Safety is probably one of the last things on your mind when you're considering scooter tuning. But you can still get a powerful scooter without risking your life before you ever get on your news and improved scooter. First off, scooter tuning is going to cost you a pretty penny to get it done right - whether you do it yourself or hire someone else to do it. Don't let anyone tinker with your scooter just because their services are cheap. Expect to invest in proper scooter tuning.

Bermuda To Start Very Graphic Safety Campaign

Mon, 26 Jan 2009 09:00:00 +0200

On the tropical islands of the Bermudas, the authorities are starting a very graphical safety campaign in order to reduce the number of car & motorcycle road deaths .

They are using photos of what happened to people after an accident. With the use of blood and gore, they plan to shock the population, hoping that fewer people will drink & drive.

The shocking photos will be placed in public rest-rooms, bars and restaurants.

WARNING: IF YOU ARE EVEN A BIT SQUEAMISH ABOUT BLOOD, DO NOT READ OR CLICK ON THE LINK.

I am showing one of the photos so that maybe a few people who don't live on the island will think before they drink & drive.

Choosing A Kids Electric Scooter

By Matthew Smith

The door slams and it�s your child bragging about his friends� new scooter. For the next few days, all you hear is how cool it is and how fast it goes. It�s obvious that your child wants an electric scooter too, but which kids electric scooter is right for them?

Kids scooters have come a long way over the years. Forget about those kick scooters or push scooters. Those are old hat and kids electric scooters are gaining ground. How do you decide from all the different kids electric scooters which is right for your child? Take these issues into consideration when deciding on your scooter investment.

Kids electric scooters come in a variety of shapes and sizes and depending on several factors, including age of rider, size of rider, maturity level of rider will play a major role in deciding which electric scooter is right for you.

The age of the rider, along with the size of the rider are important in deciding on a scooter. The average 100 watt kids electric scooter is simple to operate and is perfect for ages 5-8. But even at age 8, it may be a bit small.

Most 100 watt and 140 watt electric scooters come with hard, solid rubber wheels. Though these wheels are good for this scooter, people are not told that with a rough road or rough riding surface, the wheels will get chewed up and in time, you will be replacing the wheels on these scooters. These scooters are rated to carry loads of up to 120 lbs, some rate as high as 200 lbs. However, our recommendation for these types of electric scooters would be no more than 60-70 lbs.

The 250 watt kids electric scooter is perfect for ages 6-14. Starting with these scooters, the tires are rubber with inner-tubes. This provides for a much smoother ride, along with a lasting tire. These scooters can handle the weight, as long as the inflation recommendation are maintained.

For electric scooters that are 350 watts or higher, kids or adults can usually get around nicely on these. The 350 watt electric scooters are also known as kids electric scooters, because that is what is seen throughout neighborhoods around the country. These scooters are built for speed, convenience, durability and safety. These scooters are for both kids and adults. If the child is mature enough to handle this type of scooter, then the 350 watt will not disappoint and for the older child, the 500 watt will not be outgrown.

How To Locate A Scooter Repair Shop

By Komal Sinha

Many people hesitate to buy a Chinese scooter because they fear they will not find a mechanic to work on their scooter in the event it needs repairs.

Unless one lives in a remote area, it should be fairly easy to find a mechanic that works on Chinese scooters. Here is what we do when a customer needs to locate a scooter repair shop:

1. Go to maps.google.com
2. Click 'Find Businesses'
3. Enter 'motorcycle repair' under 'What'
4. Enter the zip code of the area being searched under 'Where'

Ignore all one brand shops (Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Vespa...) and custom chopper shops; but do call all the multi-brand and all others from the resulting list.

When talking to a potential mechanic, consider the following: many mechanics are reluctant to work on Chinese scooters because they either had one in and could not get parts for it, or they heard about some horror stories where a scooter stayed in the shop for 6 months with no parts. If the mechanic that is closest is refusing to work on the scooter, ask if they would accept to work on it if both the scooter and the replacement part would be brought in at the same time. It may take a little convincing but it is not hard to find a mechanic.

It's a good idea to locate a scooter repair shop prior to buying a scooter, but it is not a prerequisite. Only people in remote areas should worry about finding a repair shop.

Assuming you have sufficient compression, try to squirt in a bit of starting fluid and then see if your scooter will start. If so, that's great! That means that you have sufficient compression and the proper spark. You should get the scooter to run for a second or so on starting fluid. If so, there's a good chance you can keep it running. One caution here - do not run your engine for very long on starting fluid because it's hard on the scooter engine.

Know Your Scooter

By Jean Butler

Become familiar with the scooter before you ride. Read and understand instructional manuals. Check the controls. Read and understand all safety and warning labels on your scooter. Ride very cautiously until you become familiar with the way the scooter handles. Take turns slowly and give yourself extra stopping distance.

Riding your gas scooter or electric scooter with control and safety will require practice. Anyone that will be riding the scooter needs to know the proper way to ride his or her scooter. This will help ensure that you get the most mileage out of your scooter and that you avoid potential accidents by riding incorrectly. You must learn to stand firm on the scooter but relaxed, keeping your weight between the wheels. Don't stand too close to the front or too far back on the scooter. Be sure to shift your weight to the rear when applying brakes, and lean forward when accelerating. Keep feet apart for more stability.

Gently steer the scooter into your turn without any jerky motions. Adjust your balance to keep the scooter upright. Always approach turns very carefully.

Front brakes provide most of your stopping power. Practice at a safe speed until you are comfortable with how they work.

Ride your scooter in a safe place away from other vehicles and in an area which will not disturb other people or animals. Be sure the riding area is a clean and dry surface. Do not ride in high traffic areas.

Scooting can be a useful, safe and fun way to get around town!

Next, you'll have to remove the carburetor and clean it. There are a low of tiny fuel and air passageways in the carb that must be clean it order for your scooter to run right. Carefully take the carb apart. This can be relative easy (on a 50cc scooter) or quite difficult (a Riva 180-200 has limited carb access and 8 separate hoses running to the carb). The carb has tiny passages that get gummed up. The scooter just will not run correctly if the carb is not completely clean, so take your time. I use a gallon container of carb dip (you can get a gallon at your local auto supply store for ~$10).

Remove the fuel and vacuum lines that run from the petcock to the carb. Place a suitable container under the fuel line and draw air on the vacuum line to the petcock (if so equipped) and see how well the gas flows. The flow has to be more than a trickle. It should be steady and fairly substantial. If you get this flow, then you're ok.

Folding Mobility Scooters - How to Bring More Independence to Your Life

By Mike Jezek

Having trouble simply walking is bad enough. It�s even worse when you require family, friends and nurse aids to do your shopping, errands or to even get you around your home. Feeling like you�ve lost your independence is a hard pill to swallow. Luckily it doesn�t have to be that way anymore.

That�s because more and more people are learning about �folding mobility scooters.� Now a mobility scooter is an electric powered scooter that has either a three-wheel or four-wheel base. It�s the perfect mobility aid for people who have trouble walking.

Better still, if you are still independent and would largely like to remain so, having what�s called a folding mobility scooter is a blessing. Actually, many models of mobility scooters today break down into individual, lightweight parts, allowing you to put the scooter in the car or in the back of your min-van or SUV. Surprisingly, it can take less than a minute to put the scooter into your car!

Even though the folding mobility scooter breaks down small enough where you can store it in your car, many models are sturdy enough to carry up to 300 pounds. Folding mobility scooters can range in price from $450 to $1,000.

Depending upon the dealer, you may be able to get a good service plan and warranty. Plus, your insurance or Medicare may be able to pay for part of your folding mobility scooter. Be sure to talk with your local dealer about this.

Once you have your folding mobility scooter, no longer will you feel like a burden (if you do) on others. You can have much of your independence back. What�s more, there are many, makes and models of folding mobility scooters. You can get a scooter that fits your own personality, traveling up to 5-10 miles per hour to get where you need to go.

How can I increase the top speed of my scooter? This is a common question with the 50cc scooters, but it comes up with bigger scooters also. The most important question is how much money do you want to spend. If you have a 50cc, and you want to increase the top speed from 25 mph -> 50 mph, you might be better off just buying a new scooter. As you increase the scooter's speed and acceleration, you will find the brakes, frame, and suspension are probably not up to the task. Replacing all of these parts is quite expensive. If you just want a bit of increase performance of your 50cc scooter, there are probably carb, exhaust pipe, and variator (gearing) changes you can make. You might be able to find a big bore kit, so that you can increase the engine displacement from 50cc up to around 70cc. In general, the easiest thing to do would be to add a performance clutch or performance variator. These should give you a little better acceleration and/or top speed.

