How's that different from riding a bicycle? They break too
Mostly anything that goes wrong with a Bici you can fix on the side of the road.
That wont be the case with a scooter.
I've met people that have done long distances on 55cc's.
But never in the heat that you would have to do it in.
Im presently in Tempe, It's over 100 all week, friend.
You can certainly find back roads; google maps and make a route.
I dont know the laws on bike paths, but search for those too.
I try to be supportive of people's harebrained adventures, that's why we are here, yea?
But like
@DangerPup Fucking hot, dood.
If I were you I would plan on riding at night, or 4am to 10am over 3 days.
I would have my stopping points (towns) planned out so as not get stuck in the middle of nowhere; so I could have some AC and shade during the hottest part of the day.
I'd bring reflective clothing that covered all my skin.
Another consideration is depending on your route, you may have to get your scooter up and over the San Jancintos, so try to find a flatter route when planning.
Dont die!
