How To Locate A Scooter Repair Shop

By Komal Sinha

Many people hesitate to buy a Chinese scooter because they fear they will not find a mechanic to work on their scooter in the event it needs repairs.

Unless one lives in a remote area, it should be fairly easy to find a mechanic that works on Chinese scooters. Here is what we do when a customer needs to locate a scooter repair shop:

1. Go to maps.google.com
2. Click 'Find Businesses'
3. Enter 'motorcycle repair' under 'What'
4. Enter the zip code of the area being searched under 'Where'

Ignore all one brand shops (Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Vespa...) and custom chopper shops; but do call all the multi-brand and all others from the resulting list.

When talking to a potential mechanic, consider the following: many mechanics are reluctant to work on Chinese scooters because they either had one in and could not get parts for it, or they heard about some horror stories where a scooter stayed in the shop for 6 months with no parts. If the mechanic that is closest is refusing to work on the scooter, ask if they would accept to work on it if both the scooter and the replacement part would be brought in at the same time. It may take a little convincing but it is not hard to find a mechanic.

It's a good idea to locate a scooter repair shop prior to buying a scooter, but it is not a prerequisite. Only people in remote areas should worry about finding a repair shop.

Let's Look At More electric scooters



How was the old gas? Did the gasoline smell old? If the scooter has been sitting over a year or so, the gasoline will turn into a varnish-like stuff. Then you'll have some serious cleaning to do. The gasoline will have evaporated for the most part, leaving a sludgy, molassas like substance in the gas tank, petcock, fuel lines, and the carb. All of these parts will have to be cleaned. This is especially a problem in the carburetor. Thoroughly flush out the gas tank and gas lines with new gas. I've had good luck using the old gas (in small quantities at a time) in my truck.

Know Your Scooter

By Jean Butler

Become familiar with the scooter before you ride. Read and understand instructional manuals. Check the controls. Read and understand all safety and warning labels on your scooter. Ride very cautiously until you become familiar with the way the scooter handles. Take turns slowly and give yourself extra stopping distance.

Riding your gas scooter or electric scooter with control and safety will require practice. Anyone that will be riding the scooter needs to know the proper way to ride his or her scooter. This will help ensure that you get the most mileage out of your scooter and that you avoid potential accidents by riding incorrectly. You must learn to stand firm on the scooter but relaxed, keeping your weight between the wheels. Don't stand too close to the front or too far back on the scooter. Be sure to shift your weight to the rear when applying brakes, and lean forward when accelerating. Keep feet apart for more stability.

Gently steer the scooter into your turn without any jerky motions. Adjust your balance to keep the scooter upright. Always approach turns very carefully.

Front brakes provide most of your stopping power. Practice at a safe speed until you are comfortable with how they work.

Ride your scooter in a safe place away from other vehicles and in an area which will not disturb other people or animals. Be sure the riding area is a clean and dry surface. Do not ride in high traffic areas.

Scooting can be a useful, safe and fun way to get around town!

Scooters are a common sight in many European countries as well as in Asia and are becoming more common in the United States. The scooter is unique in that it has a smaller engine than a motorcycle and this does affect how fast the scooter can go, but sometimes speed isn't everything. Gas efficiency, however, can be a big component on the popularity of the scooter.

Buying the Right Electric Scooter

By Jill Pinciotti

If you are shopping for a new electric scooters/a>, then you have probably seen a variety of different types and models. From portable travel scooters that fit in the trunk of a car to larger heavy duty scooters that resemble golf carts, there is a scooter that will fit almost any situation. A good understanding of the different types available will insure that you purchase the one that will best meet your needs.

Travel Scooters

Travel scooters can are available in both 3 and 4 wheel models however, most come in 3 wheel configurations to make them lighter. Travel electric scooters are perfect for the person that is on the road a lot and needs to take their scooter with them. Travel scooters can often be disassembled into smaller, lighter pieces to aid in transport. The overall weight of a travel scooter is also very light. The biggest disadvantage in purchasing a travel scooter is that they generally have a lower weight capacity, and do not come with as many features and options.

3 Wheel Scooters

3 wheel electric scooters are perfect for indoor maneuvering. 3 wheel scooters have a tighter turning radius so they are able to turn sharper and get around corners much easier. So, if you plan on using your mobility scooter a lot indoors then a 3 wheel scooter might be best suited for your needs.

4 Wheel Scooters

4 wheel electric scooters can be used both indoors and outdoors but don�t have quite the turning radius that a 3 wheel scooter has. 4 wheel scooters are perfect for outdoor maneuverability where the terrain is not smooth and because of its 4 wheels instead of 3, there is increased stability and traction over the 3 wheel model. Most of the time 4 wheel scooters will also feature larger wheels and a better suspension system just for that purpose. If you will be spending more time driving your electric scooter outdoors then a 4 wheel scooter will definitely benefit you more.

Heavy Duty Scooters

Heavy duty electric scooters generally have higher weight capacities than their counterparts. The weight capacities are usually around 400-500lbs for most HD scooters. On top of having higher weight capacities, heavy duty electric scooters also have wider seats and are constructed a little longer to give more leg room.

Now that you know the types of electric scooters available and their strengths and weaknesses, you can make the most informed decision possible.

New Style New Riders

By Michael Milstead

Verucci has introduced their lasted 150cc scooter as the Viper 150 Turbo SE. With a look of a touring motorcycle like a Honda Goldwing the Viper Turbo will catch your and fool you as not believing this could be a scooter. With speed of 65mph that has you keeping up with all traffic plus the benefits of 60 to 80mpg is a real gas savings that you can bank on. Ridding scooters has become a way of life for many people being squeezed with the soaring gas prices since hurricane Katrina.

With more riders every year buying scooters it�s not just for one gender. More and more women are picking up on the scooter craze for fun and saving gas. Replacing the second car for running errands has become a main stay for women. A big reason for this is you sit on a scooter rather than straddle like a motorcycle. With TV ads using scooters to sell their wares with a pink scooter ridden by a pretty girl this just sets in motion the emotions needed for a scooter purchase. With a pink scooter you can really make an impression and some sites cater just to the female scooter rider.

If you are consider a scooter purchase there are some choices for you with the newer styles being added late in 2005. The very popular Retro styles and the 150cc scooters seem to lead the pack in terms of sales. The Euro style holds its own always with the most sales. The 150cc scooters are picking up once consumers realized the benefits of the added power for speed you get with a larger scooter.
