While I was vacationing on the Hawaiian Islands, I decided I wanted a scooter to just muck around town. When I was on Oahu, I ended up at Big Kahuna Rentals as they were nearby where I was staying. It was about $35 to rent it all day (needs to be returned by 5/5:30) and comes with lock and shell helmet. They only had the 50cc Sym D or something.
Hawaii is doesn't have a helmet law so I went about without one most of the time. It seemed like an alright idea since I wasn't going too far and the scooter was topping out at 30mph indicated. I actually packed my summer gloves with me cuz I figured if anything, I should at least save my hands (the $ maker). It was quite fun going by the beach and the coast line around Diamond Head. The one thing I didn't like was how noisy it was- had to use ear plugs. I cruised up and down Waikiki Beach area a few times, went up to Diamond Head state park to go hiking, went around town to various food places to eat, saw Punch Bowl Memorial, and a food run to Safeway. Oh yeah, there is enough space for a 6pack under the seat ;)
The furthest you can go is Hanauma Bay, but I didn't feel like it
I was also thinking of renting a scooter on Kauai. The rental place there had Genuine Big Cats. I nixed that idea because I didn't really want to ride on the side of the road instead of a lane.
