There’s a website where people rate consumer products I used to use, but I’ve lost it. I can’t remember the name.  
Please, help this addle-minded old fart out. I wanna look at buying a scooter, but I don’t know anything about them.  
Peace,

I strongly recommend [Consumersearch.com](http://www.consumersearch.com/www/index.html). They do not rely on consumer opinions, but on published reviews by newspapers, magazines, and other consumer news sources. They rate the ratings for quality, and sum up the findings.

I also found something called “[www.consumerdemocracy.com](http://www.consumerdemocracy.com),” but you need to register, so I’ve never tried them.

I tried all those suggestions, but didn’t find much about motor scooters. I think I’ll try the direct approach, in IMHO. 🙂  
Thanks for the help.

Oh, a MOTOR scooter. That’s an entirely different kettle of fish, that is.
