Why does Veeky Forums hate scooters when these are the ultimate city vehicle?
>cheap
>easy to ride
>saves a lot of gas compared to cars and motorcycles
>can park anywhere
>light
>50cc engines can reach inner city speed limits without a problem
>125cc engines can reach up to 110 kmh.
Compared to motorcycles in the city the scooter wins hands down.
So why do you hate them?

Because they're electronically or mechanically limited to 45 kph (as if 50 or 55 kph would've been too dangerous) in half the fucking continent, meaning they still hold up traffic. And they're loud and smoggy. What we need are buyer incentives for electric scooters instead of richfag Teslas.
Didn't I write:
>inb4 not knowing the difference between moped and a scooter.
Moped technically is entirely the wrong term because it refers to a motor assisted pedal vehicle. Whenever scooters are discussed it's automatically assumed that the 50cc models are meant because you need a light motorcycle license for scooters above 50cc meaning there's nobody to fucking buy 125cc scooters. The only country I know of where scooters above 50cc are moderately successful is Japan.
Because cities are for SWINE
