The Baja Motorsport 50cc Scooter Gets 100 MPG - Beat the Gas Crunch

The Baja Motorsport 50cc Scooter gets about 100 miles to every gallon! That means the average motorist will spend about five dollars per week in gas. Yes, there are pros and cons to riding a scooter, but what can be better than saving fifty bucks a week?

The Baja Scooter Features

4-stroke quiet engine
Electric and kick start
No clutch - automatic
Heavyweight but lightweight ride
Maximum speed 50mph
Front and rear breaks
Headlight, taillight and turn signals
Ample Storage

Just turn the key, press the start and go! It's that simple. If for some reason a problem with the ignition exists, there is a kick start for a manual start. There is no complicated clutch action which makes this scooter easy-to-ride for everyone. And it's sturdy! With a weight of over 200 pounds, this little two-wheeler can haul up to 400 pounds, or one, pretty ample person. Up hills can be a bit slow, but on the straight-a-ways and downhill, the Baja can get up to 50mph. Front and rear brakes mean stopping on a dime is no problem. For safety, the headlamp is illuminated day and night; and turn signals eliminate the need for arm signals or unsafe turns.

No License Required

Perfect for underage drivers or DUI victims, this scooter requires no registration and no driver's license. Although considered a street scooter, the driver must obey the same laws as a bicycle and must drive to the right of the flow of traffic in higher speed zone areas. In fact, a bicycle helmet is legal head gear for those states that have helmet laws. Speaking of speed; if the speed limit is 45mph, the Baja Scooter may take a minute or so to reach that speed; while accelerating, the motorist should stay as far to the right as possible (like a bicycle) or in the breakdown lane if one is available. Once the scooter reaches the speed limit, it is acceptable to ride in with traffic.

Safety First

Always wear reflective clothing. Many auto parts stores carry reflective tape that may be adhered to any fabric. And ladies, if you are not frequenting auto parts stores, try your local fabric store.