Next, consider whether your exhaust pipe is clogged. This is especially a problem with two stroke scooters. The unburned fuel/oil mixture builds up in the exhaust pipe along with carbon over time. If the exhaust pipe is clogged, your scooter will run terribly or not at all. It can be difficult to tell if the exhaust pipe is clogged. The easiest way to tell is to remove it and try to start the scooter. It will be a bit loud - two strokes will sound like a chain saw. If it runs, you know were the problem lies.

Electric Scooter Safety and Riding Tips

By Charles Kassotis

Ready to ride an electric scooter? Perhaps you�ve already tried it and are ready to buy one. Or maybe you�ve never ridden one but have received an electric scooter as a gift and must now learn how. In either case, you need to learn how to operate an electric scooter safely and responsibly. You don�t want to take your scooter out until you know what to do in most major scenarios that could spell trouble.

When you buy your scooter, look over the accompanying booklet or package directions that tell you how to operate it. You may be able to find helpful information on battery maintenance, air pressure for the tires, and other useful details. If not, visit the manufacturer�s website to see what type of guidelines are offered there for new scooter owners. You also can check at the store where your purchased the scooter to see if there are brochures or verbal suggestions that can help you get used to your new motorized equipment.

Always ride your scooter solo. Don�t try to take along a passenger, since the scooter isn�t made to carry more than one person at a time. Doing tricks like dragging an attached skate boarder or someone in a wagon isn�t a good idea, since the motor isn�t strong enough to handle this type of load and will most likely soon give out. Don�t try forcing a second or third person on the scooter for fun or tricks, as this will cause the driver to lose control and probably lead to an accident.

Follow prevailing scooter laws. If you don�t know what these are, get in touch with the Highway Patrol or Department of Transportation for information. The driver�s license bureau or local Automobile Association also are good sources for road laws and driving guidelines. You also might want to browse electric scooter chat rooms or discussion boards on the Internet to learn more about motorized scooter driving in general, along with scooter care and driver safety.

Use any pertinent driver safety equipment, like a helmet, for example, when you drive on public roads. Use the part of the road or sidewalk that you�re supposed to, and stay off the areas that are prohibited for scooter use. Avoid congested traffic areas if possible to prevent traffic snarls or increased risk. Don�t try to do show-off tricks like riding without hands to impress others. Make sure your scooter is in road condition when you take it out in public.

Electric scooters are just smaller versions of cars, in many ways, so it�s a good idea to become familiar with all the electric workings that make it run, since any of these could go wrong at any time. Keep the owner�s manual with you when using the scooter, along with personal identification information, and an insurance card, if pertinent. Treat your scooter with the care and respect it deserves to make sure you reach each destination safely.

Believe it or not, your Honda and Yamaha scoots do have a small transmission. It's hidden away in a small area near the rear wheel. Don't forget about the tranny oil! There is only about 200cc of oil here - a very small amount. Most scooters use standard high quality engine oil and some take gear oil. If your scooter takes engine oil, it should be changed fairly frequently. The gears put a lot of shear stress on the oil, reducing its effectiveness over time. It is definitely a pain to change this oil and add the new oil, but it must be done. If not, the oil will eventually turn to a thick dark, molasses like stuff. Your bearings and gears will be very unhappy, and they will eventually fail. I once bought a Elite 150 from a nice lady who didn't change the tranny oil. The tranny on this scooter sounded horrible when it was ridden. She was lucky it had not locked up the rear wheel when she was riding, which would have probably caused a big crash. I bought it for $20 because she didn't want to have the tranny fixed. When I took the transmission apart, it was really in bad shape. Several gears and a few of the bearings were destroyed. I got it going again, but the cost of labor and parts was over $200. All because $0.25 of oil had not been changed...

The most important thing to do is regular oil changes for four stroke engines. Two stroke engines consume their engine oil, so you don't have to worry about changing it. Our scooters only hold about a quart of engine oil. The bigger Yamaha scooters have oil filters, but the Hondas do not have filters (just a small screen). Given the small displacement (engine size) of most scooters, they tend to get run hard. The small amount of oil, lack of oil filter and high rpm usage leads to oil breakdown much quicker than your in automobile. I change my scooter oil every 1000 miles. This may sound extreme, but consider two points: How long does it take you to go 1000 miles? Unless you are riding a 250cc scoot on the highway, it will probably take you a few months. It's not like you need to change it every week. If you are putting on a lot of highway miles, the engine is probably not being stressed with a lot of stop-and-go riding. You also are less likely to run the engine through a lot of hot/cold cycles. In this case you may be able to extend the oil change time. But I wouldn't :>)

You also won't be able to travel to as many places as traditional transportation can get you, so missing out on some sightseeing may be possible.

What Type of Electric Scooter is Best For You?

By S.M. Vaidya

The word best is in itself is a subjective word. What is best for you may not be for me. So how do you really decide which electric scooter is best for you? If you have decide to buy an electric scooter then you must have already done some research regarding the kind of models and types of electric scooters available in the market.

Here are some deciding factors you can consider while selecting the best electric scooter.

What is the frequency of your use for the electric scooter?

Are you going to use the electric scooter everyday or only on weekends? Is going to be your primary mode of transportation? It is also possible that you use it only for emergency purpose, when your car is away for servicing. In such a case you can go for a basic electric scooter model that will cost you less that $500.

What if you want the electric scooter as your primary vehicle?

If you are going to use an electric scooter everyday then think about investing some money for long-term use. Many models have been specifically developed and designed for this purpose. If the person who is going to drive the electric scooter is handicapped, then it is good decision to go for a four-wheeler scooter, for the obvious reason of balancing.

If you are going to buy an electric scooter for kids then a four or even three wheeler scooter is most advisable. Kids can easily learn this without much help and will love the new machine.

Another factor while buying an electric scooter is the parking space required for it. When it arrives at your home it will obviously require a covered parking space for safety purposes and protecting it's color from rain and harsh sun.

To solve this problem you can go for an electric scooter that can be folded up so that it requires fewer parking spaces. These were just some important points for choosing the right electric scooter for your needs. I hope this information was helpful.

Let's Talk gas powered scooter

Gas prices in your area have probably recently hit the three, four or even five dollar per gallon ranges. Simply fueling up your car probably can run you fifty dollars or more, easily. If you're tired of tanking up your tank, it might be time to consider a gas powered scooter. These babies can easily satisfy your transportation needs and still be gentle on your pocketbook and the environment.

You might want to get a performance carb and/or a new exhaust pipe. You'll need to replace these two components (and probably the air box) at the same time to get the best performance increase. The engine is basically just an air pump. The more air you can move through the engine, the more power you get. Adding a bigger carb draws more air (and more fuel) into the engine. But you restrict the amount of added air if you don't change the air box.

Double check all connections, then crank for 10-15 seconds. Did it start? Do you hear any popping, like the engine is trying to run? Most scooters will not start if you apply throtte while cranking. Honda scooters tend to start easier if you apply throttle just as the engine catches. Most Yamaha scooters will not accept any throttle at all until they warm up a bit. If the scooter catches, but doesn't start, let it rest ~15 seconds before trying again.

First remove all rubber and gaskets or they will be damaged. After a ~20 minute soaking I blow out the carb with compressed air. You have to get all the jets and the passageways clean. Be sure the jets are clear, especially the starter jet. Sometimes carb cleaner won't clear out these tiny jets. Use a guitar/piano wire, a strand of copper electircal wire, or a tiny drill bit pin vise. Be sure not to increase the size of the hole in the starter jet or you'll change the tuning. Carefully reassemble everything, checking for cracks in the rubber carb boots and the gaskets. Replace them if they are old and cracked. Be sure and remove all rubber and gasket material first or they could get ruined. Spray carb cleaner also works if you're dilligent.

There are some disadvantages to using a scooter. They can be hazardous in bad weather. They are not too easily seen, when you are in a congested area of traffic. If you are one to worry about your hair, you can count on re-grooming it at your destination. But probably the most important factor is that of general safety. You don't wear a seat belt. You don't have a lot of steel and metal around you to protect you. Your percentage of getting hurt in an accident is much higher.

While looking for an electric kid scooter, inquire about its attributes and what benefits they can provide when it comes to safety. If you want your child to have the best protection, buy an electric scooter that has two wheels on the rear end. This kind of scooter is best for children within any age after 5, since it is the least difficult to balance on. Moreover, look for a scooter with wheels that are big enough and not far apart. Scooters that are made otherwise turn out to be rickety and hard to use.

If you decide to do your scooter tuning in a garage, make sure it is neat and not cluttered up with papers and junk that can easily catch fire or trip you up as you're walking around. Again, you need to have it well-ventilated. Check the electrical outlets and circuits before you get to work to make sure they are not going to spark and set off a fire.

What changes to I need for high altitude? This doesn't come up very often, but I though I'd throw it in anyway. At high altitudes (above ~4000 ft), your scooter will start starving for air. You'll need to place a smaller main jet in the carb, so that it will take in less fuel. A good rule of thumb is to reduce the size of the main jet by ~10% and see if that works.

