Think about all the things that you look for in a scooter. Let's run down a little checklist, shall we?

Stylish, Euro-inspired good looks? Check. Room for two - plus ample storage for urban-suburban commuting? For sure. Fuel efficiency that has you snickering every time you're at the gas pump? You bet.

Oh, and how could we forget -- a zippy, fun ride? Yep. That too. In fact, with a 125cc 4-stroke engine, the Vino 125 gives you more pep than you'll know what to do with. The only place it's miserly is at the pump. So what're you waiting for? Scoot!
