To add to Dann's analysis, anyone in a similar situation could justify the scooter paying itself off in as little as two years just on fuel savings alone. It is the same reasoning that I used to get the Majesty almost a year and a half ago. The other benefit that I have come to realize is that for every mile I ride (and save $$) on the Majesty, I am not putting that mileage on more expensive vehicles, thereby retaining more of their value. The Majesty (or any good scoot) can really save in the long run. Not to mention the fun factorThanks for the link Eric. I have a 75 mile round-trip to work each
day and prefer to ride the scooter. Let's do my math...
Pick-Up Truck engine - 15 mpg
Majesty - at least 50 mpg (usually 54-58mpg)
Gas - $2.80/gallon
So that's 5 gallons of gas in the pick-up truck vs. 1.5 gallons of
gas in the Majesty per day. So at $2.80 per gallon, that's $14.00
of gas per day for the truck vs. $4.20 per day for the Majesty.
That is:
$9.80 per day in savings
$49.00 per week in savings
$196.00 per month in savings
(conservative - estimating only 50mpg on the Majesty and only $2.80
per gallon - was $2.87/gallon the other day)
Another good reason to own a Majesty.
Safe Scootin'
