WHAT MOPED, SCOOTER OR ENTRY LEVEL MOTORCYCLE IS AFFORDABLE AND FUEL EFFICIENT?
Well it’s been several months now that I’ve owned the 2007 Yamaha Scooter and I’m even more impressed now than I was the first week that I owned it. With all vehicles you have to look at overall performance, gas mileage, features and styling. While the Yamaha C3 has a very boxy look to it, it’s performance and fuel mileage more than make for any other short comings. Let’s start with performance. Been a 200 pound individual, I was concerned with the 49CC engine being able to get up and go while riding it. I do have about a 1/2 mile stretch of 45 mile per hour 2 lane highway to navigate in order to get into town from my Kronenwetter suburb. Starting from a dead stop turning onto Business 51 is always a treat in a car, let alone on a scooter. However the fuel injected engine more than adequately got me up to 40 plus miles per hour so as not to hold up traffic too much. The one draw back I have noticed is the wind plays a major factor on your speed. Nice tailwind and you’ll be pushing 45 M
