I think there may be something to the notion of enjoying a simpler machine that isn't so complicated. I can't speak for you, but I have passed up opportunities to upgrade to a larger scooter simply because I enjoy having a bike that is so easy to work on and doesn't have so many other systems to go wrong. Perhaps simplicity brings contentment? Or it could be that it's just a fantastic, fun scooter, period. Either way, enjoy that little red bike!
