If you care about quality (and your life), don’t buy off the internet. Your best bet is to do your research, Some might be too small (or too big) for you, or just might not be a good fit. You won’t know this until you actually see them in person. Drive around to all the dealers, sit on them, kick the tires, if they let you, take a test ride.

Ask yourself a few questions:

1) Does the warranty cover parts and labor?
2) Is there a dealer nearby who can provide service if needed?
3) How long has the dealer been in business?
4) How many dealers are selling the same brand in your area?

A few of the more reputable brands in scooters are listed below:

Aprilia
Bajaj
Genuine
Honda
Kymco
Piaggio
Suzuki
Vespa
Yamaha

Of those, many make a 150cc size scooter. I’ve heard many good things about the Genuine Blur and Kymco People 150. If you want to look at a 125cc scooter, I personally own a Yamaha Vino 125 and love it.

Keep in mind that in most states in the US, the 150cc size will require you to obtain a motorcycle license in order to legally ride.
