Scooter Commuter News

Scooters are exploding in popularity as gas prices soar out of sight. A favorite with penny-counting college students and city commuters, scooters are catching the attention of the 60- and 70-year-old crowd. Scooters are a natural for retirees who run a lot of short neighborhood errands, according to an article posted on Motorcycle.com. Easy and stable to ride and a breeze to park, scooters are a fun way to cruise around town. Run your errands on a scooter and you can cross "get gas" off your list before you even leave the garage!

"People who commute 3 to 5 to 10 miles every day, they come in to buy a scooter," says Eric Dobay, co-owner of RedStreak Motors in Hudson, Canada. "They drive for 2 weeks without putting gas in it."

With smaller scooter models starting around $1,000, first-time owners will make back the purchase price in gas savings in the first year! Smaller, 50 cc models can reach speeds of about 45 mph and are perfect for in-town errands and commuting. Scooters with larger engines can reach highway speeds of up to 65 or 70 mph. Scooters are the perfect vehicle for retirees. Cheap to buy, maintain, insure and run, scooters are easy to ride and park. In most states, smaller models do not require any special licensing.
