Help!!

[BubbaBrock]

I am new to the world of scooters. Looking to make my first purchase in order to save the miles on my truck. Will be using the moped to get around a college campus making short trips for my day job and also use it at night when I work security. I am looking for a 50cc scooter and not looking to spend thousands of dollars. The most trustworthy website I seem to have found is superiorpowersports.com and I am interested in the Tao Tao, Roketa, and Icebear scooters. I live in an apartment and access to tools and a garage is not much of an option and my knowledge of engines is not great. Tao Tao seems to be a scooter that takes a lot of work before it is road ready. Are all scooters this way? Which scooter is the best bang for my buck? Which is most reliable and perform perfectly with stock parts? Any help is appreciated!
