Scooters are distinguished from other categories of motorcycles with its protective leg shield, step-through frame and footboard. Its wheels are generally smaller than other motorcycles. The scooters are further classified into electric scooters, mobility scooters, gas scooters, motorized scooters and kick scooters.

The gas scooters usually have the step through frame. But then there are also gas scooters that come with sportier looks. Most are meant for city driving while there are those that are specially meant also for driving on highways. Of all the vehicles on the road, scooters beat them all in terms of fuel economy. They give you as much as 75 miles to a gallon. Being easily maneuverable, they are easily driven through congested roads. They need very little place to park as they are small. Mobility scooters are specially designed for use by the elderly and the handicapped. They are safe and slow. Their speed is as low as 5 to 10 miles per hour. Teenagers have been specially targeted with the motorized scooters which are also known as segways, standup or gas scooters, seated scooters and mopeds. They are less in cost and also give a good mileage. They are stylish and come in a variety of designs. Kick Scooters which are also called Push scooters are meant for school kids.
