Have seen some old scooters up for crazy money lately. A couple of BWS and old Peugeot scooters going for over a grand. I wonder if anyone actually buys them at that price?

Used scooters here are going for way more that they are worth. Tao Taos selling for more than new ones. Not sure why, gas is cheap the normal reason for prices going up.

The increase in demand for scoots may be driven by the pandemic,if your trying to avoid crowds and packed public transport a scoot ticks lots of boxes.

The new ones are full of electronics that are not easy to work on.

Yeah tell me about it. I bought my ZX50 for $600* my wife's Vino for $500*. Hell I got my Super9 for $650. Coming to think about it I got all my 2ts for under $600. Now I look online and people are askin' $1200-1500 for similar scooters 2002-2006 2t, when for the same cash layout I can find anything from a 150 to a 250. It's utterly stupid.
* All prices are in Canadian currency

Geoff I would say in certain municipalities, that is a very distinct possibility. There's also the nostalgia factor for older bikes. This was a pretty interesting read if ya got time. www.motorbiscuit.com/why-have-vintage-mopeds-gotten-so-popular/
