Gas Scooters: Why You Want to Get One

Gas Scooters are starting to show up more and more on our city streets.  A favorite of Europe and Asia for many years, there is trend beginning where gas scooters are starting to fly off the shelves in America.  When you consider their advantages, it is easy to see why:

 

1.  Scooters get into less accidents.

The percentages and statistics show that scooter drivers get into less accidents than cars and motorcyclists.  This is due in part because of the design of scooters.  Since they are smaller vehicles, it is easy for them to maneuver and avoid accidents.  In addition, most scooters are not made for highway driving where accidents are the highest.  Finally, while riding a scooter, a scooter driver is required to have both hands on the wheel and is less likely to be distracted than say a car driving who is talking on their cell phone.

 

2.  Scooters are cheaper to buy.

The cost of a new car or motorcycle is easily 3 to 5 times as much as a scooter.  This means not only do you save money on gas mileage benefits, but you also save money at the very start with the purchase.

 

3.  Scooters have cheaper repair bills.

Scooters have a basic straight-forward design which means that scooter repairs are uncomplicated and fairly easy to get corrected.  This translates into cheaper repair bills compared to expensive bills you might pay on a sophisticated car.

 

4.  Scooter get better gas mileage.

This fact is the draw for most motorists who make the switch from car to scooter is this great gas mileage savings.  This is easy to see why when a scooter gets 60 to 80 mpg and a car gets 15 to 25 mpg. 

 

5.  Scooters can have cheaper insurance premiums.

Since scooters get into less accidents, you can often get cheaper insurance premiums.  This is more great news for those who are trying to save their hard earned money. 

 

6.  Scooters are better for the environment than cars.

Scooters actually emit less emissions into the air.  This means you know that you are creating a smaller carbon footprint when you ride your scooter.

 

With all of these advantages, it is easy to see why gas scooters have become the new “it” item.  One additional piece of advice I would give when looking at gas scooters if you are a new scooter owner is to start with the Top Brands.  The top brands include: Yamaha, Buddy, Vespa, Honday, and Aprilla.  These brands have established quality reputations with past customers and have a sold parts and labor network in the US.  Going with other brands can be somewhat dicey as they do not have the same reputation and it can be difficult to get parts for them.  Therefore, unless you are a mechanic, I would stick with the top brands.  However, regardless of which brand you choose, I think you will find that gas scooters are great for saving some cash and are a fun ride as well.
