Does your mom have a class M? You do know you need to have one to drive one know. If she doesn't she'll have to go through the graduated licensing racket.

Did you know that the little funny thing you are refering to won the award for the most ultimate motorcycle a few years back. Or at least something similar.
It's one of the most succesful models and has owners in just about EVERY country in the world.
Apparently, they're crazy tough too.
I definately rock a vintage Vespa.

pls pls tell your mom to wear all the gear, all the time.. not just a helmet, mc specific gloves and boots, back protector, jacket and pants. an aerostitch would be a great investment if she is commuting on that thing.
i know most of you will find it funny, but a scooter carries the same risks as larger displacement MCs.. the final collision speed in most accidents is around 25mph, and even a scooter can reach those speeds... so pls ride safe, wear all the gear and tell her to ride like every car around her is trying to kill her
