Mopeds have come a long way from their early days as glorified bicycles and nerd-haulers. They aren't just for geeks anymore, but have grown up into stylish and sleek performance machines. The Vectrix VX-1 is one of the top machines on this list and is fast becoming the world's leader in all-electric, road worthy electric mopeds. Even the NYPD is fielding them! These mopeds (they look more like a small motorcycle to me) debuted in America in 2006 and went into broader national sales in 2008 and are now available in most major cities in both the U.S.A. and the EU. The '08 and '09 models retail for about $11,000 (before rebates or incentives) with all the trimmings and are made (for the most part) in...

Electricity-powered scooters and bicycles share some common characteristics - both are propelled by electric motors with rechargeable batteries - but have some key differences as well that consumers should consider before making a purchase. Electric scooters...

Whether its buying a generic rip-off or buying from an un-reputable seller, there are too many mistakes that you can make as an ill-informed buyer.

The Reitwagen/Hildebrand & Wolfmueller The history of motor scooters dates back to the 1800s. Gottlieb Daimler's Reitwagen of 1885 was one of the earliest scooter models but only served as an experimental application for the engine. It was not manufactured in a series or developed any further. The first well-documented and successful example of motor scooters that was available for purchase was the Hildebrand & Wolfmueller. This scooter was patented in Munich, Bavaria. The Hildebrand & Wolfmueller was one with a step-through hollow tube frame which used a twin cylinder water-cooled engine, both of which were well advanced for that day and age. The rear wheel was driven by pistons similar...

If you're looking to buy a new motor scooter there are a few things you should know about engine size and type that will save you a lot of headache later on. First of all there are two main types of engines: two stroke and four stroke. Depending on which kind you buy, a motor scooter can either be an enjoyable experience or a frustrating one. So it is important to choose the right kind of scooter. Another big factor in how well your experience with motor scooters will be is what size of engine you get.

You know the saying, Everything old becomes new again someday. Well, this is true for mopeds too. A lot of scooter producers are coming out with new scooters that look like the old ones. I think it's awesome. I really like the way retro vehicles look. Scooters like the Honda Metropolitan and the Vespa GVS 250 look like classic scooters from days gone by. Around the beginning of the 20th century, scooters made there way to the market in Europe. They resembled what we think of as a moped in today's world. A bike with a motor attached is kind of a crude way to think of it. By the late 1910's people in the USA were driving scooters, but they still never reached the popularity of the auto mobile. Here is...

A while back I was standing at the gas pump complaining to myself about the high gas prices. I decided right then that there had to be a better way; something that provided for convenient transportation, but at a lower cost. That's when I decided to investigate the various options in way of an electric scooter. There were several questions that immediately came into my mind about this plan.

Electric Scooters have been around for several decades. In the old days, when you bought an electric scooter, you would be lucky to get eight to ten miles out of a charge and would be thrilled to go as fast as twelve miles per hour. That was then. These days, electric scooters can get as much as twenty to thirty miles on a charge and can easily cruise at speeds up to in excess of twenty to twenty-five miles per hour. If you have been toying around with just replacing your old time scooter, you do have a few choices. You can either retire your old scooter or you can upgrade. Most if not the majority of scooter dealers will tell you either that it can't be done, or it's a waste of money. As a...

Among the portable and compact vehicles we have today, perhaps there is none the safer for kids than an electric scooter. Of course, by kids, we mean those aged 10 and up, who already know better than to poke their fingers in places where they shouldn't. So, to answer the question, yes, electric scooters can also be for kids' use. The fact that electric scooters are very easy to use and does not require gas to run, kids do not find any problem handling it. If the battery weakens, all they have to do is plug the unit to an electrical outlet and it already starts charging for the next use. Compared to the gas powered scooter, an electric scooter is safer for kids' use because they don't have to keep...

Motor scooters don't go as fast as motorcycles, but they must obey the same traffic laws. Scooter safety laws also require scooter operators to wear a helmet, and have a valid driver's license (or permit). But in Massachusetts, there is still one big difference between motorcycles and motor scooters: Motorized scooters may not be operated at a speed exceeding 20 miles per hour.

If you're considering getting an electric moped sometime soon, you're definitely not alone. Many people are contemplating taking this step for a variety of reasons. These people are either those who need something a bit more robust than a simple bicycle, but can't exactly justify getting a motorcycle or a car. These people tend to live in urban environments where traffic can be a problem, but mass transportation is rather nonexistent. For example, the Los Angeles metropolitan area is known for the large numbers of mopeds on the roads. They simply make more sense, particularly when you're riding on roads that don't go above 20 to 30 miles per hour. However, most people who've purchased a moped within...

There was a time when electric vehicles of all kinds were laughed at. There did not seem to be a breakthrough on the horizon when it came to price, battery technology and speed. But with the recent launch of the Ego Electric Scoota, things are changing fast. When Sir Clive Sinclair launched his C5 electric vehicle in 1985 he was, in many ways, ahead of the game. The design, however, was not good. Never before have so many cartoonists gone to town on one subject. It was ridiculed like no other vehicle before or since. And, to be fair, it looked awful. Little did he know that it would be over twenty years before electric vehicles would be taken seriously. It's only now that battery technology has...

Thanks to the Internet, finding ATV for sale is no longer as difficult as it used to be where people had to travel far just to get the ATV that they want. Finding ATV for sale have never been easier now because...

Are you searching for cheap scooter insurance? The term scooter is very broad. You could be talking about a small little bike - we used to call them mobile hairdryers although the proper term is a moped. The top speed is about twenty miles per hour so you wouldn't be using them to travel very far. On the other hand you can have scooters that can go at 100 miles per hour, not that you would be travelling that fast as it breaks most speed limits. These resemble motorbikes and you can expect to pay similar premiums for auto accident cover. When looking at insurance costs, whether you own a scooter or a moped will play a part. These two vehicles carry different safety restrictions as well as engine...

With Gas prices reaching $3.00 per gallon for regular unleaded (and rising), it is no wonder that people are turning to alternative methods of transportation. We have seen a recent surge of 50cc / 125cc / 150cc Moped Scooter sales at ExtremeMotorSales Customers main reason? Can't afford increase in gas prices! A single tank of gas can last up to a month and with an average of a gallon tank size, this means significant savings for scooter owners.

With an average scooter ranging less than $1000, it will pay for itself in 4 months. After...