Most of the time a speedometer will quit working because your speedometer cable is broken. Most of the time, the speedometer cable breaks 5-6 inches from its connection at the front wheel. It tends to break here because of the bend in the cable and the exposure to the elements (water and dirt) near the front wheel. The good news is that new speedometer cables are cheap and are not difficult to replace.

You also restrict the amount of air out of the engine if you don't replace the exhaust pipe with a bigger (or more free flowing) exhaust pipe. In addition, just changing the carb changes the fuel / air ratio inside the engine. Your engine may or may not like the change. For instance, the new carb could give you more top end power, but also lead to starting problems. Or it may run better at low RPM's and poor at high RPM's. Tuning for best performance can be a lot of work!

How To Discover The Secrets To Buying An Electric Scooter Fast and Easily

By Gregg Hall

We've seen them zooming down our neighborhood street, with their owners' hair flapping wildly in the wind and their fat pocketbooks hanging out of their back pockets, mocking those of us with four wheeled vehicles. We've seen them in pictures of European countries, with little French men in their flashy helmets, maneuvering the streets of Paris. And yet we still think, there's no way we could afford a scooter, Or can we?

An old tactic used in a new way will help you buy the cheap scooter you've been looking for. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that you saved up to 50 percent on your scooter once you've done the necessary leg work. The secret tactic is price comparison and patience. The internet makes this tactic more possible than ever. Here's how to find the scooter of your dreams for the price in your head:

1) Start at Froogle.com. This is Google's shopping search engine. Start by typing in 'electric scooter,' 'electric scooter sale,' or 'electric scooter discount.' You should find an impressive number of scooter retailers as a result. Write down the best prices and deals.

2) Search Google. Run the exact same searches, but instead of just paying attention to your results, pay attention to the ads. Vendors pay tons of money to place their pay per click ads on the side of these pages. The ads pop up based on key words. Visit these sits and write down their best deals as well.

3) Utilize Yahoo.com. Run the same searches on Yahoo's site, and you'll be surprised by the different yields compared to Google. Pay attention to the Yahoo ads as well, because Yahoo owns Overture, which handles the whole pay per click business. Compare as many scooter companies as possible because, after all, more is better. Visit the sites and write down what you discover. You should have a lengthy list by now.

4) Visit Ebay. This online auction site will help you find the consumer price for scooters. Run a search both for 'electric scooter' and 'electric scooters' and write down your results. Watch the auctions for a week or so and write down the prices you see the scooters selling for. Also, consider using the 'watch this auction' feature which will basically bookmark your selected auction.

5) Here's where the patience comes in: wait two weeks, and then do this all over again. You will know a good price when you see one then, and then you can buy your scooter.

This method should yield a smarter, scooter owning you. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if you saved more than 50 percent on your new electric scooter. Don't feel guilty about the savings either. You did the work, so you deserve the savings. Obviously more tricks to finding deals exist than this, but utilizing this old tact and new venue is at least a start to saving you money.

Remove the fuel and vacuum lines that run from the petcock to the carb. Place a suitable container under the fuel line and draw air on the vacuum line to the petcock (if so equipped) and see how well the gas flows. The flow has to be more than a trickle. It should be steady and fairly substantial. If you get this flow, then you're ok.

Compression Check. If you just acquired your scooter, you should first do a full inspection before you try to get it running. If this is the case, I'd do a compression check first because it's easy to do. First, check the quantity and condition of the engine oil. Hook up or purchase a good battery. Leave out the spark plug and crank the scooter for ~5 seconds. This helps to circulate the oil. Let it set for ~15 seconds and then do it again. It's not a good idea to continuously crank the starter because it can overheat and wear out prematurely.

I have owned about 40 Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha scooters over the years. Given basic maintenance I've generally found them to be quite reliable. Scooter owners tend to be more hands off than motorcycle owners, which is fine as long as the maintenance still gets done. A well maintained scooter may go 50,000 miles or more before a major rebuild. A poorly maintained scooter won't even last 5000 miles.

You might want to get a performance carb and/or a new exhaust pipe. You'll need to replace these two components (and probably the air box) at the same time to get the best performance increase. The engine is basically just an air pump. The more air you can move through the engine, the more power you get. Adding a bigger carb draws more air (and more fuel) into the engine. But you restrict the amount of added air if you don't change the air box.

This issue doesn't come up very often. However, at high altitudes (above 4000 ft), your scooter will start starving for air. You'll need to place a smaller main jet in the carb, so that it will take in less fuel. A good rule of thumb is to reduce the size of the main jet by 10% and see if that works.

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.

Starting fluid. Assuming sufficient compression, Squirt in a bit of starting fluid and see if she'll fire. If so, great! That means that you have sufficient compression and the proper spark. You should get the scooter to run for a second or so on starting fluid. If so there's a good chance you can get it running. One caution here - don't run your engine for very long on starting fluid because it's hard on the engine.

Learn Your Hand Signals-Because you can ride a scooter in traffic, it's important to know your hand signals when stopping and making a turn. This can help make sure accidents don't happen and you aren't hit by a bigger, dangerous vehicle.

The big test Install a new spark plug, especially if the engine is a two stoke. Clean or replace the air filter as necessary. The carb, air cleaner, and exhaust pipe are all carefully tuned to work together. Most scooters absolutely WILL NOT run correctly if any of this stuff is changed in a haphazard manner!

The most important thing to do is regular oil changes for four stroke engines. Two stroke engines consume their engine oil, so you don't have to worry about changing it. Our scooters only hold about a quart of engine oil. The bigger Yamaha scooters have oil filters, but the Hondas do not have filters (just a small screen). Given the small displacement (engine size) of most scooters, they tend to get run hard. The small amount of oil, lack of oil filter and high rpm usage leads to oil breakdown much quicker than your in automobile. I change my scooter oil every 1000 miles. This may sound extreme, but consider two points: How long does it take you to go 1000 miles? Unless you are riding a 250cc scoot on the highway, it will probably take you a few months. It's not like you need to change it every week. If you are putting on a lot of highway miles, the engine is probably not being stressed with a lot of stop-and-go riding. You also are less likely to run the engine through a lot of hot/cold cycles. In this case you may be able to extend the oil change time. But I wouldn't :>)

Compression Check. If you just acquired your scooter, you should first do a full inspection before you try to get it running. If this is the case, I'd do a compression check first because it's easy to do. First, check the quantity and condition of the engine oil. Hook up or purchase a good battery. Leave out the spark plug and crank the scooter for ~5 seconds. This helps to circulate the oil. Let it set for ~15 seconds and then do it again. It's not a good idea to continuously crank the starter because it can overheat and wear out prematurely.

Disconnect the fuel line and drain the old gas. Add fresh fuel and make sure it flows smoothly through the petcock (on the bottom of the fuel tank). If the petcock is controlled by vacuum, you'll have to draw a vacuum on the vacuum line in order for fuel to flow. The vacuum line will be the smaller line on the petcock. Do you get a good, steady flow of gas? If so, good. If not, you will have to remove the petcock and clean it. The gas flow should stop when you release the vacuum.

My Idle Runs Too High. This could be due to a throttle cable that is too tight or misrouted. It could also mean you need to turn the idle screw on the carb counterclockwise 1/4 turn. A high idle may be due to a vacuum leak. The rubber manifold between the carb and the cylinder head can crack over time. Try starting the engine and squirting some water around the carb, manifold, and vacuum hoses. If the idle decreases, you have a vacuum leak somewhere.

Next, you'll have to remove the carburetor and clean it. There are a low of tiny fuel and air passageways in the carb that must be clean it order for your scooter to run right. Carefully take the carb apart. This can be relative easy (on a 50cc scooter) or quite difficult (a Riva 180-200 has limited carb access and 8 separate hoses running to the carb). The carb has tiny passages that get gummed up. The scooter just will not run correctly if the carb is not completely clean, so take your time. I use a gallon container of carb dip (you can get a gallon at your local auto supply store for ~$10).

If the gas tank is not too rusted or dirty, you might be able to get away with just flushing it out. Pour in some fresh gas. But if you are uncertain how old the gas is (even if it smells ok), drain the gas tank, fuel lines, and carb float bowl and refill with fresh gas. I once worked on an Elite 80 with fresh-smelling gas. I could get it to run on starting fluid, but not on gas from the tank. I finally ended up draining all of the old gas and re-filling with fresh gas. The scooter started immediately and run great after that.

Next, consider whether your exhaust pipe is clogged. This is especially a problem with two stroke scooters. The unburned fuel/oil mixture builds up in the exhaust pipe along with carbon over time. If the exhaust pipe is clogged, your scooter will run terribly or not at all. It can be difficult to tell if the exhaust pipe is clogged. The easiest way to tell is to remove it and try to start the scooter. It will be a bit loud - two strokes will sound like a chain saw. If it runs, you know were the problem lies.

