Why should I buy a scooter?
Save money on gas. According to the EPA, the average passenger vehicle gets around 20 miles per gallon. Scooters do three or more times better, typically getting 60 to 100 mpg.
Help the environment. Less gas consumption translates to fewer emissions. Lighter weight means less wear on the roads. Smaller size means less space required to park. And scooters are generally quieter than other motorcycles.
Spend less buying a vehicle. New scooters, legal to operate on public roads, can be purchased for less than $1,000. Even the most expensive new scooters are less than $8,000.
Connect to your surroundings. On a scooter you have a definite sensation of traveling through your surroundings, as compared to the feeling of the world passing by your windows in a car. Be part of the world, rather than isolated from it.
Be part of the community. There is a club here in Rochester that gets together every week for a group ride, and accepts anyone riding a scooter. Purchasing a scooter can lead to fun, social experiences.
Show your style!
Have fun!
