For the last 14 months, we have been driving a Yamaha Vino 125 Scooter around Tallahassee and the Florida State University campus. We have put 1600 miles on it in that time. Besides just being fun to drive, the scooter gets almost 100 miles per gallon, can be parked almost anywhere, and is great for running errands. There is a large locking storage area under the seat that can hold about two bags of groceries. The scooter has a four cycle engine so that it is quiet, not polluting, easy to start, and vibration free. It is easy to drive - no gear shifting - just one hand for gas and the other for the brake. We tooks these pictures in front of the Florida State Capitol and the Doak Campbell Stadium/Bobby Bowden Field. There are 70,000 students in town attending the three colleges, it is surprising there are not many scooters on campus. Weather is great here all year round for scooter riding. Due to the dramatic increase in gasoline prices, I expect more folks to discover the benefits of riding a scooter. Click on the pictures to enlarge.
