Buying a Scooter
Buying a scooter is not only ideal for those who'll do anything to stay off public transport but also for anyone wishing to have some fun
and get mobile! You may have noticed the growing number of people on scooters these days and this is a bonus for you as the greater
demand for scooters becomes the more economical and advanced they also become!
Direct Bike Scooters are a great place to check out if you are thinking of buying a scooter as not only are they the largest direct scooter manufacturer in the UK, but they manufacturer and sell direct to their customers with no middle men, allowing them to supply high quality scooters at very competitive prices. They also offer an extensive range of trendy designs in eye-catching colours, and better still their scooters offer power and performance with low fuel consumption and reduced emissions.
If you're looking into buying a scooter that is cheap or used then ebay would be a great place to start! The merchants on eBay have much lower costs than dealerships and that coupled with how competitive the market is on eBay and the bidding process - you are guaranteed to find cheaper scooters than elsewhere.
Buying a scooter costs anywhere between £400 and £990, but they are so cheap on petrol that they will save you much more money in the future, and given that you will kiss public transport and traffic jams goodbye - they will also save you loads of time! Scooters offer much better weather protection than the other bikes on the road, better storage (under the seat) and their C.V.T (continuously variable transmission) gives them great acceleration and hill climbing ability.
Because of their experience in the field, good models to look for when buying a scooter are the Honda Spree, and Elite, or the Yamaha Jog. Honda and Suzuki models are also top but they may be more expensive as they are made in China
You get two main types of scooters - electric motor scooters or petrol motor scooters. They usually have a two or a four-stroke engine and one to a one and a half litre petrol tank. (A typical scooter can travel over 62 miles on one litre tank of petrol.) On the other hand, the price of fuel can be completely eliminated by purchasing an electric scooter which is fuelled by rechargeable battery motors. These days electric scooters, are not only an environmentally wiser choice, but they also have almost the same speed and distance capabilities of scooters with petrol engines. Both types of scooters can go about 10-30 miles an hour.
Petrol and electric scooters look pretty much the same, so your choice in which to buy will basically come down to how environmentally friendly you are. On the one hand petrol scooters are noisy and need to be refueled often and on the other hand, electric scooters often require a few hours to recharge.
