I just got my Vino 125 this week and it seems easy enough to maintain. The controls are very easy to use and the guages are easy to read. You can look in a little window to see the oil level which makes it easy. I donĀ“t know about the mileage on this scooter, but generally they get 60 - 90 miles per gallon or more. I bought mine to do a little work/school/home commute and I like that it will go fast enough for some faster city streets. Perhaps the best part is the underseat storage which is shaped to hold a full-face helmet. I definitely think that a 125cc is not too much. It gives you power to go faster than a 50cc and is still darn cute at the same time!
