With rising gas prices, more people are turning to motorized scooters because of the super mileage they get.

Then, too, scooters are lighter and easier to control than full-sized motorcycles.

You can find gas scooters from micro 50cc to 250cc motors.

In European and Asian countries, gas scooters, or Motorized Scooters, have long been a popular form of transportation because they are easy to maneuver and to park.

Gas scooters have come into notice more recently in the US with the 'green' movement. They are not only fuel efficient, but they are cheap to buy in comparison to cars or motorcycles.

Even the insurance on them is less expensive because of their inability to go at high speeds.

Used and new gas scooters are available, including fun vintage models. Several companies in particular are known for their scooters—GoPed, Vespa, Yamaha, Piaggo, and X-Treme.
