Motor Scooters

Scooters have become popular partly because they are an effective solution to urban traffic problems and partly because scooters have changed over the last five years into personal transport that is both fashionable and fun. They range in price from just over £1,000 to over £3,000, and virtually all have simple to use "twist and go" combined throttle and automatic gear control.
Small wheels make for manoeuvrability and a low centre of gravity for stability, and weather and wind protection is provided by a front fairing. Their "step-through" design also means that you can wear a skirt or long coat whilst riding them - unlike a motorbike. A 50cc scooter can also be ridden on a full UK car licence if you are over 21 without the need to take a test. You can expect fuel consumption of between 70 to 100-plus mpg, depending on engine size and whether it is a two or four-stroke.
The type of scooter you choose will depend on what you intend to use it for, the style you prefer and how much you are willing to spend.
