NO RESERVE For Sale: 1998 Honda Elite80 Scooter 2087 Miles Currently registered in Ohio Comes with Owner's Manual, Riding Tips and Practice Guide. This was my first scooter and purchased it 12 years ago for commuting around the neighborhood and to work (Since then I have purchased two additional scooters each larger than the previous). Each year I was able to ride it less and less due to having other rides. The scooter is in good condition with only a few scratches on the body (see pics) HOWEVER, when I went to start it this season it would not. I believe the current battery needs to be replaced. I do not believe there is anything major wrong with the scooter outside of the battery.  I have made what I consider to be an adjustment to the opening bid to take the battery into consideration. The Elite 80 was a very successful scooter and it enjoyed a remarkable run from 1985 all the way to 2007. That’s an impressive 23 model years with virtually no changes. The engine is a standard 2-valve, air-cooled 4-stroke engine.
