Sailor 47 said "The trouble with using cart paths is that the scooter is much faster than anything else on the path. Not saying you would go that fast but any accident may be on you to prove you weren't going too fast.
I'll have to disagree with that statement here's why IMO " Most cheap 49 CC scooter won't go 45 MPH unless they are modified. Even 125CC scooter has hard time breaking 55 unless it's modified. That's the problem they won't be able to keep up with traffic on the BLVD. or Highways cause NOBODY drives 25 or 35 MPH is speed Zones. and when the speed zone is 40 or 45 that means 50 or 55 for most drivers. remember the thread about some one driving the speed limit in the left lanes.
Just saying I got passed by 70% of the soup-up Golf cart going 19 MPH on the MM path, Then there are the street legal carts that approach 30 Plus MPH if you drive with you foot to the floor. Which NOBODY drives like that except for Law breakers. SO your statement about 49CC mopeds are not 50CC motorcycles that have gears, 49cc scooters are Belt driven CVT's single speed with adults weighing much more than average teens (135 pound give or take) are much faster don't hold much water IMO.
I guess Lovey2 you could check the rules and get you mini-bike? The lawn mower engine probably got more power and torque than the scooter anyway. It's not street legal as scooter's or motorcycle's are?.
