How much do you want to spend? You might want to look at a Vespa LX150 or 250. Easy to ride, can carry packages/purse/backpack. Goes on the highway if needed. You can ride it in a dress.

I rode a Honda 90 through my pregnancy with my first daughter. Anything under 500 cc is probably alright for getting around town.
A vespa would be fun though!

I have a Yamaha BeeWee scooter. It is 90cc and it will do 100k so about 60mph. It is quick and easy with electric start and I love it. I ride it straight thru the wet and the dry here in the tropics. It is such fun and so economical. And easy to ride even when wearing a skirt. You can stow a lot of groceries in the seat plus carry things on the platform between your feet. In Korea and other Asian countries, they carry a family of 4 and household goods on them! I have 2 of my dogs trained to ride on it. I carry the little dog in a carry on bag and zip her in, the bigger dog sits between my feet and peers around the front. They love it too.
