A 55mph scooter? I'll say that you are Gutsy! I purshased a Viza Viper scooter for my turn around on short floats. It has a 31cc motor, brakes, handle bars and a seat and is chain driven. Not fast (about 25mph, 230lb rider) but any faster would be suicidal. I have used it several times on 8 road mile turn arounds. No problems yet. Been past by a couple of troopers and all have done is shake their heads and drive by. It weighs only 35 lbs and folds small enough to fit in the back of my drift boat. Pretty slick if you don't crash.
