Hello you're about to leave home for a few errands. You ask your souse if there's anything you can do for her while you're out. When she says to pick up a book they are holding for her at the library,  it's hard to find a parking spot there. You can do this on the electric bike. You put the garage door
opener into your pocket, jump on your e-bike and pass your neighbor's house before the door even closes. Temperature is mild and the sun is still shining. Late afternoon it is great to be outdoors - not  stuck in time driving. You pass your neighbors waiting at the gas station 60 to 80 miles per gallon, four stroke engine.

Sure enough, cars are circling the parking lot looking for a parking spot like vultures. You ride past them to the front door, lock the bike, and walk inside. Within two minutes you're out again, you realize that most of the time spent on these errands is just getting around, not actually doing them. At the parking lot exit is a line of cars waiting to turn right. You roll past them and make a right into the bike lane. No wonder those cars were waiting there is a lot of traffic here in urban transit world. Two passenger seating
On the way home you swing by the shopping center to get a video. You think is there anything else while I'm here, yes at the other end of the center is the grocery store, we're about out of milk. Biking along you realize how annoying it used to be going from one end of the center to the other, and then back again to the car. Now it's fun. Maybe it's that feeling of beating the system by rolling past all those cars. Or the satisfaction of accomplishing so much in such a short time.

Traffic stress goes down enjoyment and convenience goes up and doesn't leave your wallet empty to do so.

Riding a moped is about waving to your neighbors, talking to people at crosswalks, enjoying your own power, coasting down the hill with a bit of wind, paying attention to the cracks in the road, always being able to park in front of the store, lock your bike feel like a kid. It's a part of what the moped urban transit is about enjoying the ride, the getting there as much as the being there, the effort as much as the reward. Return home for the next ride - not to the gas station.

The investment and operating costs are small. Riding an smart scooter does make a difference in the traffic congestion, a difference in the air quality, a difference in the shape of body, and a difference in state of mind.

Everyone is looking for an alternative solution to ever rising gas prices. Short of walking to work or using public transportation, there is only one other feasible option: the motor scooter. Of course, there are factors one should consider before switching to the two-wheeled motor bike.

One of the great advantages about the scooter is the compatibility to all age and style groups. While motorcycles are certainly not a good fit for everyone, the scooter on the other hand can easily be used by young and old, as well as across all groups of society.

Motor scooters (sometimes called mopeds or go peds) are commonly purchased for use by children and teenagers, most of whom do not even possess a valid license to drive. Licensed drivers have had a certain amount of training behind the wheel of a car, unlike many motor scooter drivers under the age of 16. Without proper training children and young teenagers can easily find themselves in positions that experienced drivers normally would not.

Darting in and out of traffic with little driving experience, on a motor scooter that is so small it cannot be seen by other drivers, poses a hazard to both the scooter driver and other motorists traveling the highway. To be safe a motor scooter driver must think of himself as being invisible to the other drivers making their way down the busy streets. A scooter driver cannot assume that other drivers will see them.

A safe approach for a scooter driver would be to assume that they are completely invisible to other drivers and then act accordingly. A motor scooter rider must be ready to maneuver out of harm's if another driver makes a sudden unexpected movement. Being safe means staying alert at all times. Being safe also means following the rules of the road and not making unnecessary or risky moves in traffic that would cause their moped scooter to dart out in front of another moving vehicle. Automobile drivers must have time to react to a scooter driver's movements.

There are many reasons to own a motorized scooter. They are often used for traveling short distances around the neighborhood to perform errands. Due to their size, fuel-efficiency, weight, and typically larger storage room than a motorcycle, they are ideal in this situation. Caution in the hands of the youth, without any previous driving experience, they can be deadlyKids often think of motor scooters as toys, not as adult vehicles, a scooter is not a toy. It's a potentially dangerous motor vehicle subject to certain laws and regulations. Also, youth often think of themselves as being immune to automobile driving regulations and immune to accidents as well. "It won't happen to me" is a very common attitude among the youth. But it's precisely this attitude that can get them into trouble.

Value - Like the Vespa moped which has been around since 1946 and older models are highly valued and a symbol of stylish personal transportation. The pass-through leg area design was geared towards all user groups, including women, as wearing dresses or skirts made riding a motorcycle a challenge. The front fork, like an aircraft's landing gear, allowed for easy wheel changing. The internal mesh transmission eliminated the standard motorcycle chain, a source of oil, dirt, and aesthetic misery. 

Bike Performance depends on many factors. 

  1. terrain number and incline of hills

  2. wind conditions going 10 mph against a 10 mph headwind feels like 20 to the bike

  3. correct tire inflation under-inflated tires slow you down

  4. weight of rider and baggage

By Definition Mopeds are a class of low-powered motorized vehicles, generally two-wheeled. Moped classification is designed to allow the use of small motorized vehicles, avoiding the safety restrictions and licensing charges required of larger motorcycles. A scooter is a style of motorcycle with certain design characteristics such as a step-through frame, small wheels, automatic transmission and small engine. The general definition of a scooter is evolving as motorcycle designs have changed over time. Historically, a scooter was noted for a small engine, small wheels, a step-through design, a forward fairing with floorboards, and possibly under-seat storage. Modern scooters cover a broad spectrum of cycle design: step-through design or step-over design, small or large wheels, front fairings or floor boards, under-seat storage or not, and manual or automatic transmissions. Most scooters today feature automatic transmissions.

The classic scooter design features a step-through frame and a flat floorboard for the rider's feet. This design is possible because the scooter engine and drive system, transferring power to the rear wheel, is either attached to the rear axle or under the seat. In contrast to a frame mounted motorcycle engine, this front-hinged arrangement allows the engine to swing vertically in conjunction with the motion of the rear wheel. Older Vespas, most vintage scooters, and some newer retro models have axle mounted engines with a manual transmission with the gear shift and clutch controls built into the left handlebar. Most newer scooters use a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).

In contrast to most motorcycles, scooters generally feature bodywork, including a front leg shield and body that conceals all or most of the mechanicals. There is often some integral storage space, either under the seat, built into the front leg shield, or both. Most modern motor scooters have smaller wheels than motorcycles, between eight and 12 inches (20-28 cm) in diameter (though maxi- and big-wheel scooters may have larger wheels). Most scooters have smaller engines than motorcycles (between 30 cc and 250 cc with a single cylinder, though larger models have twin cylinder 400 to 650 cc. motors).

Most jurisdictions have no legal definition for scooter. In general, 50 cc and under scooters are classified in most states and countries as a moped and are subject to reduced safety restrictions and licensing fees. Scooters above 50 cc are generally legally considered motorcycles, although some states have an in-between definition for motorized bike for scooters and motorcycles between 50 and 150 cc.
