Lately, scooters have become popular among different segments of the population. Today, on the roads of any city, you can see both teenagers and adult men and women driving a scooter.
Ease of operation and low price are two of the main advantages of budget scooters. If today you need a license and driving skills for another two-wheeled vehicle, then even a teenager can handle a scooter.
Classification of scooters and their cost
By design, scooters can be divided into several types: classic, sports and retro. Sports scooters are very different from their classic counterparts - they are more like small, but powerful enough motorcycles. The cost of the first types of scooters usually rarely exceeds 80 thousand rubles.
Retro scooters are very rare on the modern Russian market - such equipment can only be ordered independently at a high price from abroad. Typically, retro scooters are completely redesigned, but with the same appearance, scooters of the last century. Sometimes the owners of collectible two-wheeled vehicles make minor cosmetic repairs without making major changes to the design. The average cost of such models is 150-500 thousand rubles.
The price of individual scooter models from well-known companies
After analyzing the world market for two-wheeled vehicles, we can conclude that the most expensive scooters are Japanese and European firms, and the cheapest are Chinese and Korean vehicles. The most popular and best-selling Japanese scooters are from Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki.
The average cost of such scooters is 20-100 thousand rubles, depending on the model and year of manufacture. If you liked the so-called maxi-scooters, then you will have to pay more than 120 thousand for them (especially for Suzuki's equipment, which has achieved impressive results in this niche of the transport market).
Some of the most famous European companies that develop and sell scooters are Italian Benelli, Aprilia, Vespa, Derbi and others. Of course, scooters from these companies are quite expensive - from 60 to 130 thousand rubles (newer and more powerful scooter models are more expensive).
Cheap Asian scooters (Chinese, Korean and Taiwanese) can be found on every corner today. Despite the use of not too high-quality material for plastic parts, such scooters are distinguished by their low price and interesting design. Scooters Omacks, Irbis, Stels, Hyosung and some others are sold in almost every motorcycle store.
