Got a 150CC scooter for surface roads commute upto 20 miles/day. How much does it cost to get it on CA roads?

Classes + license exp + Registration + Insurance + locks (?) + Helmet + Hand Grip = ?
a. How much is the rough running cost? (are these high maintenance?)
b. Is it safe in an ungated community with chain lock? Should I move it inside my apt?

And yes, primary transportation. Thanks for reading.
California, US.



Answer
The course and written tests are included in the $28 driver's license price. Vehicle license depends on the scooters value rather than size, but I suspect registration would be less than $100 per year. I suspect insurance would be less than $100 per year. Have the dealer include the lock in the price of the scooter. If buying a high-end Italian or Japanese scooter then have the dealer through in the helmet also.

Maintenance includes a smaller fuel tank that has to be filled up more often than cars, tires that do not last as long as car tires and need to be changed more frequently, you would want to check your air pressure more often than car drivers do, I do not know of many cars that still have zerk fittings but you would want to keep the chain lubed on your scooter, and I suspect the manufacture would recommend to change the oil every 3,000 miles rather than a car's traditional 5,000 miles. However, your scooter's brake pads, shoes, and fluid should last longer than cars since they're stopping a dozen times less weight, but you would want to inspect them just the same if not more frequent.

Does Arai, HJC, and AGV helmets have a strap on?

I want to know this because if I get into a motorcycle accident I don't want to buy a helmet where the helmet comes off.


Answer
All helmets that are DOT/Sneel approved have at teh very least a chin strap with D ring pass through or a ratchet style. The most common being D ring style....No helmet sold that is legal for use on the road comes without....period. If it were otherwise there would be nos safety value in that helmet at all . It can only work if it stays on your head first of all.
