Hi all,
You know how something is buzzing around you for a long time and you finally “see” it? This is the case with the scooters everywhere in Taiwan. They are the transportation of choice for everyone. Taiwan has the largest number of them in all of Asia. I’ve seen very young to very old, men women, girls and boys all riding or driving during this whole trip. Finally I started looking closely at them. These things are really cool! Much better than the Cushmans or others I’ve seen in the US which look a little frumpy. These are well designed and resemble their “crotch rocket” bigger brothers. I went to the local Yamaha shop and window shopped. Here they run from $2,000 to $3,000 USD, average about $2,500 each. 125cc max. Probably couldn’t touch them for that at home. Here are some I liked:
