Last weekend I was visiting some yard sales, which I do most Saturdays. A women has a beautiful Peugeot scooter with the luggage case and the helmet that had about 2000 miles on it.
She was a nurse and had used it to ride to the hospital, where there is little parking available. It was a 49.5 cc pasola with two mirrors and extra lights and good tires. It was silver and looked like new.
She said the paid over $2000 for it.
But I have no need for a pasola here in Miami and I thought that it would be nice if I could ship it to the DR, where it would be great for getting around on.
Then I recall comments on how difficult it was to ship pasolas, and I passed on it.

I have run into several of these at sales over the years, but this was the best one ever. A lot of people ride them for a while and then move on and buy a car.
The others I have seen were Chinese knockoffs or seriously ancient Vespas. How hard is it really to import a pasola to the DR?
