I want to get a motorized vehicle?

I live in Philadelphia, and need a vehicle to drive around in. I am looking for something in the lines of a motorized bike, but nothing as big as a motorcycle, as I would need to be able to park it neatly on a city block without impeding walking traffic.

I was suggested a Vespa motorscooter, but they cost at an upwards of 4,500 dollars. I am hoping to keep my purchase under a $1,000.

Some things I am looking for :

-Can fit a second person

-Able to go at least 30 mphs

-Motorized

-Requires a license (So no kiddie toys for me!)

-cost less than 1000 bucks

Any suggestions?

    There are some Chinese version of vespa, had a 50cc 4 stk engine, 2 seats, and could do up to 50-60 mph, and had many options such as remote alarm, truck etc. A hobby shop, where I used to work, had them and I saw these bikes in other pocket bike stores. The prices was around $1000- $1500 for a brand new one. But since they are chinese made, I am not very sure about their religability.

    Look for the the pocket bike stores, they may have something for you.

    I drive a gas guzzling, retina searing yellow, v8 powered rear wheel drive sports coupe because I can. I don't have any interest in public transportation, or any other method of transportation. Public transportation sucks everywhere. If I'm not in control of the vehicle, I'm going nuts.
