Engine size 50cc "moped" 2-stroke
What I found out was that there are roughly three classifications of scooters. The 49cc moped type. A lot of people get these for specifically the reason that you DON'T have to license them. Younger people just scooting on campus, people who can not otherwise hold a regular license, or just something to putter around on. These things are cheap. You can get name-brand for $1500 or so, and the knock-offs for around $600-800. Hey, we all knew that eventually the time of disposable transportation would come. Also, many of these have what are called 2-stroke engines. I'm not going to pretend to think I know what that means except for one thing. Two-stroke engines are like your weed eater. They have to have a pre-mix of gas AND oil going into them.
