A helpful gas scooter comparison chart...

Interesting way to see what scooters are available, what styles are available, etc. From the trickest scooters to the newest cool thing...

www.neoscooters.com say:

"We publish the top speed and specs provided from the manufacturers. Not all mfgs. tell the truth about the speed of their electric scooters. As a result how fast you go on your scooter depends on rider weight, road conditions, tire pressure, and incline. All of these factor into actual top end speed of the electric scooters.

To view more details on any of the electric scooters, simply click on the electric scooter model name or scooter image to go to the product detail page. We are adding and changing our inventory of electric scooters all the time, and this comparison chart may not list every scooter we have available.

Scooters in chart listed by descending top rated speed. Prices subject to change - please see the actual product page for current pricing and any applicable sales..."

Here's the comparison chart...

A convenient way to slash your gas bill

Article by Michael Milstead

“With oil prices spiraling higher almost every day, people are starting to look for alternative modes of transport,” says Michael S. Milstead of Scootertronics. “With scooters, commuters can slash their gas bills and still have an efficient, reliable mode of transport."

With the introduction of four stroke scooters into the market this year even larger savings can be had with these scooters getting 60 to 80 miles per gallon.

Four Stroke Scooters are much easier to care for than two stroke scooters with oil added to an oil reserve just like a car instead of being injected into carb for lubrication. This keeps the carb from getting clogged up - eliminates the expense of two stroke oil and reduces smoke - plus you get a quieter, smoother running engine.

The larger 150cc scooters are also making a splash adding the power and speed to to keep up with fast moving traffic. Although 150cc scooters are treated like motorcycles (where you need a motorcyle license), the 49.5cc scooters most often require a regular drivers license and no tags in most states.

So if you are looking to slash your gas bills... consider a four stroke gas scooter to make your commute, not only enjoyable, but money saving also..."

As the owner and sales rep for www.scootertronics.com, Michael Milstead has been providing info and scooters to the public for all kinds of transportation that will give them great savings on their gas bill each month paying for the scooter in a very short period of time.

Safety Rules For Scooters

Now, for (my) safety rules for riding high speed gas powered scooters:


• Responsible riders do not duck in and out of traffic. Or at least try not to. At least when there are police cars around the place.

• Friends don't let friends ride scooters when drunk. Unless you know they can handle the scoot. And, sheesh, that's not asking too much, right?

• Responsible riders do not ride at fast speeds on the sidewalk. Unless of course the sidewalk is so tempting that you just must do it.

• Friends don't let inexperienced friends ride souped-up scooters. That's right, you shouldn't. Not at all. I can't bend. Oh no, what... Ok, maybe just this once.

• Responsible riders recognize that pedestrians always have the right-of-way. They do, too. So don't, and I say this again, don't, run them over with your gas powered scooter, Ok.

• Responsible parents insure that their children wear proper safety gear when riding scooters. And they lead by example. Yeah, pad up, wear protective stuff, and all that. Except on real hot days when it wouldn't be cool.


Hey Y'all, just kidding...

Gas Powered Scooters - Insights

Further insights into gas powered scooters.

What exactly are gas powered scooters?

Well... gas powered actually means a petrol, or fuel driven engine. In Australia we use the word 'petrol' whereas the American style is to say 'gas'. Hence gas powered scooters. Basically it's a fuel driven engine. The small engine gives it the economical factor, and the styling or shape of the scooter gives it the huge fun factor! (In Australia 'gas' is LPG or liquid petroleum gas).

Here's some interesting quotes about gas powered scooters and scooters in general:

“We sell to many teenage customers, college students, as well as people in bigger metro areas looking for more economic travel and parking options... I would estimate that 50 percent of our customers buy scooters for primary transportation and 50 percent buy them as a toy.” Dwight Turner, owner of GS MotorWorks in Frisco, Texas.

"Gas scooters have been a favorite form of affordable transportation in European countries for decades. The low-power vehicle wasn't that attractive to the power-hungry American market until recently. Sleek styling of the modern scooter combined with the product being seen in a variety of films has opened the door to the American urban market...

Increasing gasoline prices has added to the small vehicle’s appeal. Competition among scooter manufacturers and continuing sales has led to unique design features, such as miniature, low-powered, Harley-Davidson style motorcycles. The smaller version of the grown-up bike has made it a choice ride for older children, leading to the scrutiny of police departments and parent groups..." (Quote thanks to Kent Pinkerton).

Moped Gas Street Scooter...

< Moped Gas Street Scooter 50cc 4 Stroke
Available from Amazon.com

They can be folded up or carried on buses or trains. They are easy to use. They are a lot cheaper than buying a car. Anyway do you really want a car? Cars are almost old school! If you live in a city of which a high percentage of us do, then what are you waiting for? Get a scooter. No license needed. No helmet for specific types.

And they look good. You get to smell life as you go by. You can travel cool speeds. You can meet girls or boys easier. You can be young or older. You can be heavy or slim. Big or small. It just don't really matter with a scoot. You can do off-road, or on-road. Hey, you're surfing society on a scoot. It's cooler than cool.

Hey, it's almost perfect. The only thing lacking right now is that "not enough people are doing IT." But, surely that's about to change, right?!

Whatever. Let's compare the price of a 1 ton (plus) automobile with a scoot. Automobile approx USD $25,000. Scooter approx USD $1500. Dare I say more?

Of course electric scooters are better than gas scooters. Ok, I'm just joking. That is really up to you. Electric scooters have the advantage of less noise/air pollution and are apparently allowed on public transport. But gas scooters seem to have more distance and staying power. And probably higher speeds. But, you know, I don't want to travel at high speeds, just comfortable speeds. Speeds where I can look at people, at things, at stuff that interests me...

Sheesh you can't do that with a car. And, you know what, I don't always want to ride a bicycle. Sometimes scooters are just "easier" than all that.

Scooters are kick-starting life. Life should be easy. It doesn't need to be difficult or filled with angst or stress. You can can do the things you need to do enjoyably. Make the errand trip enjoyable. It's not big bikkies to save up for. Scooters have do-able prices on them. Anyway what's a good mountain bike worth nowadays?

“We sell to many teenage customers, college students, as well as people in bigger metro areas looking for more economic travel and parking options,” Turner said. “I would estimate that 50 percent of our customers buy scooters for primary transportation and 50 percent buy them as a toy.” (From The Associated Press 2005)
