Which scooter is better to buy
The ease of use of a scooter is influenced by its dimensions and design features. We advise you to purchase a model of such a size that you can easily move and park it yourself. Maintenance of the scooter will significantly simplify the upper location of the air intake, which prevents its excessive contamination.
Particular attention must be paid to the design of the front fork. The right choice depends on the surface topography on which the scooter will be used. For driving on a flat asphalt road, a telescopic fork is suitable, and for rough terrain - a pendulum fork with additional shock absorption.
It is necessary to take into account the power and type of scooter engine:
- Two-stroke models have a higher power density and are easy to maintain.
- Four-stroke engines consume less gasoline and oil, operate quietly and provide a smoother ride.
In any case, for daily trips on a scooter you will need an engine power of at least 7 horsepower.
An important indicator of the scooter's performance is the type of transmission. For long-term driving in various conditions, we recommend scooters with a V-belt variator, which ensures uniform acceleration and quick start. The easiest to operate and affordable models are equipped with a single-speed transmission. For novice drivers, it is better to use a semi-automatic transmission.
