Yes, but look at the oil change change intervals.

Commuting to work=freedom?
You're weird

There are a number of launch options, bungee, winch or retractible motor.

I probably am a bit weird, yes, but I arrive and leave at whatever time I want to, always park in the car park regardless of whether there's any spaces left, and unlike on the train I always manage to get a seat (and never have to sit next to another weirdo). So, commuting to work does = freedom - when it's on a scooter.

Well, commuting to work by scoot does make the best of a bad job!

Indeed it does, you get parked easily, don't have to sit in traffic and its cheaper.
