Scooter Buyers Guide

So what's all the buzz about motor scooters in the news? Motor scooter sales are skyrocketing as consumers struggle to deal with rising fuel costs. In the past 5 years we've seen gas prices almost double and many drivers believe they have no other choice but to pay the high cost in order to get to work. Resourceful drivers have been searching for ways to reduce their fuel costs and this had lead to the increase in motor scooter sales.

Gone are the days of underpowered little scooters that had little use other than being a fun toy. Manufacturers are listening to consumers and building motor scooters that you can drive just about anywhere that you would drive a car. Small motor scooters with 50cc engines are still available and are still selling well, but newer, larger motor scooters are all the rage. With engines over 100cc's and features such as windshields, radios and larger tires, these new generation motor scooters are giving consumers new options when it comes to personal transportation.

Here's a few things that you need to look for when buying a Motor Scooter:

Engine Size

Engine size quite possibly the most important factor in deciding on a motor scooter as this will dictate where you will ride your new scooter. If you buy a small motor scooter with an engine size below 100cc, then you will want to stay away from highways and in many areas may be prohibited from driving on the highway.

If you plan to use your motor scooter on major highways, you will want a model above 100cc, and possibly as large as your budget will allow. The larger the engine, generally the faster it will go. If you don't want the feeling of not having enough power, go for the larger engine sizes.
