Should people switch to scooters?

You know, when you are seek and tired of every-morning traffic jams, you'll think about buying a scooter)))

 

That is exactly what i would ask you. Oh the irony

 

they are pretty cool

 

segways are the future!

 

I haven't got one, but will definitely buy one when I'm 16. Not just for the reasons mentioned in the first post, but because they are upping the driving age to 18 in the UK, and so it will take longer if I wanted a car.

 

why not bike then dude... bicycle, better than scooter with best mileage and less maintainance.

 

I myself wanted to own a scooter, but my uncle had his accident 2 yrs. ago. He said he wanted us to learn how to used it, but not in the long run.

I still prefer car over scooter, though it's expensive still the percentage of human's safety is much better compare to scooter. ^_^

 

Well,
Scooters are almost out of market here in India due to the high rise of cost effective Motor Bikes..
They are ranged form 25K to 100K in INR.

 

somewhat right... but married ppl prefer scooter so that they can go for shopping with their wife. can manage shopping with ladies on bike...dude.

 

Get a 150cc 4st Bajaj Pulsar (made in india) gives roughly 31.5 miles to a liter of petrol and easily does 110kmph and will climb any mountain with ease.

 

why not 200cc then

 

Why not a 220 then or for that matter F650 from BMW which gives a respectable 16 miles to a liter .

The OP wants mileage and ability to climb mountain roads easily, best compromise of mileage and power

 

Keep your MPG high and have extra power at the same time! This bit of kit is getting fitted on my scooter today. Only 1hrs labour at your local garage plus the cost of buying it.

I'm with cars

Scooters not intresting for me

 

Scooters don't work well when the roads are snow covered and it's -10 Farenheit. I rode motorcycles for years but finally quit due to all the morons on the roads. Scooter...Yikes!

 

Its not the ride, its the rider. If you drive carefully, and make sure others around you drive carefully, you don't crash. If you drive fast all the time, don't concentrate, then you crash.

I have driven over a open bridge with gale force 9 winds on a dual carriageway, while it was raining.

i have 2 scooters, they are bad-arse! the fastest 50cc scooters made!



but i also got my big ol american Truck too

 

I have a 600cc Honda Shadow.. Cool bike goes up to 120 mph

 

I purchased this part on Friday, got it in the post on Monday and got it fitted today, i have just driven my scooter around town, and it is amazing. It sounds a lot better, louder, more "motorbike" style sound, it gives better acceleration, and my top speed is not changed.

I've had an Aprilia Mojito custom and since a year now have an Yamaha YBR125 (not a scooter)..
