Gas Powered Scooters have been there since about 1900, right around the same time the cars were starting to come on the market. Machines were rather hard. They are similar to what we think now, like a motorcycle, because in reality they were only bicycles with small engines attached to them. For now, they were fantastic.
Boy, have changed today! Range of scooters from 50cc to today's smaller versions that you get in town or on campus, it's all the way up to 600cc bad boysThis can go on the motorway and the speed of well over 100 mph. That, my friend, is a gas scooter fast!
With the economy is not so hot and gas prices hovering in the range of $ 3.00, these scooters are a popular source of transportation in all areas of life. It 'easy to see why:
o They are very affordable compared to a car
o They are incredibly frugal
o They are not difficult to repair and parts are generally inexpensive
or E 'easy to find parkingwhen on campus or in a big city

Scooters have come a long way over the years. If there are 2 things that stick out for me are about scooters, it isthis:
The efficiency of fuel 1: Getting the most of the 50 cc models and larger than 100mpg usually get about 50mpg.
Convenient 2: The smaller models can start, brand new, for less than $ 2000. Larger models can be a bit 'more expensive, suggests the range of $ 9,000, but still an excellent value for what you get.
Fun, convenient and efficient. Oh, yes, and pretty cool.
