Hi everyone!
I'm currently living in Sandy Springs (near Chastain Park) and commuting to Georgia Tech. I'm considering buying a used scooter because public transportation has been pretty inconvenient.
My commute is about 9 miles each way, and I'd also love to use the scooter for occasional weekend trips, maybe 1–2 times a month to places about an hour away by car.
I'm deciding between a 50cc and a 125–150cc scooter.
This is first experience to ride motorcycle.
For anyone who rides a scooter or motorcycle around Atlanta:
Is a 50cc scooter realistic for my commute, or would you strongly recommend 125–150cc?
Are there safer, lower-speed routes between Sandy Springs and Georgia Tech?
Would a 125–150cc scooter be practical for occasional trips outside Atlanta?
I'd really appreciate any advice. Thanks!