First, remove all of the rubber and gaskets or they will get damaged. After a 20 minute soaking in carb dip, I blow out the carb with compressed air. You have to get all the jets and the passageways clean. Be sure the jets are clear, especially the starter jet. Sometimes carb cleaner won't clear out these tiny jets. Use a guitar or a piano string, a strand of copper electrical wire, or a tiny drill bit pin vise. Be sure not to increase the size of the hole in the starter jet or you'll change the tuning. Carefully reassemble everything, checking for cracks in the rubber carb boots and the gaskets. Replace them if they are old and cracked. Be sure and remove all rubber and gasket material first or they could get ruined. Spray carb cleaner also works if you're diligent.

While there are electric and gas powered scooters, gas is by far the more popular way to go the world over. It can be very inconvenient to find a place to plug in an electric scooter, and they take time to charge.

Mobility Scooter Batteries

By Jason Gluckman

Mobility scooters are powered by heavy-duty batteries. Various companies have come up with different kinds of batteries. The prices differ with the varying capacities. Distinct batteries power different models of mobility scooters.

A three-wheel scooter with a 143 lbs capacity is fitted with 2 batteries, 12V, 32 amp that power the vehicle with a maximum speed 4.25mph and cover 25 miles. The same pair of 12V, 32amp power a three-wheeled scooter of 205lbs, with a maximum speed of 5.75 mph and cover 25 miles. The pair can be used for all other models of three wheeled scooters, with different lbs.

A 166lbs full weight four- wheel scooter empowered with a pair of 12V, 32amp battery, runs to a speed of 5.0 mph and cover 25miles. A 355 lbs four- wheel scooter is fitted with a 12V, 100amp battery that enables the scooter to achieve a max speed of 10mph and can cover 25miles, when charged once. A 270lbs, full weight four- wheeled scooter with a capacity of 400lbs, is set with a pair of 12V 40amp battery.

The extra heavy duty scooters with a weight of 280 lbs and maximum capacity of 500lbs are empowered with a pair of 12V, 48 amp batteries, that power the vehicle to a speed of 7.0 mph and covers 25 miles. Whereas scooters with 270 lbs and 309 lbs full weight and a maximum capacity of 500 lbs, run on a pair of 12V 32 amp batteries, that powers both the scooters to attain a speed of 5.7 mph and cover 25 miles and more.

It is advisable to drivers to not pay much for a pair of batteries. They cost an average of $40 a piece. It is essential to make sure that the scooter is charged twice a week, especially in winter.

Electric Scooter Review - Checklist Of An Electric Scooter Review

By S.M. Vaidya

Elecric scooters are new in the market and are growing in popularity. There are many reasons for this. The first and the most important reason is its running cost is low as compared to a standard gas powered scooter. Secondly it is pollution free and is easy to maneuver even in tight traffic jams.

If you have decided to buy an electric scooter for your own use or even for your kids, it is a good suggestion that read reviews first. Reviews are nothing but comments suggestions given by current users who own such an electric scooter.

These reviews can be read by visiting to various websites on the Internet where people meet for discussions on various topics. You can find such reviews using Internet search engines.

When you read an electric scooter review following points must be looked for.

1) Are there any product images/photos?
2) Are prices of the scooter given?
3) Are there are any shipping prices applicable apart from the basic price of the electric scooter. If yes have they mentioned it in the review?
4) Reviews can be of two types. The first one is from the manufacturer. In this the company will try to give all sorts of features and benefits of the particular electric scooter model. The second type of review is from the customer who has purchased and is currently driving the electric scooter. A customer review is the best way to find out about the performance of an electric scooter you are looking for.
5) When you read a review by a customer, look for potential benefits and also problems the customer faced. This will save your time and money. Also look for the mention of the running cost for that model, battery-charging problems and it's frequency, servicing and repair problems. All these are directly related to you too.

Thus electric scooter review is a great lifesaver and as a potential customer it is your personal responsibility to obtain access to such kind of information. As a best practice avoid purchasing electric scooter that does not have any reviews at all. If possible try to take a test ride of the vehicle itself so that you get a feel of the power an electric scooter can produce. If you are comfortable with it, you can make a buying decision. This technique can be used for electric scooter that doesn�t have any reviews yet.

Compression Check. If you just acquired your scooter, you should first do a full inspection before you try to get it running. If this is the case, I'd do a compression check first because it's easy to do. First, check the quantity and condition of the engine oil. Hook up or purchase a good battery. Leave out the spark plug and crank the scooter for ~5 seconds. This helps to circulate the oil. Let it set for ~15 seconds and then do it again. It's not a good idea to continuously crank the starter because it can overheat and wear out prematurely.

You likely want to own a gas scooter but then comes the tricky part, what type of gas scooter and where to buy the it. Most times when you know where to buy it from the choice for which type can be made together with the advice you get from the retailer. Here are a few examples of retailers.

'Gas Scooters 4 U Company' specializes in, as the name already implies, gas scooters so you can't go wrong there. This fact should not be thought lightly about because you want to speak with a retailer who knows the ins and outs of these type of scooters and if one has it's main focus on this type then you know they have a lot of experience and can give you solid advice.

They will help you to find a product witch is great value for money. Another nice fact is that you can do this all from the comfort of your own chair.

When you, after good consideration, buy from them you are sure they will everything that is possible to deliver the gas scooter as quick as possible to your doorstep.

Another company you should take a look at, if your serious about purchasing a gas scooter, is 'Extreme Scooters'. No matter what the reason, work related or just for fun, you will find all kinds of variations at their store. They sell electric and gas scooters, power wheels, mini ATV, mini dirt bikes and much, much more.

One of the models that is the best selling one at the moment of this writing is the X-Treme XG-470 it comes complete with all the lights you might need and all kinds of indicators. The best factor of this gas scooter is the fact that it is very affordable, so you can take home a very well fitted bike while not spending a lot of money.

A second example of a well selling type is the Evo 2, a 40cc powerboard. This is a high quality scooter and if your out to buy a reliable but also attractive looking scooter, this one is possible for you. It has a belt tension system, disk brakes and many more high quality items fitted on it. All this makes that this gas scooter is very reliable but also very powerful and has a very good speed to performance ratio.

These are, of course, just 2 examples of retailers out there that can help you with making a good choice for your next purchase of a gas scooter. There are many more out there, maybe just around the corner from where you live. But maybe these store can inspire you or at least show you what is sold these days and what is in fashion.

Getting To Grips With Riding An Electric Bike

By Dave Wyness

There can be little argument that zipping around on your scooter is far preferable to trudging around on foot and is a much more fun way to travel than driving a car. It is important before you get started that you at least have the first idea of how to ride a scooter, unless you want to wrap yourself round a lamp-post!

Riding a scooter is surprisingly easy to get the hang of :

First of all, start your engine - you'll only get so far with a head-wind! Many engines are started by pulling at a cord attached to the engine - the same as you would start a lawn mower. Electric engines have to be push-started, by first riding the scooter as you would a kick scooter.

Get a firm grip on the handlebars and place one foot on the deck of the scooter, leaving your other foot on the ground so that you get comfortable and remain balanced. Once you are ready to move off hit the throttle to accelerate, if you have a gas engine, then bring your foot off the ground when you begin to pick up speed. Be sure to accelerate gradually in order that yourself and the scooter remain as one, don't accelerate too hard as it will fly off into the road ahead leaving you looking miserable on the deck!

It is important that your posture on the scooter is correct, avoid keeping your feet and body up front near the handlebars so that your weight is distributed across the length of the scooter. You also should have one foot slightly ahead of the other, both facing forward.

Steering your scooter is very similar to that of a push-bike, steer by turning the handlebars in the direction you want to go, and lean slightly into each turn. When riding your scooter treat the brake handles carefully, being careful not to grip them too strongly which might cause you to flip. Apply a steady and subtle squeeze to slow or stop the scooter. There's no need to use the scooter's brakes at all to slow down, just take your hand off the scooter's throttle.

In order to get some practice in before taking to the streets it is a good idea to take your scooter into a big empty space to master turning, braking, etc. Get the feel of your scooter to build up your confidence.

You need to check for a spark. There are a few ways to do this. The easiest way is to remove the spark plug and put it back in the spark plug cap. Then ground it to the engine - you should be able to lay it against a non-painted portion of the engine. Make sure there is good metal-to-metal contact. In a semi darkened area, attempt to start the scooter. You should see a definite spark at the tip of the spark plug. It's hard to see in direct light. If the color of the spark is blue, that means it's a strong spark. A white color is less strong, and a yellow color is weak. Most scooter starting systems are a bit weak (compared to cars). Even a yellow spark should start your scooter just fine.

