Gas Scooters Have Many Advantages


Thanks to the ever increasing gas prices, everyone is looking for ways to ease the pain at the gas pumps and save some money. This may be the right time for you to consider purchasing one of those powered scooters. Both gas scooters and electric motor scooters have their own unique set of features. Thanks to the many varied styles of scooters that are available, you should have no trouble finding one that is right for you.

The gasoline scooter can usually get more mileage before having to refuel, whereas even the top electric scooter battery will need recharging every few hours or around 16 miles. The gas powered scooters can take you several miles (around 250-300) on a single gallon tank so that saves you money because you would use less gas to fill it and it results in less fuel stops.

If someone were to tell you that the faster you go the less you will pay, would you believe them? Normally that statement would be false; however, in the case of gas scooters that is a possibility. They tend to be a better deal because you can drive them faster and still pay proportionally less than you would with electric ones. The gasoline ones will average anywhere from 10 to 20 mph faster than electric ones.

The gas motor scooters usually last longer as they are more durable, in part due to the fact that they are designed to handle higher speeds, as well as quite a few models being able to go off road as well. These ones work well in all seasons, unlike the electric scooter battery that decreases in power during both extreme cold and heat. Refueling is much easier when using a gas one, as you can just add gas, yet with electric ones, it is rather difficult to charge a battery when you are on the go and it takes about 4 to 8 hours for it to charge completely.

If you need a little more convincing before you purchase a gas scooter, then consider the fact that these devices have a basic and straight forward design, which makes it less susceptible to needing repairs; however, if repairs are necessary, then the scooters parts are normally readily available, saving time and money. Remember that you are already ahead of the game because cars and motorcycles are much more expensive than gas scooters so you were saving money the moment you make the purchase.

The gasoline ones emit far less emissions into the air than a car, allowing you to be environmentally friendly too. You may even be able to cut down your car insurance premium as these devices are generally less expensive to insure.
