subject: Why The Scooter Is A Cost Effective Alternative To The Car For The Commuter [print this page] Scooters are more than simply cost effective alternatives to cars. Theyre also more eco-friendly, and theyll get you to work on time for the first time in years!
A commuter scooter can nip in and out of the obligatory standstill rush hour traffic so while everyone else is cursing, anyone riding sports scooters or retro scooters to work is there in plenty of time to get a cup of tea on the go and ease into the day stress free. Provided of course they use their 50cc scooters, 125cc scooters or 300cc scooters with the proper protective equipment.
Scooters have relatively tiny engines (as noted) which means much better fuel consumption for short journeys. Also, when you ride a commuter scooter you dont have to stop and start so much, which further improves your vehicles capacity for fuel economy. Its the stopping and starting in endless traffic jams that really nails fuel consumption in any combustion engine and scooters, as pointed out above, can just whizz through traffic jams as though they werent there.
Often you will find that using 50cc scooters, 125cc scooters or 300cc scooters to get to work puts you in line for cheaper parking, or in some cases free parking. Even municipal car parks have a few bays for charge-free scooter parking (in some towns, obviously there are different protocols in place from different local authorities). And you can get your retro scooters or sports scooters safely parked in much smaller spaces too meaning less driving around looking for somewhere to park and less worrying about your overall time and fuel consumption.
The cost of maintaining a commuter scooter is minute compared to the average cost of car maintenance. And if you keep your car for family use but use only 50cc scooters, 125cc scooters or 300cc scooters to get to work, that means you will be knocking down the price of running your car at the same time as running the cheaper option of retro scooters or sports scooters.
A commuter scooter can be as much of a style statement as a cost saving option. Retro scooters mean you can zip trendily down the A roads in your suit and helmet, looking like an extra from Quadrophenia or the remake of Brighton Rock. While sports scooters give you a bit of modern racing style to go with your day.
The commuter scooter combines the appeal of sports and retro scooters into a hybrid with the nippiness and agility of the sports scooter and the stylish lines of a retro model. Meaning you get to choose the perfect scooter for your personality as well as saving a significant amount of money on petrol, road tax and maintenance.
