I personally wouldn’t go on the freeway w/a scooter. Did it once on the LX. Won’t do it again. I don’t feel comfortable or safe. Most times I’m not in that big of a hurry and can take side streets pretty much anywhere I need to go.
Unfortunately I have to haul a trunk full of crap to work, so I have to take the car, not the scooter. That’s when I use the freeway.
Otherwise, I take the scooter and take my time and stop to smell the flowers.
My scooter does pretty well up hills. Often I have to go up Genesee when heading to PB from UTC. Goes up it fine, doing 40 mph. That’s not to say people aren’t passing me in the faster lane exceeding the speed limit, though.
If someone has a 50cc, they’re gonna have trouble.
On another note, Mile of Cars has had a 50% decline in truck sales, was one of the headlines on the SDDT. It’s starting. Less truck sales, waiting list for scooters.
This is not just SD. Nationwide. Talked to Alex. Their supplier/manufacturer is backlogged from sales worldwide.
