How to Buy a Cheap Electric Scooter

Electric scooters are the 'in' thing for those with limited mobility nowadays. Senior citizens and the handicapped find that using an electric scooter is more convenient that getting around in a wheelchair because aside from the fact that they are easier to operate, they can also get them farther. Wheelchairs can go only as far as a few meters, but scooters can run for several miles.

But since electric scooters are still a relatively new concept, the price tag can be a bit overwhelming. For an ordinary electric scooter, you stand to spend around $700. This can be pretty steep for someone who works within a fixed budget. However, this doesn't mean that it is only for the rich. You can actually buy cheap electric scooters, if you only know how and where to find them.

First off, the Internet is a haven for just about any kind and brand of cheap electric scooter. You can buy an electric scooter for a lower price because it is out of date or if it has already been used. Before you make your purchase, however, you should find out the unit's history first and if it had undergone repairs in the past. Also, check its mileage and any signs of wear.

Second, check out vehicle auctions. Some people trade in their electric scooters to get a loan with creditors, and if these people are not able to pay, their scooters are sold to the public at a very low price. Not all vehicle auctions have electric scooters in their roster, but it's definitely worth a try.

Third, watch out for store sales. Yes, even electric scooters are included in motor parts sales, sometimes, so it's best to be friends with the staff so you get information about a sale earlier than anybody else does. This way, you get a headstart on the kinds of electric scooters available and you can search the Internet for reviews.

Cheap electric scooters are possible, so if you don't have much money, you don't have to worry. All you need is a little bit of skill, ingenuity and resourcefulness to catch the sales when they happen.

Choosing A Kids Electric Scooter

The door slams and it’s your child bragging about his friends’ new scooter. For the next few days, all you hear is how cool it is and how fast it goes. It’s obvious that your child wants an electric scooter too, but which kids electric scooter is right for them?

Kids scooters have come a long way over the years. Forget about those kick scooters or push scooters. Those are old hat and kids electric scooters are gaining ground. How do you decide from all the different kids electric scooters which is right for your child? Take these issues into consideration when deciding on your scooter investment.

Kids electric scooters come in a variety of shapes and sizes and depending on several factors, including age of rider, size of rider, maturity level of rider will play a major role in deciding which electric scooter is right for you.

The age of the rider, along with the size of the rider are important in deciding on a scooter. The average 100 watt kids electric scooter is simple to operate and is perfect for ages 5-8. But even at age 8, it may be a bit small.

Most 100 watt and 140 watt electric scooters come with hard, solid rubber wheels. Though these wheels are good for this scooter, people are not told that with a rough road or rough riding surface, the wheels will get chewed up and in time, you will be replacing the wheels on these scooters. These scooters are rated to carry loads of up to 120 lbs, some rate as high as 200 lbs. However, our recommendation for these types of electric scooters would be no more than 60-70 lbs.

The 250 watt kids electric scooter is perfect for ages 6-14. Starting with these scooters, the tires are rubber with inner-tubes. This provides for a much smoother ride, along with a lasting tire. These scooters can handle the weight, as long as the inflation recommendation are maintained.

For electric scooters that are 350 watts or higher, kids or adults can usually get around nicely on these. The 350 watt electric scooters are also known as kids electric scooters, because that is what is seen throughout neighborhoods around the country. These scooters are built for speed, convenience, durability and safety. These scooters are for both kids and adults. If the child is mature enough to handle this type of scooter, then the 350 watt will not disappoint and for the older child, the 500 watt will not be outgrown.

Before Buying a Motor Scooter

A motor scooter is a skateboard with a motor attached so that you don't have to use one foot to push your self along. It has a handle that you can hold on to and use for steering. Some models look more like motorcycles than scooters with a seat so that the rider can be really comfortable. This type of vehicle can be gas powered or electric and can reach top speeds of 20 miles and hour. The electric models are cheaper and quieter, even though the gas scooters, being more expensive and noisy, are more popular.

The motorized scooter first came on the market back in the 1970s. Many of the early models required the rider to start pedaling before the engine would actually start. Today the scooters that you see on the market are a dressed up version of these early mopeds. They do not have any pedals, because a rider does not have to put any exertion into getting the engine running. While they are still in the 50cc category, they do go a little faster than the older models.

Some states and provinces have specific laws regarding the use of motorized scooters on the roads. While they do not require insurance, the rider usually does require a license to drive one. This means that safety regulations must be adhered to because the driver has to pass a test in order to receive the license. He/she must also wear a helmet when riding. However, you cannot ride this type of scooter on the regular roadways. You are usually limited to bike paths or the sides of the road where you do not impede the traffic.

Cheap Transportation for That RV Pit Stop

More and more people are taking to the open road. These days, the trips are getting shorter, but the length of stay is getting longer. There seems to be another phenomena taking place. You don’t see all the extra vehicles tagging along behind these RVs’. Did they give up their pit stop transportation? I think not.

Just about any person you talk to that has an RV will tell you that they have heard of the next wave in alternative transportation. It’s cheap, portable and gets them where they need to go in a jiff.

What is all of the ruckus? Two words - Electric Scooters. Electric scooters have become all the rage with the RV generation. Electric scooters today are compact, fast and convenient.
Electric scooters today are compact: In the old days, electric scooters were not compact. Today, most electric scooters are capable of folding down for easy storage. With this advent, RV owners love the fact that they can fit right inside the RV without being in the way. The electric scooter can be stored in a closet or in a cubby inside most RV’s.

Electric Scooters are fast: As compared to the scooters of yesterday, today’s electric scooters are much more powerful. The average speeds of electric scooters today range anywhere from fifteen miles per hour, all the way up to twenty-five or thirty miles per hour. There are a few higher end models that can reach up to forty-five to a whopping fifty miles per hour, but those would require a cargo rack for the back of your RV. The higher end models will not fit comfortably inside your RV.

Electric Scooters are convenient: When there are some short trips to take or to take I the sights, all you need to do is pull out your electric scooter, hop on and away you go. You don’t have to worry about any added expense; like gas or oil.

Electric scooters pay for themselves. Think about all the money that you can and will save on gas. Just by taking out your electric scooter a few times, you will have paid for it with the money you saved by not filling up. What does that mean to you? You will have more money to spend on your trip and when you’re done, fold it up and put it away conveniently. No worries.

So, if you have an RV and you’re used to towing your gas guzzler behind, you can park the car, get an electric scooter and hit the trails. You owe it to yourself to not let the cost of gas get in your way. Besides, electricity is much cheaper and better for the environment.

Gas Prices Is It A HOT Topic, Get A Moped or Scooter.

Does it seem like you are talking about gas prices with someone every day. I know I am. It is getting out of hand I want to go camping 150 miles away from my house and I am going to spend about $180.00 for gas. That is if it does not jump 25 cents in the next few days. I think I could buy a weekend ticket to Vegas and leave all the cleaning behind when I come home. With camping I have a lot of things to clean and put away.

Maybe I can buy a Moped or Scooter put a small trailer on it and leave the motorhome behind.

Mopeds and Scooters Are Becoming A Hot Item Because Of Gas.

Gas prices sure are getting out of hand. What is going to happen with this country if when everything keeps going up in cost because of the gas prices?

A hot topic on the streets is Scooters and Mopeds.

I have been riding my motorcycle more to work. My wife puts about three thousand miles a month on her car. So you know her gas bill is kicking us in the rear.

I found this website with mopeds and scooters I am seriously considering on getting an Gas Powered Moped. 80 to 100 miles per gallon. That would save me at least $13.00 dollars a week and I only live eight miles from work.
