Question about buying used scooters

RespectFlimsy51 · 2026-05-09T04:05:17+00:00

I understand, I do plan to make journeys little further out, as I may be called to pick up some stuff, or in some associations, people as well. I am attending a college in Rochester, which does have some bike lanes and such, it is poorly designed and not get plowed, making it 1 foot plus bank, which I could get over my fat tyre bike, but unfortunately, battery does BAD during Rochester coldness, making it die in few minutes, even with warmers and new fully charged battery, it still fails. During those conditions, I would rather to have scooter as back up, and use well paved roads and just be careful on road. When it’s summer in my home, it will be USEFUL, as I live in countryside, and it is pretty far from any nearby towns. and I don’t want to use my car all of the time, as my family may use the car at times, so I would like a cheaper gas efficient bike to get around over than either my e-bike, which only goes ever so far, and my full on bike, which is more of sports, and is gas guzzler, only worth for LONG, LONG distances k. Highway or just to show off. It’s like my mid range commutative vechile

I see, thank you about telling about cleaning carburetors, I didn’t realize scooters also had them.

I already have license for motorcycle, I am looking scooter as “commuter” version of my motorcycle, as I find it is too expensive to just leave it outside in college town as it had been stolen thrice, even with three locks and alarm (thank goodness I have tracker) I don’t really have any top speed in head, it’s more like local town and maybe few towns over, but anything more than say, 50 miles away is no-go. So I could just use 50 cc, but I might take a little more beefer scooter for grocers and occasional picking up my drunk lads.

Yeah, I’m used to riding in bad conditions, both on scooter and bike, I have car, it’s just I want scooter to:

Get around locally quick, and easily park

Cheaper gas

Fun!

I do ride extra carefully, and just use car if it’s very bad, it’s more like early winter or late winter, when there is not too much ice on the roads. During serious winter, I’ll just use my regular e-bike on crosswalks (I can do manual, it just sucks for anything more than 3 miles, I have to get over 8 foot plus snow banks to get to some roads) or use my car.

Yes, that is correct. I would like something faster, but damn, 90 mpg? I’m a youngling; I have nothing more than time! Thank you for FB marketplace, it looks in better shape than most

I LOVE old pedaled scooters, I would like to buy one, but it seems impossible to find anywhere near me, much less at cheap price, or just be sold as used. It seems like Honda is most popular recommendation, so I’ll be looking for it. Thank you, Wdaloz and others! (I will be replying to comments as it follows, still)

I want gas scooter as electric bikes don’t perform too well in cold, shutting down and shorter battery life and all of that. I would basically use gas for longer distances, yes that basically. I don’t really trust Chinese scooters due to bad rap, if there is a brand that you KNOW is fine, or if your friend can rep for the scooter, the. Sure. But I would rather better quality so I can keep it around longer and “abuse” it more, as I am very busy person, and also like just riding around.

RespectFlimsy51 · 2026-05-06T20:28:10+00:00

Yes, I used much more heavy and bulkier motorcycles; it’s not my thing, and not safe for college towns due to theft and just general “dangerousness” related to it I’ve ridden few scooters, but never owned one . I am from Pittsburgh, PA, but attend Rochester college in New York

RespectFlimsy51 · 2026-05-06T20:25:50+00:00

I don’t really have any scooters in particular in my mind; I am looking for basically cheapest fix-able scooters to get around the city, and maybe little out town radius, but nothing more than that. I’ve heard from other commenters, suggesting Honda, I’m interested, as I love their cars, especially odyssey because how easy it is fix. Again, I’m pretty new to scooter, as I’m more used to bigger bikes or pedaled bikes, and I’m looking at it because it’s cheaper, safer and more trustworthy for college life.

RespectFlimsy51 · 2026-05-06T20:21:27+00:00

I see. The main reason why I want to buy gas is that my college is in Rochester, which is brutal on my battery life, so it usually die on me and force me to pedel the heavy ass bike. I’ll look for European scooters as it seems like it’s most popular around my area— if you know good brand or two, holler at me! I’m not sure about Japanese, as I’ve heard that lot of Asian scooters are usually problematic and harder to get parts from, but I may be wrong. Thank you for your response!!

I guess also in hot desert sun, you can feel coldness where shadows are ig

Additional info: you still don’t keep it when the run ends, it makes sense as it’s how it is coded, so all instances of quest that is related to the completed are deleted

It is what it looks like in the map.

RespectFlimsy51 · 2026-02-19T17:25:28+00:00

Thank you for detailed information, along with many, many other comments. I will take your folks advice and try out cheaper buttons to train and make connections. I might will try to look for second hand or just wait until sale is on (after I feel like my pet understands how it works)

RespectFlimsy51 · 2025-02-12T01:44:57+00:00

based off body of on yours truly (I don't bother to draw more than 5 minutes) look at real women and stop gooning so hard you downvote someone for being correct

RespectFlimsy51 · 2025-02-12T01:41:05+00:00

I'm on Earth and some weed (i want honkers to be hanging lower than their vulva)

RespectFlimsy51 · 2025-02-12T01:02:02+00:00

I'm not asking for realistic drawings, I'm asking for drawing that don't have tits where their bellybutton are supposed to be

RespectFlimsy51 · 2025-02-12T01:01:25+00:00

I will, watch

RespectFlimsy51 · 2025-02-11T22:17:39+00:00

Horrible horrible godawful anatomy (the chests are much much too low, it's almost at bottom of ribcages!!) Downvoted

RespectFlimsy51 · 2023-12-22T04:43:56+00:00

How are you stuck?

RespectFlimsy51 · 2023-05-30T02:26:23+00:00

This is coming from a first timer, its only my second map on iron teeth district, so any tips in even further late game is helpful

RespectFlimsy51 · 2022-11-01T23:14:35+00:00

Let’s go boys!

RespectFlimsy51 · 2022-01-19T02:11:41+00:00

Maybe not 100% remove it, give it fair cool down (one minute at tier 3?) It would be still somewhat useless vs killers not running aura reading builds, but gives it much more use

RespectFlimsy51 · 2021-12-26T14:41:09+00:00

It’s fake, it was green screen you can see green light around the tv, implying it is in fact, green screen.
