    Spending some long term quality time in Hawaii. My wife has decided that she wants a scooter to get around town on. Anybody have experience? I have looked at the Honda and the Eco. The sales guy says the Eco has way more power, and is a nicer all around unit. Bigger tires for sure. Also about a thousand or more less than the Honda. Any advise?

    I would recommend a Honda or something similar. I used to own a Chinese scooter and had to do major service almost yearly. I ended up getting everything fixed and selling it ASAP. Reliability is worth much more in the long run.

    It was a Dazon Diamondback 50. It was fun when it worked but in the end it was just too unpredictable for me.
