What is a cheap (but reliable) beginner scooter?
My car just broke down (again) and it’s going to be almost 1k to fix. It’s old, got a lot of miles and overall just a big pain in my ass at this point. I’ve been thinking about getting a scooter. I’m a young adult, no kids or anything. I work within walking distance and the city I live in has almost no freeways. I drive about 5.5 miles to the city over once a week, but other than that I don’t travel very far often.
At this point do you think it’s financially worth it for me to just invest that 1k into a scooter and use that for a while as I save up towards a better car in the future? I’ve heard that scooters are great on gas and it seems like my life style is perfect for having one as my main transportation. At least temporarily.
Do you have any recommendations for something cheap but would at least safely get me around for a while as a beginner?
