electric scooters. Plug them in for a few hours and good for the week of cruising.
I tried one of them and I was pretty impressed, for what it is.
Thinking about getting the wife an electric one, once we're doing moving and settled in a little

I'd get them one of those surron electric bikes. They go like snot

 

[NoBrakes!]

suron is still a grey area on road legal... but he does need a ONEWHEEL!!!!

I agree with the above... YAMAHA BWS are pretty solid.
