The kids play with it. It is utterly harmless because it doesn't have a lot of power. It has never been on the road, we got it for less than $200 used (I don't think it had more than 1000 miles on it but it has been at least a decade since we bought it, the details are fuzzy).

The Yamaha Riva is a 150cc. We commute 18 miles with it, one way, daily in good weather, either my husband or I. It gets up to 50 mpg easily. We picked this one up used for $1000, with about 1000 miles on it.

Wear safety gear! Drive defensively! People just don't see you on these things so it is up to you to ensure you have enough bike underneath you to "scoot", plus the safety gear in case you fall.
