How do you know if your motor scooter (vespa) can go on the highway/freeway? Are weight and speed factors?
I’m looking into buying a Vespa scooter and want to be able to ride on freeways and highways. The scooter that I’m looking at purchasing tops out at 70 mph. Is that sufficient speed for the highway/freeway? Is weight also a factor when trying to determine the road readiness of your scooter? Thank you in advance.
there are two main laws that define freeway use.. one it the minimum speed is 45 miles per hour.. the next is that we should keep up with the flow of traffic which is usually around 65 or 70 miles per hour.. If your Vespa can maintain those kinds of speeds safely you should be good to go..
But from an experienced motorcycle riders point of view, if you ride anything that small you need to be 500% more alert of your surroundings then the average driver. So many people are oblivious to you being on the roads with them.. Drive safe..
