The name Genuine Scooters doesn’t sound very familiar in Europe but it’s the largest U.S.-based scooter company. The manufacturer has now announced a new color option to its popular Buddy line of scooters, titanium gloss. The scooter is not overly complicated and well-known reliable and has an accessable price point. The Buddy 50 Titanium will retail for $1,999 while the 125cc Buddy Titanium will cost $2,699.

The new color wasn’t the only new addition to the Buddy line-up: all previous chrome accents on the scooter are “blacked-out” in matte black. This includes the headlight bezel (surround), speedo bezel, rear turn signal housings, accent triangular plate on front, mirrors, rims, front forks, engine cover, passenger foot blocks and “Buddy” badges.
The Buddy scooter has an old-school vibe but features today’s technology. It’s a vintage-inspired scooter available in a variety of retro colors including black, red, tangerine, seafoam, white, metallic blue and now, titanium gloss. And at the same time, it has meshed European good looks with plenty of modern features that include under-seat storage and a USB charger for a cell phone or other mobile device.
The Buddy 50 engine size makes it drivable in most states with only a standard auto license. But don’t let the smaller engine fool you; the Buddy is great for everyday transportation, running errands around town or cruising across a college campus. And with 100 mpg, you’ll spend less time at the pump and more time scooting around.
