Motorized Scooters

Motorized Scooters are essentially two wheeled vehicles that have a smaller engine of 50cc or less or a smaller electric motor.   The most common kinds are seated scooters, mopeds, standup electric gas or electric scooters, and segways.   Almost all of these scooters can travel up to 5 to 20 miles and offer a traveling distance of 5 to 20 miles before a charge or fill-up.

This is where the similarities end as the different models vary from their function.   Segways are standing vehicles that offer more range of motion and currently a good amount of novelty.   Mopeds and seated scooters offer a more common ride of a classic scooter with a smaller motor or engine.   This smaller motor or engine allows them greater gas mileage; however, they sacrifice some speed compared to motor scooters. 

This smaller engine does also bring a smaller price tag.   Motorized scooters with the exception of the Segway can be purchased for $500 up to $1,500.   Segways will generally run you over $4,000 for a new model.

Motorized Scooters are probably the most economical scooter on the market.   They offer many of the advantages of motor scooters with great gas mileage and excellent maneuverability.   Armed with a smaller price tag, they definitely are well positioned to make their mark in the industry.
