Scooters, like people, come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The size of your scooter should depend on both on who will be riding it and its intended purpose. Here’s a look at the standard options for gas scooters, with similarly corresponding options available in electric, listed by engine capacity:50 CC A 50 CC engine is usually supported by a smaller frame as well. These scooters travel at lower speeds than their bigger engine counterparts. Both younger and smaller drivers may benefit from this option’s lightweight and ease of handling. If you have an insatiable need for speed, however, a 50 CC might not cut it as such scooters usually max out at no more than 40 miles per hour. The 50 CC will also offer the best gas mileage at 90 miles per gallon, requiring less to run and accelerating at a slower rate.150 CC Noticeably more powerful than the base 50 CC model, a 150 CC scooter offers an upgrade in speed and performance capability for riders comfortable with their abilities and strong enough to handle a slightly larger machine. 150 CC scooters can travel up to 60 miles per hour, still requiring less gas than any standard automobile, making it a great choice for those who might travel longer distances.250 CC The largest standard size available, the 250 CC is a prime candidate for seasoned vets who intend to use their scooter for highway commutes. The 250 CC will once again be larger than the models with smaller engines and cost more up-front and in gas money. Capable of reaching top end speeds near 75 miles per hour, a 250 CC will hold its own, even on interstates, often looked at a transitional bike for aspiring motorcycle drivers.
