A scooter is convenient, fast, mobile, beautiful. Not only young people, but also the older generation are interested in this representative of motor vehicles. Which scooter will be the most convenient for you and how to avoid troubles and annoying mistakes? A few simple tips will help you choose the current scooter model.
The choice of any means of transportation is a responsible business. Therefore, first of all, you need to determine the characteristics of the scooter that will help make your ride comfortable and safe. A few questions will help with this:
1. Will the scooter be used in urban conditions or on country roads?
2. Who will be the driver? Or who will use it more often?
3. Are you planning to have a passenger?
4. How much are you going to spend?
Manufacturer's choice
In specialized stores, there are many models from different manufacturers.
European scooters - reliable, fashionable, fast, expensive. The build quality is not satisfactory. But besides the high price, you can face another drawback. If the "European" is broken, then it will be problematic to get spare parts, and they are quite expensive. An excellent choice if you have enough funds.
Scooters from Chinese manufacturers are not cheaper to find. But you shouldn't count on good quality. There is a chance that after the first fall, all the plastic will crack or rivets fly out.
Japanese scooters are a combination of price and quality. Like European models, they are distinguished by first-class quality, but they are very affordable in terms of price. Parts are available and inexpensive.
Terms of Use
Scooter for city driving. When buying, pay attention to the dynamics, the acceleration speed is of no small importance. Pay attention to the quality of the disc brake. Choose a scooter with a telescopic fork (ideally reinforced). Together, all these indicators will be indispensable when maneuvering through narrow streets, traffic jams or driving on the highway.
Scooter for country roads. If you plan to operate the scooter more often outside the city, then pay attention to the location of the air filter and the design of the front fork. A pendulum fork works best. This will increase the shock absorption and "smooth out" the unevenness of the road, with the telescopic fork you will be "thrown up" on every bump. If the air filter is located low, all dust will collect in it and will need to be changed frequently.
Who is the device for?
If the driver is an experienced person, then you can pick up a scooter with dynamic acceleration, modern design. However, there may be some difficulties with expensive high-speed models: you need high-quality fuel, they may not start in winter.
If the driver is a beginner, teenager or elderly person, then it makes sense to choose a simpler model with a not very sensitive throttle stick. There will be less chances to suddenly jump out of place or stand on its hind legs.
Additional passenger
When buying, pay attention to the length and width of the seat. The passenger should in no way embarrass the driver.
Purchase budget
Having determined all the conditions necessary for you, it remains only to compare the desire and the budget. In a good store, you will definitely find a scooter that meets your exact requirements.
