They are all about the same pick up something as cheap as possible about 400 pounds and then do your'e test when you are 17.

Go to all the major scooter manufacturers websites. Read.

Or try www.sc-ooter.com as the majority of people here have never even ridden a ped and won't have a clue.

You don't want a scooter, you want a 50cc motorcycle in my opinion (still technically a moped though).

Get a cheap DT50, TS50, something like that.

The 2 best 50cc scooters are either the Peugeot Speed Fight 2 or the Gilera Runner. Fully de-restricted the Peugeot is the fastest. Oh i forgot to mention the Aprillia SR 50. All three are good little peds. I've ridden the Peugeot and the Aprillia and in my opinion the Peugeot is better. Hope this helps.

I'd recommend the Peugot Speedfight 2 and the Piaggio NRG If you want a 'fast' scooter. If you want reliability and not that bothered about looks, get a Honda Cub 50. No where near as good as the 90 but still as fuel effecient.

I had a Suzuki AP50 for almost 2 years and it was quite pleasent. With hind sight I might say that a geared 50 would be better but I definantly enjoyed my scoot and got me to school across town each day.
btw, note that you don't have to modify a scoot to enjoy it (I didn't even derestrict it and still kept it for almost two years).

i think scooters (the 50cc kind) are dangerous mate, there very small so your evan harder to be seen and you don't have the power to get your self out of trouble, or to stamp your authority on your piece of tarmac, so its likely your see lots of inconsiderate cage drivers sqeazing you to the side of the road so they can over take.

get a 50cc bike....something fairly large with gears, a trials type road bike always seem to be a good bet, or try something along the lines of a yamaha fs1e, RD50, AP50 ect ect

hope that helps in some way bud
