How much horsepower does a typical around-town scooter (i.e. vespa, ruckus, razz, etc)? ?
I am mainly interested in the smaller-displacement (50cc or so) scooters, but if you don’t know those and happen to know another one, then I would like to know.
thanks
There’s no way it would be 10hp (Ryan!). Most are between 3 and 6 hp. Any more and the power band gets so narrow they become unrideable – on the road, anyway.
Around 10-18 horsepower with premium fuel.
dude, I think the other answerer may be wrong because this moped only has 3 hp, which is less than my lawn mower.

REAL scooters such as Vespa and Kymco of 50cc go about 35 mph. the toys do not count,.
