    Hello everyone, I am look to buy a classic Honda 50cc pre 1980 for a fun go to work up to 8 miles per day. I have a car license and I am not well know all about 2 wheels engine, Can someone tell me which is better? Novio is a 4 stroke engine with 1.2bhp top speed of 31mph and the Camino is 2 stroke I am not sure what is the bhp? and the top speed?
    Can I pedal the scooter for a example if it break down?

    The dealer who sell the 4 stroke Novio he said that the automatic it works great with 2 stroke because of high rev than the 4 stroke with automatic but the four stroke is easy to live everyday.

    I am not sure which should I go for 2 or 4 stroke? which is more economy and less maintenance, the top speed is not a important to me.

    Regards
    Fab.

    Would say the 4stroke would get better economy though has more parts than a 2 stroke to fix.
    Both have different engine characteristics so choice would be what you prefer haven ridden both.
    You would be able to pedal for a reasonable distance/though hills or gradients(slopes) might be an issue.
    See as how your aiming for a older more classic 'ped - choice might be decided by checking on availability of spares maybe.

    I would go with a Camino. Much easier to get parts for.
    Also I would not want to pedal one anywhere. The pedals are for starting. If you pedal it, you are turning the whole engine over....

    Some do. Puch models do. But the Camino doesn't.
