Learn About Scooters

History

The scooter was developed alongside its larger and more powerful cousin, the motorcycle. Each one stemmed from adding a motor to a standard bicycle, but while motorcycles grew big and heavy, scooters remained nimble and light. Scooters really saw a boost in popularity following the end of World War II, when countries like Japan diversified their manufacturing facilities to produce small motors and the scooters to go with them.

 

Benefits

Scooter riders from France to India will tell you that their scooters are convenient, easy to park and nimble on even the narrowest streets and avenues. These little two-wheeled vehicles are easy to ride and enjoyable at the same time.

If you’re looking for a compact way to travel that is extremely affordable and fuel efficient, you can’t do much better than a scooter. With their ability to get more miles out of every gallon of fuel and their lighter weight that doesn’t damage roadways, scooters are also more environmentally friendly than cars.
