Our new and used scooter inventory
Scooters with 50cc sized engines do not require a driver’s license or motorcycle endorsement in North Carolina! What North Carolina does require is this: 1) you must be 16 or older, 2) you must wear a DOT-approved motorcycle helmet, 3) the scooter must be registered and renewed yearly, and 4) the scooter must have liability insurance in effect.

About the Genuine Scooter Company
Combustion Cycles sells new scooters by Genuine Scooter Company. We have been selling and servicing these scooters for over ten years and believe they are the best “bang for your buck” available. Honda, Suzuki, and Yamaha also make great scooters – comparable in longevity and reliability to Genuine‘s scooters – but with much higher prices.
New Genuine scooters come with a generous two year parts and labor warranty and two years of Roadside Assistance in case you ever find yourself in a bind. With their excellent reliability why would a warranty and Roadside Assistance be important? For peace of mind. Plus, Roadside Assistance will save the day, even if you simply run out of gas or get a flat tire.

Love is in the details. And after one look at the Buddy 50 scooter, you’ll be ready for a serious commitment!
