Thread: 50cc scooters

Most of Viet Nam is just ideal for little scooters, as their entire infrastructure has been built around the bicycle. Plus the entire population is savvy to having them around, so getting out and mixing with cars and trucks isn't as dangerous as it is in NZ.

Most of the Viet Nam scooters are over 100cc. Only the Honda Cubs on their 20th rebuild are 50cc. I worked their in 2008/2009 and did 9000km in 5 months going to and from work, inside the rubber plantations on a Chinese Honda Dream copy. 125ccs.

Most NZ road users are a lot less switched on than Vietnamese road users. Over there, if you have an accident you're fucked. So you stay a whole lot more situationally aware than half the morons in cars in NZ these days.

If you are super keen on the idea of riding down to the corner store, possibly think about an Ebike?? Then you could sneak off into the hills from some roadends with it
