How to Shop for a Scooter

Introduction

Scooters aren’t just for teenagers any more. In fact, recent studies have shown the median age for a scooter owner has jumped from 20-something to 40-something in the past 10 years. That’s because the retirement set has caught on that scooters are efficient, easy ways to get around.

Step One

Figure out what you want it for. Decide how much, how long and how fast you will need to drive the scooter. Take heed of the top speed you’ll need. You don’t have to invest in a massively powerful motor that zooms around town if you will only be riding on roads with a 25 mph speed limit.

Step Two

Decide how much you want to spend. Scooters can start somewhat low, even in the hundreds, then soar ever upward into the tens of thousands. Unless cost is not an issue, really break down what your ultimate necessities are. Maybe you don’t need the flames painted on the sides or the 52 compartments.

Step Three

Research. Talk to scooter owners. Read product reviews. Call or visit area dealerships to compare and contrast what they have available. Tell people your budget and needs to see what they recommend.

Step Four

Take lessons. Call your local motor vehicle department or driving schools for places that offer scooter driving lessons. Even though it may look easy to drive a scooter, you should learn all the safety tips and nuances that come with owning one. This will also help you decide if you really want to be riding one. Perhaps you will hate the experience entirely.

Step Five

Test-drive several models. It’s always a plus to try something out before buying it, especially a vehicle. Don’t expect to be allowed to test-drive a scooter, however, unless you’ve had some experience on one.

Step Six

Get the proper accessories. No matter if your scooter won’t go above 40 mph, get a helmet. Also invest in proper driving gloves, solid shoes, a jacket and other accessories to protect you while driving your scooter out in the elements. Budget these costs into how much you are willing to spend. These should not be optional.

Tips & Warnings

Check if your state requires a special scooter license, usually lumped in with the motorcycle license, to ride one on the roads.
Follow the rules of the road. Lessons and research with the motor vehicle department will fill you in on laws surrounding scooter use in your state.
Don’t be a show-off or ever compromise your safety.