Electric Powered Scooter - Is It Better Than A Gas Powered Scooter?

By S.M. Vaidya

Is an electric powered scooter better than a gas powered one? Well, better is a relative word and both these types of scooters do have their own advantages. An electric powered scooter is a new concept but gaining popularity over the gas powered scooter.

One thing to consider here is the standard fuel or gas powered engine was discovered almost 100 years ago and has been constantly improved by many engineers for better performance with the latest engines controlled by computers. As compared to this the electric powered vehicles are relatively new technology and there is lot more to come.

Electronic powered scooters have their own advantages. Some of them can be listed here like.

1) Lightweight
2) Less noisy
3) Low running and maintenance cost
4) Zero pollution
5) Easy maneuvering even in heavy traffic

With all these things in consideration it seems that they are much better than a gas-powered scooter. But they do have their limitations. The very first limitation is the battery on which the electric powered scooter runs. This needs charging on a regular interval and will be useless where electricity is a big problem.

Also electric powered vehicles are lightweight and may not be as a robust as gas-powered vehicles, hence not suitable for long traveling distances. As the electric powered scooters are still new in the market there are many less number of people who can service such kind of vehicle. That is not the case with standard gas powered scooters. Plenty of resources are easily available when it comes to maintaining a gas-powered vehicle.

Apart from all these factors electric powered scooters are gaining popularity because they are easy to drive for all age groups and are innovative. People like 'innovation and new' things happening in life. Imagine a college teenager owning an electric scooter. It brings him immediate attention amongst his friends and saves him money too. So an electric powered scooter is a great option in the future as a personal vehicle.

Don't Ride With Others-Although the seat on a scooter may look big enough to fit more than one person, it isn't safe and should never be done. Taking scooter safety seriously means you always ride alone. If more than one person rides on a scooter at once, the stability and function of the bike is compromised. This can result in an accident even at places you roe a scooter through hundreds of times.

Most of the time a speedometer will quit working because your speedometer cable is broken. Most of the time, the speedometer cable breaks 5-6 inches from its connection at the front wheel. It tends to break here because of the bend in the cable and the exposure to the elements (water and dirt) near the front wheel. The good news is that new speedometer cables are cheap and are not difficult to replace.

3 Wheel Scooters

By Kent Pinkerton

Today, the market is stocked with different models and types of scooters. To meet the varying needs of buyers, scooters come with different wheel models. A three wheel scooter is one of the popular innovations for people with mobility problems.

As the name implies, a three wheel scooter will have three wheels, one wheel in the front and two wheels in the rear. Three wheel scooters are mainly designed for individual use, and can hold a minimum of 220 and a maximum of 250 pounds. Earlier models of three wheel scooters were heavy and large. With the advance of technology, compact and lightweight three wheel scooters have been introduced in the market. Most commonly, lightweight metals such as aluminum are used for making lightweight three wheel scooters. Thus, they can be easily carried from one place to another.

Three wheel scooters come in different models. One of the popular models is the three wheel folding scooter. This is a combination of the folding scooter and the skateboard scooter, and includes the features of both. As in the folding scooter, the 3 wheel folding scooter features fender brakes, and can be folded into 3 or 4 after use. Therefore, three wheel scooters can be easily carried on the trunk of cars, trucks, vans or other vehicles.

The three wheel scooters are either gas powered or electric powered. Among the gas and electric powered scooters, electric powered three wheel scooters are more commonly used. This is because electric powered scooters are free from noise and air pollution.

Three wheeled scooters are available in various price levels. On an average, a three wheel scooter costs approximately $500 to $3,500. Those who cannot afford brand new three wheel scooters can opt for used ones. Used three wheel scooters come with advance features, at competitive prices.

Today, the scooter market is flooded with different brands of three wheel scooters. Piaggio, Yamaha, Aprilia, Kymco, Honda, Benelli, Motobella, V-Moto, Malaguti, Italjet, Trail Blazer, Motobella, Giamoto and Suzuki are some of the leading manufacturers of three wheel scooters. Depending on the availability, the scooters can be purchased from local outlets, dealers, manufacturers or online stores.

This issue doesn't come up very often. However, at high altitudes (above 4000 ft), your scooter will start starving for air. You'll need to place a smaller main jet in the carb, so that it will take in less fuel. A good rule of thumb is to reduce the size of the main jet by 10% and see if that works.

The spark must occur at the right time. Just about all scooters made since around 1980 have an electronic ignition. These systems can rarely be set. In general, the spark occurs just before the piston reaches the top of it's stroke. There is a slight delay between the spark plug fire and the fuel-air mixture ignition. That's why the spark occurs a little early. Most ignition systems have an advance unit build in. As the engine speeds up, the time of the spark retards a little bit. This helps the engine fire the mixture at the proper time.

Double check all connections, then crank for 10-15 seconds. Did it start? Do you hear any popping, like the engine is trying to run? Most scooters will not start if you apply throtte while cranking. Honda scooters tend to start easier if you apply throttle just as the engine catches. Most Yamaha scooters will not accept any throttle at all until they warm up a bit. If the scooter catches, but doesn't start, let it rest ~15 seconds before trying again.

If the gas tank is not too rusted or dirty, you might be able to get away with just flushing it out. Pour in some fresh gas. But if you are uncertain how old the gas is (even if it smells ok), drain the gas tank, fuel lines, and carb float bowl and refill with fresh gas. I once worked on an Elite 80 with fresh-smelling gas. I could get it to run on starting fluid, but not on gas from the tank. I finally ended up draining all of the old gas and re-filling with fresh gas. The scooter started immediately and run great after that.

Disconnect the fuel line and drain the old gas. Add fresh fuel and make sure it flows smoothly through the petcock (on the bottom of the fuel tank). If the petcock is controlled by vacuum, you'll have to draw a vacuum on the vacuum line in order for fuel to flow. The vacuum line will be the smaller line on the petcock. Do you get a good, steady flow of gas? If so, good. If not, you will have to remove the petcock and clean it. The gas flow should stop when you release the vacuum.

The Talk About scooters for sale

here is a reason that gas powered scooters are the standard for urban transportation in so many areas of the world. With many high-powered engines available, many have found a gas powered scooter that fits their needs. Do you live in a medium sized to big city, where parking is commonly an issue? What if all you had to do is find a space literally the size of a coffee table? Imagine reducing the stress of big-city living by this simple gesture. Are you paranoid about parallel parking? A gas powered scooter could fix your woes.

Try to buy a scooter performance kit (carb, air box, exhaust pipe) that is tuned for your scooter. It will make things much easier. Lastly, add the big bore kit. This will give you more torque (pulling power) and better acceleration. It won't necessarily add top speed unless you make gearing changes too. For larger scooters, there aren't too many performance parts available here in the U.S. The easiest thing is to do a web search for "scooter performance parts" and see what you can find.

Remove the fuel and vacuum lines from the petcock to the carb. Place a suitable container under the fuel line and draw air on the vacuum line to the petcock (if so equipped) and see how well the gas flows. The flow has to be more than a trickle. It should be steady and fairly substantial. If you get this flow, then you're ok. Run at least a pint of gas through to help flush the system. If you don't get a flow then it's likely your petcock is clogged. You have to remove it to disassemble and clean it. Carefully reinstall it on the gas tank or you could get a gas leak. Reassemble everything and try to start the scooter. It will take several seconds of cranking to get the gas to work its way from the gas tank to the carb. Hopefully it will start now! :>)

Know Your Scooter

By Jean Butler

Become familiar with the scooter before you ride. Read and understand instructional manuals. Check the controls. Read and understand all safety and warning labels on your scooter. Ride very cautiously until you become familiar with the way the scooter handles. Take turns slowly and give yourself extra stopping distance.

Riding your gas scooter or electric scooter with control and safety will require practice. Anyone that will be riding the scooter needs to know the proper way to ride his or her scooter. This will help ensure that you get the most mileage out of your scooter and that you avoid potential accidents by riding incorrectly. You must learn to stand firm on the scooter but relaxed, keeping your weight between the wheels. Don't stand too close to the front or too far back on the scooter. Be sure to shift your weight to the rear when applying brakes, and lean forward when accelerating. Keep feet apart for more stability.

Gently steer the scooter into your turn without any jerky motions. Adjust your balance to keep the scooter upright. Always approach turns very carefully.

Front brakes provide most of your stopping power. Practice at a safe speed until you are comfortable with how they work.

Ride your scooter in a safe place away from other vehicles and in an area which will not disturb other people or animals. Be sure the riding area is a clean and dry surface. Do not ride in high traffic areas.

Scooting can be a useful, safe and fun way to get around town!

