If you are considering purchasing a motor scooter, the engine is the most important factor to think about. They offer engines ranging from 49cc to over 250cc. These engines can go up to 60-80 miles per hour and up. They are also available in manual or automatic transmissions. The larger engines can be driven on the highway but are not as good on gas as the smaller engines. Please note that anything below 100cc should not be driven on the highway.

You don’t need to be an expert motorcycle rider to drive a motor scooter; in fact they are very different from a motorcycle. You can balance much easier on a motor scooter because the engine is located below the rider, in the rear. This makes the front end light and easy to maneuver, unlike a motorcycle.
