If marketed as a convenience, or even as a safety device ("Never get

agreed; what I have been looking for for a while now
is actually a road worthy, i.e., street legal, not
toys, foldable scooter (I have bad legs, I need an
engine), not only when flying, but something I could
have in the truck of the car at all time (again, can't
walk far, and getting stuck in the middle of nowhere,
where Murphy's law demands lack of cell phone coverage,
is something I kindof dread);

The one thing I found so far that would fit the bill quite
nicely, except may be for its 50cc which seems a bit weak,
especially since it would not be considered a mopped in
California anyway, is the Italian built Di Blasi:

The snag is though that they are not cheap by a long shot -- note:
I am not connected to this company in any way, just wish I could be
as a customer :-))

anyone out there knows this bike, i.e., has actually tried it?
