We all know money is tight today. The economy is way down and the last thing you want to do is to have to go out and buy something new. However, this may be the one example where this new investment will pay for itself quickly. If you live in an area where 50cc moped scooters can get you from point A to point B, you should seriously consider snagging one and there are plenty of reasons why.

As fuel prices rise, filling up your car or truck is costing you alot of money. Since the average car gets 20-25 MPG, you may be filling up your tank 3 or 4 times more often weekly. Your fill up over can get costly, don't you agree. Doesn't sound better to spend only to fill up your ride per week? With a 50cc moped scooter, you are going to get anywhere from 80-100 MPG and that means a lot less money being spent at the pump.

Isn't frustrating when you can not find a parking spot anywhere? Maybe it is going to your friends house or just a quick run to the store. If you live in the city, you may have to pay for your parking spot or park several blocks away. Do you realized the little space required to park a 50cc scooter?

Traffic jams are another reason that you may want to consider a scooter. When everyone else is stacked up, you have plenty of space to get by and can get to where you are going in half the time it would have taken you in your car. That scooter is starting to look pretty good right now isn't it?

The bottom line is that in today's economy, a 50cc motor scooter just makes sense. Who wouldn't like to save both time and money? If those reasons are not enough, what about the money saved with less car maintenance and insurance. Now there really isn't a reason to head to the dealership and come home with one!
