I bought a used cheap import 50cc scooter 4 stroke with 1300 miles now have 4600 miles and running good, hoping to get 10,000.
I change oil every 700 miles and have replaced drive belt
once.

PS: How fast & far does it go, for the edification of us all. Is it more like an electric bicycle or regular scooter with a floor to carry groceries?

Electric cars cost about 3 to 5 cents a mile to run. I would guess your scooter costs maybe a penny a mile, IE. perhaps about 10 miles per kilowatt hour, more or less.
You would think the manual that comes with the bike would tell you! You could of course get a solar panel that would power the bike for free, but probably expensively!

Comment on How much does it cost to insure a 49cc moped? by David Roadgoliath

It costs about $5-6/month for liability insurance on a 50cc moped or scoter (I am tired of the wheelchair being confused with us, so invented a new name for the motorscooter, “SCOTER”). You may have to pay hundreds of $ for Uninsured drivers insurance as we do in TX, then get a refund if you don’t feel it is a good deal; better to get health insurance that covers accidents, perhaps. If you want to cover damage or theft of scooter, will cost you hundreds of $ a year for that!
