CTR Motorcycle Insurance

A motor scooter is a great alternative mode of transportation to combat the rise in fuel prices. They come in a variety of sizes, 50cc scooters to 800cc scooters. Besides the obvious savings with fuel, there are many benefits to owning a gas scooter.

One benefit is that moped scooters are very easy to use. They tend to be quite similar to motorcycles; however, unlike a motorcycle the engine of the moped scooter is located below the seat and above the rear axle. The scooter is also significantly lighter than a motorcycle and the step through frame creates a feature where riders can rest their feet on a platform or footrest instead of pedals. Unlike the motorcycle, there are no shifting gears, making it easy even for kids to operate.

Scooters are very popular around the world because they are so economical. This benefits many today due to our challenging economic times. The cost of owning a motor scooter depends on many factors. Size, style, quality provides the price differences. You can find quality beginning models around $1000.

Gas savings though out the year is another benefit of owning a motor scooter. It can be very difficult to find a car which averages over 30 mpg, while most scooters can get over 80 mpg. The annual gas savings alone can provide the extra money needed for those unexpected bills.

Another benefit for motor scooters is they are street legal. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Transportation (DOT) states that mopeds meet their strict standards and can legally be used on most roads. Because most scooters can not attain high speeds, it is a good idea to keep them off the highway or interstate.

Saving time and money, and enjoying your ride around town are just a sample of the benefits of owning a motor scooter. Become the envy of your friends and check out the new craze in traveling, scootering.