If you decide to do your scooter tuning in a garage, make sure it is neat and not cluttered up with papers and junk that can easily catch fire or trip you up as you're walking around. Again, you need to have it well-ventilated. Check the electrical outlets and circuits before you get to work to make sure they are not going to spark and set off a fire.

Although there are some things you can only truly learn by doing, you shouldn't risk your prize ride to a trial and error scooter tuning course.

You can find these on line, from scooter clubs and conventions and from publications.

Are There Fast Electric Scooters?

By Thomas Kraemer

There is no doubt that an electric scooter can get you someplace, but the issue of how fast it can go is something that deserves discussion. People often have this misconception that because electric scooters were designed primarily for either the elderly and the handicapped, it cannot pick up speed. This is where they are wrong.

While electric scooters are not as fast as gas powered scooters, they are not lacking in the speed department. In fact, some electric scooter models can be as fast as a little over ten miles per hour. So if you're thinking of organizing an electric scooter race, you won't be embarrassed.

Because the concept of an electric scooter is fairly new, not many people accept it as a real mode of transportation. Most of us are still stuck with the wheelchair concept so we don't really see electric scooters as anything more but an improved version of a wheelchair in a more chic and hip form. It's about time to tell the world that electric scooters are more than what the majority perceives of them.

The speed of electric scooters and their overall performance should never be underestimated. Given the heavy traffic we are experiencing nowadays, which really are not showing signs of relenting anytime soon, we might find that owning an electric scooter and going to work with it is one of the most practical decisions we will ever make. Electric scooters are not just for those with limited mobility. Even a perfectly healthy person can take advantage of an electric scooter.

In addition, the fact that electric scooters no longer need gas to go fast is comforting, especially at a time of skyrocketing oil and fuel prices. And while it does hike up our electricity bills, most people see that as a small price to pay for huge convenience electric scooters bring in.

Electric scooters are a very practical buy. In fact, they might even be more practical than buying a car. It doesn't protect you from the rain, though. But if you're looking to get somewhere fast, you can always rely on an electric scooter to serve its function.

My idle is too high. This could be due to a throttle cable that is too tight or misrouted. It could also mean you need to turn the idle screw on the carb counterclockwise ~1/4 turn. A high idle may be due to a vacuum leak. The rubber manifold between the carb and the cylinder head can crack over time. Try starting the engine and squirting some water around the carb, manifold, and vacuum hoses. If the idle decreases, you have a vacuum leak somewhere.

How was the old gas? Did the gasoline smell old? If the scooter has been sitting over a year or so, the gasoline will turn into a varnish-like stuff. Then you'll have some serious cleaning to do. The gasoline will have evaporated for the most part, leaving a sludgy, molassas like substance in the gas tank, petcock, fuel lines, and the carb. All of these parts will have to be cleaned. This is especially a problem in the carburetor. Thoroughly flush out the gas tank and gas lines with new gas. I've had good luck using the old gas (in small quantities at a time) in my truck.

Add A New Life To Your Scooter

By Jason Uvios

The scooter industry is going through a boom phase. All thanks to the variety of upgrades and accessories that has remodeled the look of a classic scooter. Some very popular models of scooters come with wheels as big as that of a motorcycle. Other scooters are available with engine size ranging from 250cc up to 650cc. The modern day scooters are available with four stroke engines and their performance can easily be paralleled with a motor- cycle.

Though most scooter retailers have a variety of upgrades and accessories stocked up in their stores yet you might sometimes get a better bargain online, for your scooter parts and add ons.

Baskets, lockable trunks, handle bar grips, mirrors, seat covers, kid�s seat, extra battery charger are some of the extras that you can add on to your scooter.

Most scooter accessories can be bought either new or old depending upon your preference and how much you are willing to spend on them. However before buying old parts make sure that they are in a good condition or else they too might have to be replaced soon.

In order to make your scooter road worthy make sure that its turn signals breaks, headlamps, and chains are intact. This will ensure safety for both the rider as well as the vehicle. Other safety accessories that are a must with a scooter are helmets; drive belts, alarms and locks.

Since the markets have rolled out so many different types of scooters, which vary in shapes, sizes as well as functionality therefore their accessories also differ from model to model.

Scooters are not just economical to use but their size and maneuverability also makes it easier for the riders to scoot out of those areas with heavy traffic jams. In comparison to other vehicles scooters have a better fuel average, which makes them a popular choice with most people who don�t want to spend a ransom on commuting.

Good maintenance is the key for keeping scooters in an impeccable condition. However there are some parts that might need replacement with time. So the minute you notice any defect such parts make sure to replace them immediately. After all it�s always better to be safe than sorry!

You also restrict the amount of air out of the engine if you don't replace the exhaust pipe with a bigger (or more free flowing) exhaust pipe. In addition, just changing the carb changes the fuel / air ratio inside the engine. Your engine may or may not like the change. For instance, the new carb could give you more top end power, but also lead to starting problems. Or it may run better at low RPM's and poor at high RPM's. Tuning for best performance can be a lot of work!

Scooter Tires And Other Accessories...A scooter has certain physical features that may need to be replaced, including scooter tires. Scooter tires, especially the back ones can be difficult to find, as many outlets don't carry the specialized size. When looking at scooter tires, a consumer may need to go on-line to order them. Scooter tires are important to the scooter, and a person should not ride a scooter that needs new tires. Check the scooter tires to make sure they are in good condition before using the scooter.

My Schwinn Stealth 1000 Electric Scooter Saves Money, Is Easy to Use, Cheap & Great For Environment

By P Hershon

If you are an adult who wants to save gas money doing local errands and short local trips under 10 miles round-trip, you might want to consider using an electric scooter, a cheap, hassle free , excellent method of transportation that helps the environment too. I use the Schwinn Stealth 1000 Electric Scooter (Schwinn S-1000) which is perfect for me. Licenses are not required in most places for the Schwinn S-1000 (though I would check locally) and about the only thing you really need is a helmet and to weigh under 250 pounds.

I am a total clutz and the S-1000 is incredibly easy to use as the balance is so good and the ride is super comfortable. It took me 1 hour of practice in an empty lot and I've ridden the scooter ever since, easy as pie. Believe it or not, I prefer to ride in the street in the bike lanes where the ground is smooth rather then going over the cracking sidewalks. The scooter goes up to 15 miles per hour and you can go as far as 15 miles with it till the battery is empty, though I think 10 miles is a more reasonable expectation. Charging the battery is super easy as you just use a small charger connected to any electric outlet in your home and connect it to your scooter. Takes about 10 seconds to plug in and about 6 hours to charge. The battery lasts about 6 months, and costs about $125 for a new one and is very easy to put in requiring no mechanical skills.

What I like about the Schwinn Stealth 1000 Electric Scooter is it's cheap, around $400 or so- it will probably cost you $50 for a bike place to put it together, and requires little maintenance primarily because of its direct drive system. I had an earlier Schwinn Electric Scooter with a Cable drive system, and the cables kept getting tangled up and it was costing me $75 a pop to fix. With the Schwinn S-1000, after about 8 months, I've had no repairs or maintenance charges, which I attribute to its direct drive system.

I would recommend you get your local bike shop to put a small basket on the back of the scooter if you do errands because I don't believe Schwinn Electric Scooters still come with baskets. Most of the time, because the balance of the Stealth 1000 is so good, I just put any packages on the front part of the floorboard where they seem to balance perfectly.

For local travel, the Schwinn Stealth 1000 is the greatest thing since sliced bread too me.

The price on gasoline keeps going up. Many people that have to commute to work are trying to figure out how to beat the rise in transportation costs. Some of those people are going more and more to scooters. For people that don't have to go far, scooters seem to be an answer. They don't cost as much to fill and you can get a lot better mileage by the gallon. In many areas of the country, you don't even need a license to operate a scooter.

The highlights of moped motor scooter rentals-The money you spend on gas is less than half of what you'd spend on a rental car. The gas mileage for a moped or scooter is about 80 miles per gallon, offering the chance to see all the sights and sounds during your vacation on a budget. A moped does not require the driver to have a driver's license so moped motor scooter rentals are a great way to get a family together for a good time and some laughs.

So let's take a look at some safety ideas. Wear a helmet, knee and elbow pads. Children under the age of 12 should not ride motorized scooters. Avoid heavy traffic at all costs. Don't ride at night. If you have to ride at night, be sure you have a good headlight and a taillight as well as side reflectors. Wear sturdy shoes that have a good sole on them. If your helmet doesn't have a face shield, invest in a good pair of goggles are safety glasses. Avoid gravel or uneven roads. Know the local laws. Have insurance. Take a class on scooter safety. Many States provide these free of charge.

Choosing A Kids Electric Scooter

By Matthew Smith

The door slams and it�s your child bragging about his friends� new scooter. For the next few days, all you hear is how cool it is and how fast it goes. It�s obvious that your child wants an electric scooter too, but which kids electric scooter is right for them?

