The Best Scooter for FIU and Miami Dade College Commuters
Campus parking is a nightmare. Gas is $4. A 50cc fits a moped row, dodges 8th Street gridlock, and pays for itself versus a parking decal in one year. Plus: you don't need a motorcycle license.
The math, briefly
- FIU parking decal: $300+ per year.
- Annual fuel on a 50cc at 100 MPG and 3,000 miles: ~$120/year.
- Insurance: not legally required on 50cc in Florida.
- $0-down financing on a Wolf Islander at $1,449 MSRP runs around $30–45/month depending on term and credit.
You save the parking decal and the gas, and the scooter is paid off in about three years.
