People today look at scooters as the answer to their transportation needs. A foreseen solution to the growing problem of fuel consuming cars, banking on the best and reliable brands is sure to be in order. And the latest two-wheeled prong to enter the scene is the Honda SH150i, Europe’s bestseller to date.

Catered to all ages, it is lightweight and designed to be as simple as possible for the modern scooter riders. It can go at a max of 70 MPH and makes use of a combined braking system, which links the front disc and rear drum brakes when squeezing the left lever. But it also allows riders to use the front brake only depending on their preference and situation.

Highlights of the 2010 Honda SH150i:

• Base price: $4,499
• Powertrain: fuel-injected, liquid-cooled, SOHC, two-valve single cylinder, four stroke, automatic transmission
• Displacement: 153 cc
