There is no actual designation for different levels of scooters, but for the sake of this article, I’d like to explain the delineations I see in scooters. These are by no means industry standard divisions. These are just how I envision the various types and levels of scooters on the market today.

A folding, or “foldy”, scooter with adjustable handle bars is what I would consider, for the purposes of this article, a “level 1″ scooter. Level 1 scooters are the cheapest, most entry-level scooters that will work great for young kids just beginning to ride. All of the Razor A1, A2, A3, Spark, Graffiti, and B models, as well as most lesser-known brand folding scooters, are level 1 scooters. These scooters range in price from $19-$39.

A “level 2″ scooter would be a foldy scooter that you can modify to lock the folding mechanism. The Razor Pro model is one of the few scooters in this category. While some people have modified the level 1 scooters to lock them from folding, the metal in the folding mechanism really isn’t strong enough to support this kind of modification.

The Razor Pro model has a sturdy enough mechanism to support bolts to lock the folding mechanism. I refer to these modified Pro models as a “bolty pro”. The Razor Pro model is around $79. Scooters that have been designed without a folding mechanism or adjustable handle bars would be what I would consider a “level 3″ scooter. Scooters in this category are the Razor Ultra Pro, the Fuzion Elite, and the Madd Gear (MGP) Pro model. These are typically $99-$120.

Beyond the level 3 scooters are competition-level pro scooters, or what I’ll call “level 4″ scooters in this article. The reality is that some of the level 3 scooters are competition-level scooters, but they might require modifications before a rider would compete on them.

A level 4 scooter is one that either comes complete with competition-level parts or a scooter that has been custom built/assembled to be a competition-level pro scooter.

Electric mopeds, electric bicycles and gas powered scooters can reduce the use of gas and  also play an important role in  stopping climate change. Scooters are also a fun and safe way to travel.

If you care deeply about the environment but have to arrange your own mode of travel then either of these options would make an excellent choice.

You have to wear some protective gear when riding a scooter, as well as your passenger, because even though a scooter seems safe, even the smallest accident can prove fatal. So you always be careful and alert. And drive smart. And always, always wear the helmet.

* Motor Scooter Maintenance Tips
Just like you use preventive maintenance for your house or car, it is also beneficial for your scooter. By following the following scooter maintenance tips, you will have a reliable means of transportation that will last for years! Perhaps the most important item of maintenance is to regularly check the oil level and change the oil at frequent intervals.

Accidents can happen anytime and anywhere, so it is best to be prepared.

Scooters are cheaper to run, they use less fuel on average, they take up less space, are easier to park, less prone to severe congestion and more importantly they are better for the environment. One person commuting daily to work on a standard commuter bike uses less fossil fuel and produces far less CO2 and does far less damage to the climate than cars and SUVs. This is a proven fact.

If a pros and cons list is made, scooters would win hands down.If you use scooters for your business, say pizza delivery, it is still cost-effective and environmentally friendly to deploy scooters.
