Scooters And Electric Scooters

Is a scooter a motorcycle, or is a motorcycle a scooter? A motor scooter, aka a scooter, is technically a motorcycle. Your scooter might not be titled as a motorcycle, depending on where you live, but two wheels, a motor, and a seat make it a motorcycle—so we cover them. A scooter’s low cost of ownership and simplicity to operate make it an attractive form of transportation among people who commute by themselves and their maneuverability makes them one of the easiest ways to navigate congested city centers. While not as popular in the United States, scooters are adored around the globe, with a large presence in developing and developed nations alike.
