Is buying a motor scooter a good idea?

I just finished my education. Not surprisingly I have no money at all and unfortunately i have no car (and i dont even have a drivers license as yet). I am thinking about getting a motor scooter instead of a car. Please take the following into account

1. There is a social angle. I just joined as a junior professor. i have to present a certain image to students and senior faculty.

2. The money issue: As a starting postdoctoral faculty member, I have a pretty meagre income of K and no raises are expected in the next 3 years at least. And after 3 years, i will have to find a real professorial job…so thats a big uncertain tossup.

4. I am not sure pledging abt ,000 for a car is such a good idea with my kind of means and future. I don’t want to buy a used car, because I have a little dream about a new car…I don’t want to strangle my dream by buying an old one. Having lived as a grad student, desperate poverty, old clothes, old books, broken houses are all so familiar…I want a departure from those horrible years…i want to buy something new.

4. Considering that this would be my first car and first license ever and I am a young single male, the insurance rates are bound to be insane.

5. As such, I have considered getting a motor scooter that costs only about 00. But I have concerns about safety and professional image.

what do you say?

I hope to get a large engine, but I don't know if getting one that is big enough to warrant me having to get a motorcycles license. What engine size requires this? Also, what is typical insurance? Lower, or higher than motor vehicle insurance? Also, do they last as long as cars, or less? Are tag/title costs lower than a car? or higher?

My son’s scooter will go for a few steps then stop and he has to push the restart button again and then again after so many feet. We called a repair shop and they are suggesting it is a fuse. Has this happened to anyone w/an electric razor scooter?

Schwinn 2008 SW500 Electric Scooter ?

I am wondering if this product, with technical specs available at:

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=8467098

would be suitable for transporting an adult, approximately 140 lbs, around on grassy, dirt, gravel and otherwise unfinished surfaces, like at a park? I am looking at this as an alternative to expensive “mobility scooters” like the Hoveround or PowerChair you see advertised on tv. Your help is appreciated.

I am 19 years old and wanting a gas powered scooter for local commuting and riding around college. How much does insurance on one of these run? If you do not have one currently insured then don't answer because I know it is not the same as motorcycle insurance since scooters only get up to 45 mph. Thanks!
p.s. "who cares" I work for the state department full time and have the money for insurance. I am just wondering how much it runs because I like to be responsible with money. If the costs of insurance make up the savings in gas then it is not worth getting one.
