How do I fight a condo association ruling against scooters in garages?
by Anonymous
(Somewhere)
I live in a condo association and have a 150 cc motor scooter. It is licensed and insured and is parked in my garage not outside.
Recently I was advised that this was not something that I could use or store in my garage according to the condo rules.
What are my rights? I only ride this scooter, I have a license, on city streets and drive it home and park it.
ANSWER: Others may chime in too, but I really think this is an issue you'll need to resolve with your condo association. I lived in a condo with an association and they do love their rules! I'll never live in such a place again, but that's another story...
Anyway, I think you need to find out what their issue with the scooter is... noise? fear of fire? Neither are particularly valid, in my opinion in regards to a 150cc scooter, but if you signed off on the rules and they specifically say no scooters in garages, you may have to comply.
Do you know what your rules say? If they don't say "no scooters" or "no motorcycles", then I think I'd consult with a lawyer about your rights and how to proceed.

A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.
Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.
One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.
