I've been toying with the idea of purchasing a scooter to use for joy rides through the rural area I live in and using it as a grocery getter. Most of the roads around here are rolling hills thru pastures and small farms with the usual gas stations at cross roads and are posted for 45 or 55 mph speed limits adhered to as you'd expect. Any urban riding would be passing thru small towns. For quite a few years I rode a Ural throughout the area with out incident, merely mentioned for traffic speed reference. The significant sizable mass difference between a scooter and the Ural is a safety and disability concern to me.
Is a scooter a moderately safe option? Can I routinely travel at non traffic impeding speeds? I'm an ATGATT rider.
