2008 Genuine Scooter Company Buddy Italia

Summary:

It rocks!

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong with my Buddy Italia 150 cc Scooter. It has given me new life. I have never been so excited about anything like this before. It feels like I am a kid with a new toy.

I will be turning 50 in September, and I have purchased one of the most exciting rides of my life. The Buddy 150 Italia is the talk of my street. Thanks Pride of Cleveland Scooter Company.

General Comments:

This Buddy scooter is smooth and has great pick up.

The look of the Buddy Italia is second to none.

It is a very economical and light ride. The Buddy gets about 60 miles per gallon, and is very comfortable.

Move over motorcycle, the Buddy scooter is taking over.

2007 Genuine Scooter Company Buddy Italia

Summary:

Love my little Buddy

Faults:

One of the mirror arms gets loose. I need to get it tightened for good.

When cold, the bike has a slight lag in acceleration.

General Comments:

I checked out a few different bikes before buying a "Buddy". So far, I love it.

It's attractive, and quick. Goes over 40+ mph, and it only has stock engine parts. The warranty covers 2 years, and the mileage is excellent. Still on my first gallon of gas.

I decided to get the Buddy partly because it's a 2-stroke engine. I know things are moving towards liquid cooled 4-stroke engines, but 2-strokes are still faster. And I wanted enough speed to cruise comfortably in Urban traffic. The Buddy does that. And since the 2-stroke oil is injected, adding it is easy.

Many people are asking me about it. Mainly, people want to know how much I paid. So, I'll tell you. It was $1900 brand new. And it gets 80-100 mpg.

The Buddy Italia is a 4 stroke. The Rattler model and Blur are 2 stroke.
