How about an Ebike? Those are nice.

And within your price point Pip.

The real question is
How much money do you want to spend?
I dont know yet. Maybe 2
If I was going scooter / moped
( a type of transportation with 2 wheels with little motor)
:roll:
I would have to go Honda’ without a doubt

Probably be pushing past the price limit of 2 for new
But you can keep an eye out for slightly used around your area I would bet you could find a Good Honda for 2 or less

Now personally if I were to get two wheels with motor I’d have to go a little faster and the possibilities would cost much much more

You get 102 miles per gallon too! That's 50 times there and back into town for 4 and change.

Kymco makes a totally reliable good bike. I would buy another of those in a minute. Worth every penny in low maintenance. Never a worry. Whisper-quite. Handles like a dream. Twist and go. You will feel like you've been set free when you go down the road.

Anyone else dusting off their ride? You warmer climate fellas don't have to I guess, being able to ride all year.

Sweet ride. I've had a couple of dozen bikes. A 250 Kawasaki was the most fun. The current Goldwing trike covers the most ground if I ever get a chance to ride it.

I just had an older gent and his blind wife visit us. They road a Harley trike from Alabama. He is learning Egyptian heiroglyphics, so they came here for a private showing of the traveling Nefertari exhibit that is at the art museum at the end of my street.

I meet all sorts of interesting people.

Thanks! I enjoy the idea of "riding slow bikes fast." You'll understand that. I can't help but smile when I'm riding!
