How Do You Choose the Right Model?
There is a wide range of models on the market. Many have similar capabilities, with the style and color being a major distinguishing factor. You will benefit from researching the power, weight, and folding ability of your future scooter.
- Commute – Think about daily riding needs. Scooters are great for short commutes to work or school. They are also fun for recreation or going to markets, but you probably wouldn't want your college student riding back to campus on one after the New Year.
- Terrain – Most motors and wheels perform well on flat roads. If the rider will be going up and down hills, they may need a more powerful engine or bigger wheels.
- Climate – Performance can be impacted by hot or wintry weather. Also, rain and slick surfaces can affect the ride.
- Size –Your weight, height, and what you carry can determine what size scooter to purchase.
- Style – Although not a part of how well a scooter works, style is very important. Retro, contemporary, and sporty are all style options. Wheel size, handle options, and color choice can also influence your decision to buy one style over another.
