Gasoline Power Scooters Might Be The Right Machines To Save Gas
Have you been thinking about getting a gas driven two-wheeler? If you have, gas powered scooters are probably the best machines to start with. The majority of people who buy gas powered scooters are concerned about whether a gas powered scooter is street legal in traffic. This is not surprising every car driver has had the misfortune to get stuck behind a slow gas powered scooter at some time or another and has wished that the scooter would get out of his way.
The speed of those gas powered scooters was virtually non-existent. all in the past, modern gas powered scooters can keep up the flow. It may not be street legal to take a gas powered scooter or any scooter on the highways or motorways, but they do have the capability to travel at high speeds, although the constant speed necessary to keep up with the flow of highway traffic may overwhelm a gas powered scooter. They are just not designed for sustained high speed travel.
Despite all this, gas powered scooters are almost the same as smaller versions of motorcycles. They can reach a top speed of about 75 mph. That's not so, eh? But it is ideal for zipping around town as they were designed for doing.
As for fuel consumption, most gas powered motor scooters are can achieve 65 mpg, which is quite exceptional mileage. And they usually have a gas tank that can hold about three gallons of fuel giving a range of about 200 miles.
Or to put it another way, if you used your gas powered scooter every day, every month you would probably have to fill the gas powered scooter up 3 to 4 times say, once a week, if that. If you compare that to a car's mileage per gallon, it is probably between a fifth and a quarter of the cost, or even less if you are talking about big cars like SUVs. That is a massive economy with the way gas prices are sure to be going.
Gas powered motor scooters are so very easy to operate too. Riders will not have a problem with learning how to change gears like with a motorcycle, as they are usually automatic or semi-automatic these days. All the rider will have to do is: get on, turn the key and twist the grip for gas. That is it and the scooter will smoothly take off in the direction you point it.
With regard to the issue of maintenance, maintenance for a gas powered scooter is pretty much like the maintenance on a motorcycle, car or truck. The motor scooters oil should be changed every 2,000 miles or so and a complete tune-up should be carried out every 5,000 miles. This may vary slightly according to the manufacturers recommendations. It is recommended that one of the higher grade fuels be used for gas powered scooters.
It is of course your decision, but a general guideline is that 87 octane fuel is cheaper than all the other choices because the lower the number the less refined is the gas, so it is not as clean as 91 or 93 octane fuel. 93 octane has an agent added to the fuel that will guard the moving parts of the engine and help to keep it running smoothly over your gas powered scooters long length of life.
Last but not least, change the fuel filter often as this will help keep dirt and build-up from entering your engine thereby causing damage and check the spark plugs every 2,000 to 3,000 miles and, as necessary, adjust the gap with feeler gauges. This should help preserve your gas powered scooter and keep it on the road giving great, inexpensive service for many years to come.
