we sell lotsa scooters to 65+ crowd....they need 'em to commute to work...the greatest generation cannot afford to retire due to dismal economy

NO! MOST DEFINITELY NOT!!! No one over the age of 25 should be on a scooter. :lmao: :hehe: :D :taunt:

(Fortunately, like Jack Benny I've been 23 for the last few decades.)

I think the real question is "Should we let them??" ;)













Don't be mad I'm just kidding

A " ZUMA" comes to mind. Take her with you to the local yamaha dealer and have sit on one of those. Taller more rubbery tires(easier to keep upright), good fuel economy,

Just take it slow....don't try to do more than your ability.

Hi
I almost forgot you both should take an MSF full course

And also their scooter course if possible

Keep some money in your budget set aside for quality riding gear

Take care and ride safely

I'm 76 going on 77 in April,(39 mentally) been riding scooters for 4 yrs. My first was a Znen 50cc Motorino, loved it 'till I decided on a Vogue/AutoMoto 150cc trike scooter with an enclosure, wipers, and it TILTS! Love the ride...will keep riding until I can't.
Take a safety course or join a scooter club and learn to ride with a group... there's safety in numbers!

I'm 76 now, and started riding scooters three years ago (after a 30 year layoff from motorcycles). I'm on my third scooter, rolled over 22,750 miles, and commute to work every day (of course, not on weekends) A scooter is great. More fun than cycles, and especially nice for my old bones that would rather step through because I'm too lazy to throw a leg over the top.
Go for it - You have years of enjoyment ahead of you.

step through
 

See I am not the only old guy who likes a step through. Love the chinese 150 and cuss the majesty just about every time I ride it when I scuff the HUMP when getting on or off. On a real scooter you should be able to set a case of coke across the floor boards for a ride home from the grocery store. john

And more than that, John.

I quite often get 1/2 a shopping cart in my scoot, or a good 60-75LBS on food. Floorboard for a bag of rice, a gallon of milk, 2 or 3 x 1/2 gallons of juice or lemonade, under the seat 2 or 3 shopping bags, and in the rear trunk some frozen food boxes.

Cuss the Majesty
 

Understand about the hump, so I have to admit, I can't quite "step-through" on my 2009 Majesty; but being old and slow, I miss the hump most of the time. But we have to have SOMETHING to gripe about - after all, after seven decades, we've earned the right!

Next month I will be 87. In addition to enjoying riding my new 2013 SYM RV200, I also flying giant RC airplanes, am active in woodworking, work out three times a week and have just started learning ballroom dancing. Age is relative - relative as to what you can do and what you really want to do. I feel very fortunate and very blessed.

Too old?
 

I'm 64 and I just bought my first scooter a few days ago. The interesting part? The man I bought it from is 82. His kids said it was "time", he said it was "time", but he did't really seem excited to see it go. I told him he can visit me and ride his old scoot whenever he wants to. :) Dave

Had motorcycles for years and bought a Linhai 260 last year from a guy who was 70. Sold the motorcycle and enjoy riding the scooter alot more and having fun riding. I am 65 will be 66 in two weeks.

Hey, I'm 60 and not too far from you.
