None. Actually I do have a small Razor but it needs a new battery. I've been eye-balling the Honda PCX 150. The reason is that I would like to sell all but one of my cars and have a scooter or motorcycle that I can take on the highway and venture down to the city every once in a while, plus use around town. I'd want something very fuel efficient. I can already get as much as 60mpg in my Golf. I'd hate to buy a bike that gets less.

I meant the Ener-Trac hub wheel. But you're right. A bunch of inspiring weight on the front wheel is a bad idea.

Ok. But do you think it would be safe at 45 mph? Of course 5kW or 6.5hp at higher speeds means less torque, so maybe I'm safe
