Months ago, I was going to get a Honda Ruckus 49cc scooter (100 mpg!) for commuting around LA. Even went and got my motorcycle permit. (in Cali, you have to have a moto license for even 49cc). I had some problems buying it and later started riding my mtb around, then ended up getting my new road bike instead. I'm kinda glad it worked out this way. I feel way healthier now than I would have just sitting on a scooter.