Kids scooters have come a long way over the years. Forget about those kick scooters or push scooters. Those are old hat and kids electric scooters are gaining ground. How do you decide from all the different kids electric scooters which is right for your child? Take these issues into consideration when deciding on your scooter investment.

Kids electric scooters come in a variety of shapes and sizes and depending on several factors, including age of rider, size of rider, maturity level of rider will play a major role in deciding which electric scooter is right for you.

The age of the rider, along with the size of the rider are important in deciding on a scooter. The average 100 watt kids electric scooter is simple to operate and is perfect for ages 5-8. But even at age 8, it may be a bit small.

Most 100 watt and 140 watt electric scooters come with hard, solid rubber wheels. Though these wheels are good for this scooter, people are not told that with a rough road or rough riding surface, the wheels will get chewed up and in time, you will be replacing the wheels on these scooters. These scooters are rated to carry loads of up to 120 lbs, some rate as high as 200 lbs. However, our recommendation for these types of electric scooters would be no more than 60-70 lbs.

The 250 watt kids electric scooter is perfect for ages 6-14. Starting with these scooters, the tires are rubber with inner-tubes. This provides for a much smoother ride, along with a lasting tire. These scooters can handle the weight, as long as the inflation recommendation are maintained.

For electric scooters that are 350 watts or higher, kids or adults can usually get around nicely on these. The 350 watt electric scooters are also known as kids electric scooters, because that is what is seen throughout neighborhoods around the country. These scooters are built for speed, convenience, durability and safety. These scooters are for both kids and adults. If the child is mature enough to handle this type of scooter, then the 350 watt will not disappoint and for the older child, the 500 watt will not be outgrown.

I have trouble getting my scooter on its centerstand. Like a lot of other things, there is a technique to this. Even a small person can put a large motorcycle on the centerstand with the proper technique. Here's what I do: Hold the scooter with your left hand on the left grip. Put your right (or left foot) on the centerstand to hold it down. Put your right hand under the seat area, where there should be a railing or a grip. This is the place where you'll lift the scooter a bit. Now in one motion, push down with your foot while you tug back with your left hand and up lift up with your right hand. If you do all of these movements at the same time with the proper motion, you'll have zero problems.

2. Changing your roller weights. You can use just slightly heavier rollers for more top speed.
3. Adjusti your valves.
4. Install a new air filter.
5. Change the oil.
6. Put in a new spark plug.

Mobility Scooters - Helping You Get Around

By Sam Adams

Has a friend or a loved one recently suffered an accident or an injury? Maybe they have had a stroke or a heart attack. As they begin recovering they could benefit from a mobility scooter or an electric travel scooter. There are several different makes and models of mobility scooters available on today's market. If the recovery time is expected to be fairly short then an inexpensive travel scooter may be just what is needed. But if the injury is permanent or the recovery is planned to be long term then a higher quality mobility scooter, or even, a power wheelchair might be your best choice. Below we will talk about some of the benefits available with the different models.

An electric travel scooter is a lightweight mobility scooter designed for use by individuals with short term needs. They are an excellent choice if you need a little help getting around the house or maybe you find it difficult to walk while doing your shopping. Most of the mobility scooters in this category can be disassembled into 4 pieces and easily loaded into the trunk of most cars. This group of travel mobility scooters are usually the least expensive scooters available. The 3 wheel travel mobility scooter is the most common version in this group but there are some 4 wheel mobility scooters also available. This group of mobility scooters offer the user a top speed of 3.5 mph up to 4.25 mph and have a range of up to 10 miles on a single charge.

Now, if what you need is a mobility scooter for a long term or permanent mobility solution, then a higher quality heavy duty mobility scooter is what you need. These mobility scooters are available in three wheel and four wheel mobility scooter versions. This group of mobility scooters and power wheelchairs offer more features, a more rugged frame, and better seat material for more rider comfort. They also offer a more powerful drive train, higher speeds up to 10 mph, and a longer runtime for all day usage. This group of mobility scooters are usually more expensive, but offer the buyer much more benefits than the lightweight travel scooters.

What ever your needs and which ever mobility scooter or travel scooter you choose do your research. Many manufactures and dealers have a lot of information available on their websites. With prices ranging from several hundred up to several thousand dollars you are sure to find the mobility scooter you need at a price you can afford. Also, talk to your mobility scooter dealer and see if part or all of the cost of your new mobility scooter could be covered by Medicare or you private insurance. Don't let an injury or disability stop you from enjoying everything life has to offer. Get a mobility scooter and get on with life!

The spark must occur at the right time. Just about all scooters made since around 1980 have an electronic ignition. These systems can rarely be set. In general, the spark occurs just before the piston reaches the top of it's stroke. There is a slight delay between the spark plug fire and the fuel-air mixture ignition. That's why the spark occurs a little early. Most ignition systems have an advance unit build in. As the engine speeds up, the time of the spark retards a little bit. This helps the engine fire the mixture at the proper time.
Starting Fluid

Remove the fuel and vacuum lines from the petcock to the carb. Place a suitable container under the fuel line and draw air on the vacuum line to the petcock (if so equipped) and see how well the gas flows. The flow has to be more than a trickle. It should be steady and fairly substantial. If you get this flow, then you're ok. Run at least a pint of gas through to help flush the system. If you don't get a flow then it's likely your petcock is clogged. You have to remove it to disassemble and clean it. Carefully reinstall it on the gas tank or you could get a gas leak. Reassemble everything and try to start the scooter. It will take several seconds of cranking to get the gas to work its way from the gas tank to the carb. Hopefully it will start now! :>)

Electric Powered Scooter - Is It Better Than A Gas Powered Scooter?

By S.M. Vaidya

Is an electric powered scooter better than a gas powered one? Well, better is a relative word and both these types of scooters do have their own advantages. An electric powered scooter is a new concept but gaining popularity over the gas powered scooter.

One thing to consider here is the standard fuel or gas powered engine was discovered almost 100 years ago and has been constantly improved by many engineers for better performance with the latest engines controlled by computers. As compared to this the electric powered vehicles are relatively new technology and there is lot more to come.

Electronic powered scooters have their own advantages. Some of them can be listed here like.

1) Lightweight
2) Less noisy
3) Low running and maintenance cost
4) Zero pollution
5) Easy maneuvering even in heavy traffic

With all these things in consideration it seems that they are much better than a gas-powered scooter. But they do have their limitations. The very first limitation is the battery on which the electric powered scooter runs. This needs charging on a regular interval and will be useless where electricity is a big problem.

Also electric powered vehicles are lightweight and may not be as a robust as gas-powered vehicles, hence not suitable for long traveling distances. As the electric powered scooters are still new in the market there are many less number of people who can service such kind of vehicle. That is not the case with standard gas powered scooters. Plenty of resources are easily available when it comes to maintaining a gas-powered vehicle.

Apart from all these factors electric powered scooters are gaining popularity because they are easy to drive for all age groups and are innovative. People like 'innovation and new' things happening in life. Imagine a college teenager owning an electric scooter. It brings him immediate attention amongst his friends and saves him money too. So an electric powered scooter is a great option in the future as a personal vehicle.

Kid Electric Scooter - Features Of An Electric Scooter For A Kid

By S.M. Vaidya

Amongst the many vehicles that have been designed for kids such as a bicycle or even a tricycle, an electric scooter is the most popular one. The reason for this is simple. By driving an electric scooter a kids feels like driving a real 'gas powered' scooter. His confidence levels are high and he feels like an adult.

If you are planning to buy an electric scooter for kids keep in mid that this vehicle is going to give your kids freedom to move around anywhere they want to without your help. AN electric scooter is extremely easy to handle and drive and smart kids can pick up this skill very easily.

A kid electric scooter must be light in weight and preferably foldable. After the ride is over you can easily fold it and take it inside the house for charging the battery.

It is better if the electric scooter for kids has more than two wheels. A scooter with three or four wheels is best for kids for stability reasons. This is the best option for kids for many reasons. Firstly they are easy to maneuver and are lightweight. It's a great way for kids to move around in the neighborhood with friends or even take them away fro a small picnic on beach.

Because there is no engine and gas to burn an electric scooter does not emit harmful gases to make your kid sick. However in spite of all the advantages of an electric scooter, it must be operated in parent's observation. Kids have a curious mind and will always try to poke their hands in to things they should not. it should not happen that you purchase a beautiful scooter model and find it's parts missing the other day.

Many models for kids are available that are lightweight and exciting colors. Make sure to read customer reviews before you make a final decision of purchasing a model for your kid. This will save your rime and money in the long run.

Electric Motor Scooter - Should I Buy An Electric Motor Scooter?

