Our Featured gas scooters ArticleChoosing a Gas Scooter
By Matthew Smith
Big, Bad and Fast. That is what used to be the cry from the streets when it came to
gas scooters. These days, people everywhere are parking their SUV�s and hopping on a gas scooter for their short trips. How do you choose the right gas scooter? The answers are simpler than you think.
Choosing a gas scooter is not rocket science, but it does take some thought. You need to determine where your going to ride it, whether you want an electric start, as well as how much you want to spend on it. Taking into consideration these primary factors, you can make a decisive decision that will not leave you with a gas scooter that does not meet your particular need.
Where are you going to ride your gas scooter? Gas scooters come in two main types; On road and off road. Depending on where you plan to ride your gas scooter, will determine which type you purchase.
Off-Road: Gas scooters that are used off-road will have a stronger reinforced frame with a more robust suspension system. Off road enthusiasts race through trails and dirt tracks and some have jumps, so the gas scooter must be able to handle this type of abuse. The off road gas scooters will have fat knobby tires, averaging in sizes from eight to ten inches. Most off road gas scooters will have a mid level suspension system usually towards the back of the footplate to absorb impact and prevent the plate and frame from breaking.
On-Road: The on-road, or street gas scooters are most popular. These gas scooters are used for every type of transportation from getting to the office, school, going to the store as well as racing. There are basic types that blue collar workers and college kids use to get to their destination without having to rely on an automobile. There are performance gas scooters that are for the extremist and can hit forty-five to fifty miles per hour. Street gas scooters come with a variety of options and vary in the types of wheels that they have. The wheels on the street scooters can be anywhere from six inches up to ten inches. Street gas scooter tires are either slicks for racing, or grooved tread for road grip.
Another thing to consider is if you want the advantage of an electric start. Electric start gas scooters are primarily available on the street gas scooters. With an electric start, you need a battery. The battery and start coil are housed under the scooter footplate n a built in box. This type of setup is more convenient. However, this adds considerable weight to the scooter. You will not see an electric start on a performance gas scooter. They don�t want to be bogged down by all the extra weight.
How much do you want to spend on your gas scooter? The basic street gas scooters are relatively cheap for all that you get. The average adult street gas scooter will only set you back a couple of hundred dollars. While a performance gas scooter for either off road or on road racing can get as high as the thousands. Spend your money wisely.

More gas scooters ItemsIf you work outside, then you need a flat area of concrete. A level space for scooter tuning will mean that when you set down a tool, it won't roll away. You also need to be sure little kids or inquisitive pets don't decide to trot off with your tools when your back is turned. If your friend has such an area, ask if you can work there rather than at home.

Most scooters need a minimum of 100 psi in compression in order to run start and properly. Compression should be checked when the scooter engine is warm. However, that's hard to do if your scooter is not running. So, just hook up a compression gauge and open up the throttle all the way. Crank the scooter until the needle on the compression gauge stops moving. This should take no more than 5 seconds. Very roughly, 100-125 psi is good, 125-150 psi is very good, and 150+ psi is great. If you don't have this level of compression, then you have bad valves and/or bad piston rings. If you want, you can add a teaspoon or so of oil to the engine through the spark plug hole. Then try the compression test again. If compression is higher, then it's likely you have bad rings. The oil will seal the rings and give you better compression. If compression is the same, then you have bad/misadjusted valves.

In the last couple of years, a lot of scooters have turned up for sale on eBay and Craig's List... from Vietnam. There are millions of Italian scoots in SE Asia, and a pretty big business in restoration has grown up around Saigon. Some of them even look pretty spiffy! But, my gawd, the horror stories about these restorations! Home-made parts, kilos of Bondo-like filler, even dangerous things (cracked welds, bad brakes, undersized or parted cables, painted-over or hidden casting failures). WATCH OUT.

Any person who uses skateboards, bikes or motorcycles must always utilize protective wear such as knee and elbow pads and a helmet. The same should apply to a child using an electric kid scooter. Remember to coach your child to always use a helmet the moment you give him or her a scooter. This way, your child will get used to the idea of wearing protective wear.
