So I rode a Buddy today halfway across the state of Connecticut.
(Ok, its a small state) Total mileage was 50, combination of city and country roads. Handling was flawless. Never had a problem keeping up with the flow of traffic. At one point I was looking up a mile long hill with a 50 MPH speed limit. Started out at 40 and hit the throttle a quarter way up the hill. Within seconds the speedo showed 55 and had more power left. (The scooter is brand new so I didnt want to push it too hard)
The car behind me said I actually was going 50. So the speedo is off 5 MPH which is usually the case. One thing I didn't like, especially on a long ride, is there is no room to move my feet around.
All I can say is the Buddy is a fantastic starter bike. Not sure about riding 2 up on it though. Unless you are both like the small Chinese teenagers in the My BuBu commercial
