Scooters in Pittsburgh

[writer00]

I live in Highland Park and am thinking about getting a Vespa or similar scooter. Anyone know how safe they are parked on the street, ways to minimize weather effects (no garage), etc. Any advice would be appreciated!

My spouse and I got scooters from Genuine and rode them for many years. (BTW, she's selling hers, if you're interested in a cheap used one!) It's worth looking at them, especially the Stella, even if buying new; not the same name recognition, but a solid scooter at a good price. (You do probably want to at least spring for a trusted name brand.) And remember that anything above 50cc requires a motorcycle licence in PA, which is something I'm happy to talk about if you haven't worked that out. Definitely take the (free!) motorcycle safety training course; you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by doing it

Thanks for all the great info! Can you give me the particulars on the scooter she is selling? Model, year, mileage, and asking price.

Thanks.
