50 cc Scooters in Maine
Honda Ruckus Scooter
This is gonna be a long post. Despite what I said about 150 cc scooters being the “best choice” for most of Maine’s riding conditions the fact remains that 50 cc scooters are extremely popular and by far the most common scoots in Maine. There are several significant factors as to [...]
Tuk Tuk’s coming to a street near you!

Unless you live in a larger city like Portland, Bangor, Augusta, etc., 50 cc scooters just aren’t powerful enough for Maine roads. Unless you never intend to [...]
The Honda Helix
First introduced in the US in 1986 the Honda Helix was definitely a show stopper. It looked like something straight out of “Star Wars”. In the rest of the world it was know as the Fusion or Spazio.
Powered by a 244 cc engine the Helix can claim status as the granddaddy of all [...]