By S.M. Vaidya

Electric motor scooter is gaining popularity because of many obvious reasons. Firstly those who start using an electric scooter immediately see a lot of money saved on fuel because the running cost is much less than a standard gas scooter.

An electric scooter is one of the greatest discoveries for elderly and the handicapped people. Using wheelchair can solve this problem but definitely has limitation. A wheelchair cannot be used for long distance traveling. On the other hand an electric scooter specifically designed for a handicapped person can greatly improve his self-esteem because of the freedom of traveling he gets because of an electric motor scooter.

If you have decide to buy an electric motor scooter it is good idea to do some research first because it is a relatively new concept and you won't find many people using it. So first read reviews of what other users have to say about these machines.

Since a scooter is a machine, it will require a regular servicing and maintenance. That is why when you buy one makes sure that the manufacturer of these scooters have a good after sales service in your local area. As I said it is a new concept and you won't find local mechanics ready to repair it, if it fails.

An electric motor scooter has got many more advantages over a conventional gas powered scooter. It is light weight, makes less noise, is easy to maneuver and also comes with foldable models so that can carry it to other cities if you love traveling.

With so many models to choose from, you can go for a two, three or a four-wheeler scooter by carefully doing research on the budget side as well. Since these scooters are new they are a little more priced as an initial investment but very cost effective in the long run. As their popularity grows overtime the prices will definitely drop and everyone will be enjoy an electric motor scooter ride.

Buying the Right Electric Scooter

By Jill Pinciotti

If you are shopping for a new electric scooters/a>, then you have probably seen a variety of different types and models. From portable travel scooters that fit in the trunk of a car to larger heavy duty scooters that resemble golf carts, there is a scooter that will fit almost any situation. A good understanding of the different types available will insure that you purchase the one that will best meet your needs.

Travel Scooters

Travel scooters can are available in both 3 and 4 wheel models however, most come in 3 wheel configurations to make them lighter. Travel electric scooters are perfect for the person that is on the road a lot and needs to take their scooter with them. Travel scooters can often be disassembled into smaller, lighter pieces to aid in transport. The overall weight of a travel scooter is also very light. The biggest disadvantage in purchasing a travel scooter is that they generally have a lower weight capacity, and do not come with as many features and options.

3 Wheel Scooters

3 wheel electric scooters are perfect for indoor maneuvering. 3 wheel scooters have a tighter turning radius so they are able to turn sharper and get around corners much easier. So, if you plan on using your mobility scooter a lot indoors then a 3 wheel scooter might be best suited for your needs.

4 Wheel Scooters

4 wheel electric scooters can be used both indoors and outdoors but don�t have quite the turning radius that a 3 wheel scooter has. 4 wheel scooters are perfect for outdoor maneuverability where the terrain is not smooth and because of its 4 wheels instead of 3, there is increased stability and traction over the 3 wheel model. Most of the time 4 wheel scooters will also feature larger wheels and a better suspension system just for that purpose. If you will be spending more time driving your electric scooter outdoors then a 4 wheel scooter will definitely benefit you more.

Heavy Duty Scooters

Heavy duty electric scooters generally have higher weight capacities than their counterparts. The weight capacities are usually around 400-500lbs for most HD scooters. On top of having higher weight capacities, heavy duty electric scooters also have wider seats and are constructed a little longer to give more leg room.

Now that you know the types of electric scooters available and their strengths and weaknesses, you can make the most informed decision possible.

Scooter tires, especially the back ones can be difficult to find, as many outlets don't carry the specialized size. When looking at scooter tires, a consumer may need to go on-line to order them.

First, remove all of the rubber and gaskets or they will get damaged. After a 20 minute soaking in carb dip, I blow out the carb with compressed air. You have to get all the jets and the passageways clean. Be sure the jets are clear, especially the starter jet. Sometimes carb cleaner won't clear out these tiny jets. Use a guitar or a piano string, a strand of copper electrical wire, or a tiny drill bit pin vise. Be sure not to increase the size of the hole in the starter jet or you'll change the tuning. Carefully reassemble everything, checking for cracks in the rubber carb boots and the gaskets. Replace them if they are old and cracked. Be sure and remove all rubber and gasket material first or they could get ruined. Spray carb cleaner also works if you're diligent.

There are some disadvantages to using a scooter. They can be hazardous in bad weather. They are not too easily seen, when you are in a congested area of traffic. If you are one to worry about your hair, you can count on re-grooming it at your destination. But probably the most important factor is that of general safety. You don't wear a seat belt. You don't have a lot of steel and metal around you to protect you. Your percentage of getting hurt in an accident is much higher.

Fast Electric Scooters

By Seth Miller

Fast electric scooters are becoming widely accepted as a mode of transportation and offer smooth and effortless riding, coupled with the capacities to reach speeds of 20-25 mph traveling distances up to 25 miles on a single charge. These scooters provide superior acceleration when compared to other electric scooters and provide the ultimate in electric scooter mobility. Now you can ride around on a fast electric scooter and do your errands in style. Your neighbors wouldn�t be affected in any manner as these fast electric scooters are environmentally friendly and super quiet.

Fast electric scooters are another thrill to add to your outdoor activities. They are fuel efficient and cost-effective when compared to motorcycles and are well suited for long distance traveling as the power and performances of these scooters are amazing. Fast electric scooters are designed to negotiate rough terrains with ease, so that riding is always a pleasure.

Before you buy your fast electric scooter, find out what your state and local regulations are regarding the use of fast motor scooters on public roadways, sidewalks, bicycle trails, and other paths and areas. You may or may not need to get a special permit or license to ride your fast motor scooter. Be sure to obey all traffic laws and customs just as you would if you were riding a motorcycle or bicycle.

Scooters belonging to this category are not usually cheap as the manufacturing cost of utility scooters is rather high. Fast electric scooter deals at times come with free batteries and shipping, inclusive of the price of the scooter. As these scooters have greater horsepower, they are proof to greater wear and tear than others in the scooter category.

This issue doesn't come up very often. However, at high altitudes (above 4000 ft), your scooter will start starving for air. You'll need to place a smaller main jet in the carb, so that it will take in less fuel. A good rule of thumb is to reduce the size of the main jet by 10% and see if that works.

Guide On What To Look For In Electric Mobility Scooters

By Jez Huntington

Thanks to the tremendous advances in disabled mobility scooter design and technology over recent years, people who have mobility problems now can enjoy greater freedom and independence than ever before.

The main aim of a mobility scooter is to give people a richer quality of life and give them the freedom of choice that a wheelchair does not afford. Mobility Scooters give people independence and allows them to manage a lot of the everyday tasks themselves, such as shopping, going out with friends, going out for �walks� with people, they no longer are housebound.

Please note the following details are based on the law in Spain. The laws may differ in different countries.

The mobility scooters at present are divided into Class 2 and Class 3 vehicles.

Class 2 Mobility scooter vehicles are the smaller scooters, such as the one�s you can dismantle and put into the trunk of a car. These scooters will travel up to speeds of 6.4kph (4mph), and the scooters are allowed to travel on the pavements and to cross over roads only, they are suitable for indoor use as they are smaller and more compact.

For use indoor and outdoor, but scooters are best on even surfaces.
These scooters have a short distance range.
Scooters are less stable.
Scooter seats are not so comfortable.
Available with 3 or 4 wheels.
The scooters can be collapsed/dismantled for transporting.
The scooters are designed to fit easily into a car boot.
Has handles for lifting and are lightweight.
Normally the scooter battery can also be removed for lifting.
Small and compact scooter

Class 3 Mobility scooter vehicles are the larger scooters which are capable of traveling up to 12.8kph
(8mph). These scooters can travel on the pavements but are also allowed to travel on the roads, although you don�t need a driving license to use one, you must obey the rules of the road. If you haven�t driven before it is best to talk to your dealer and arrange for a mobility scooter training course.

Larger scooter models have more comfortable seats.
Will cover long distances.
The scooters come with 3 or 4 wheels.
Curb climbing of 10cm.
Speed selector switch � pavement setting 4mph (6.4kph) can be flipped up to 6-8mph (12.8kph).
The mobility scooters come with lights, indicators and a horn.
Flashing beacon �optional � used when on the road to warn others of your presence.

The Difference between 3 and 4 wheel mobility scooters

3 wheel scooter version has a better turning circle and allows turning in smallspaces and round tight corners.
The 4 wheel mobility scooter version is more stable but not as maneuverable.

Given that most scooters only take a quart of oil - what is the cost of a quart? Even the very best synthetic oil is only $5 a quart. If you have a 125/180/200cc Yamaha, you will also need a ~$6 oil filer. That's only $10! Is that cheap or what? As for oil, use a top quality oil made for smaller engines. I use a top quality synthetic oil (Castrol or Mobil One for instance). Remember that changing your oil is WAY cheaper than replacing your engine.
