I'm looking for a scooter for work commute. My commute is like 8 min by car all back roads. Looking to spend under $1000.

Any models more reliable than others.

Yamaha Zuma
Honda Ruckus
Roketa
Yamati Strada
Wildfire
KTX Mex
Yamaha Vino
Honda Metropolitan

Why not get a bicycle? As soon as it's warm out I ride my bike everywhere.

If ya got to look like a dork ya may as well have a six-pack abs while your at it.

First, Yamaha makes the Zuma. You can't go wrong with a Ruckus!

I vote ruckus. I've been toying with the idea of getting one for the same reasons as you. My work is only a 7 minute drive from my house.

dnasty2g · 05-05-2010, 12:28 PM

totalruckus and battlescooter are the ones I know of..

Xavier · 05-05-2010, 12:29 PM

But you're not gonna get one like that for $1000 so just buy that one I linked you to.

to be totally honest with you, three of my friends have scooters.. all of them with different stuff done to them..

the Ruckus~ small.. but tons and i mean tons of jdm aftermarket lol..

yamaha Zuma~ bigger tires, the most beefiest scooter i have seen in a while. runs like a champ and can actually have tons of fun on

Yamaha Vino~ small scooter sort of like the one from grand theft auto lol..

imho. the zuma is the most fun, with the bigger tires and the offroad lights its a hell of a good time, esp in trails or the street! GO ZUMA!
