    Motorized vehicles are not allowed on the sidewalks. You would have to drive it on the street.

    I have a full size 50cc scooter that goes 40 mph, so something is odd about these engines if that's all they can manage, whith less than 1/4 the weight.

    I doubt we will get much of a discount. I just bid on one on ebay for 10 bucks plus 175.00 shipping.
