Can't speak for all states but in Florida, if it has more than one speed and has to be shifted it is NOT a Scooter, no matter what it looks like or the engine size. This may be true in other states as well causing it to be classified as a motorcycle, which means you have to take the course and get your certification. This is probably why it is so hard to find anything that has multiple speeds.

Luckily for me theres no such restrictions in my home state of CT, the only thing they are concerned about is the BHP of the scoot in question http://www.ct.gov/dmv/cwp/view.asp?a=810&q=430480 And both of the scoots i posted would need to be registered as mototcycles here due to the size of thier engines not for transmission choice Take care and ride safely Yours Hank

Oh yes I see both are 100cc's or better. I was just saying that is the reason there are so few manual trans Scooter's available here in the states. I guess most people would just get a MC, but I'm like you I don't want a MC, I like Scooters.

Gears matter very little in many places; although they make very little sense on bikes going below 35MPH. |
