Scooter are a very practical and economical vehicle choice for lovers of two-wheel transportation. A scooter offers a greater ease of driving compared to a motorcycle. Ideal for young people and active city dwellers, scooters are more suitable for city driving and generally save the rider a lot of time.
Here are our tips to help you buy the scooter that suits you best!
WHAT LICENSE FOR A SCOOTER?
To drive a scooter in Canada, you must be at least 14 years old and hold a class 6D driver’s permit.
HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR SCOOTER?
Choosing a scooter involves a number of considerations. First of all, scooters can have either large or small wheels. Large wheels are more comfortable and have better braking, while small wheels offer better handling in the city. This choice depends on the levels of flexibility and stability you want.
There are two types of scooter engines available. Again, this choice depends on the intended use, the age of the rider and the budget. These types are:
– The 2-stroke engine: more reactive than a 4-stroke engine, it offers a more powerful acceleration.
– The 4-stroke engine: it’s a more elaborate engine; its complete cycle is done in 4 strokes. In this engine, the piston makes two round trips per revolution of the crankshaft to complete a full cycle, which gives 4 movements.
Beyond those options, you can also choose an electric scooter. It offers several advantages, in terms of the environment, your health and your budget.
Indeed, the main characteristic of electric scooters is that they’re powered by electricity stored in a battery. As such, electric scooters do not consume fuel and therefore do not emit any polluting gases.
Once you’ve decided on the make and model of your scooter, you should then contact your dealer.
