So I live in a small town, I had a bike before a Daelim 125cc. I need something with a ton of space so I can transport groceries from the town over.

What bike has the best space to carry a lot of stuff on? I was thinking maybe one of those 250cc scooters, with a large open space under the seat, but I'm not sure..

Any suggestions?

Don't you have motorcycle delivery guys in your town? I see 125cc Daelims all over the place stacked 3 meters high with goods. Their bikes have been modified with a large rack on the back that also takes up the passenger seat, but I doubt you need 3 meters of groceries.

I recommend any regular-framed bike, not a scooter, and getting a solid rack on the back. Mine connects to the frame and I can strap a lot on there. I am considering making the rack a bit wider some how to be able to strap more to it. Just get a wide rack, put the food in a big box or two and tie that sucker down.

Another idea is getting a large backpack and simply wearing that full of groceries.

Yamaha Mio or Vino

Little small but nippy and automatic. They have grocery hooks on them as well.

I have a Daelim 125 with a lockbox on the back. I added saddlebags (a bargain at 40K) and with those 2 things I can hold a lot with no chance of spillage. If I need more space, a rucksack can be strapped behind me (using the lockbox and bungee cord), and I can always wear another rucksack.

Something like a Daelim Forte 125 or a Freewing 250 are going to be best, unless you get a Citi model that has a big rack added to the back for loading.

The Yamaha VOX has quite a bit of seat space...might want to check these out.

It's not about seat space as much as floor space. Some scooters have a hump down the middle that makes it almost impossible to keep groceries balanced on the floor. The Forte and Freewing have plenty of space for this. I used to carry 2 large grocery bags on the floor of my Forte, and could hook the handles inside of the little plastic holder which was there for just such a purpose.

I'm thinking of making a trike. For any of you who have been to the philipines, you will know what that is. My wife and son think I'm nuts....but they think it's very practical too.

Do you keep the scooter outside during the night? I wonder how you lock it up, i.e. how it hasn't been stolen. I see delivery guys leave their bikes outside. I assume they lock the steering column, but there's nothing preventing someone from loading it into a pickup truck and driving away to spend the next morning break its lock.
