Many scooter manufacturing firms began to produce two-seater equipment for greater convenience of buyers. On an ordinary single-seater scooter, the passenger constantly has to tuck his legs, pushing and hindering the driver in every possible way. On a two-seater scooter, this problem is completely solved.
Before buying a two-seater scooter, you need to decide on a budget. In recent years, not only well-known firms (Yamaha or Honda) began to produce such equipment, but also younger ones. That is why it became possible to purchase two-seater scooters costing only 40-80 thousand rubles, while equipment from Yamaha costs about 150.
Criterias of choice
Price is not the only criterion for choosing a two-seater scooter. In addition to the cost, you should pay attention to the design of the scooter, engine power, as well as the availability of repair. For example, if you buy a two-seater scooter from Peugeot, then you can go broke buying new parts, and living in small towns, you will have to order parts for the vehicle by mail.
In terms of design, today's two-seater scooter buyers also have a choice. Today, on the motorcycle market, you can find both classic and sports two-wheeled scooters, each of which looks quite fashionable.
Almost all two-seater scooters develop a speed of no more than 70-80 km / h. If you want to buy a scooter from a private trader, then you should not believe that the equipment “calmly gains up to 100-130 km / h”. Even if the owner of the scooter decided to fork out and put a powerful engine on it, then such a power unit will wear out much faster.
The main thing is the details
When inspecting your future two-seater scooter, pay attention to the quality of the materials. Seat upholstery should not have severe abrasions (even if the scooter is used), and the plastic should not bend when pressed. All engine parts, stars and chain must be free of rust and other damage. Of course, it is better to buy a new two-seater scooter, since in this case you will have confidence that the numbers on the engine are not broken, the plastic is new, and the mileage corresponds to the indicators on the speedometer.
Before buying, you should definitely sit on the scooter, start it, ride on a small site (if you have the right and knowledge of driving), since real sensations cannot be compared with reasoning and description of technical characteristics. It is also worth trying to ride a two-seater scooter with a passenger in order to immediately understand the dimensions of the equipment, its weight and load. The handling of a two-seater scooter is basically the same as on a classic single-seater. The only thing is that it is difficult to quickly get used to the dimensions and weight of the equipment (in terms of weight, it is comparable to a small-capacity motorcycle).
