Tips and Tricks for Buying the Perfect Scooter! 

Over the years, scooters have become an increasingly popular mode of transportation, partly thanks to their low sticker price and inexpensive fuel costs. However, if you’ve never purchased a scooter before, you may feel a bit out of your comfort zone while browsing the dealership lot. For tips on how to choose the right scooter for your needs, be sure to read our article below. 

Power 

Scooter engines can range anywhere from 50cc to 170cc in size. On average, smaller scooters will putter out at around 30 to 50 mph while larger models should be able to reach at least 70 mph on average. However, many cities in the U.S. don’t allow scooters to travel on highways or interstates, meaning a larger engine may not prove all that useful to you. If you’re a first-time rider it’s also possible that a larger scooter engine could overwhelm you and result in an accident. Before you choose your model off the lot, be sure to research your city’s ordinances on scooters beforehand and ask your sales rep about the model’s engine specs. 

Price 

While scooters are often considered relatively inexpensive vehicles, you still need to have a set budget before you arrive on the dealership lot. Without a budget in mind, you’ll find it’s much harder to narrow down your choices, and you may even fall into a bit of unexpected debt. Before you make plans to visit your nearest dealership, be sure to take some time to look over your finances and see what you can realistically afford.
