- 1). Ask yourself how much you are willing to spend on a scooter and write that figure down to reference later on. Scooter prices can range anywhere from $500 to $3,000 and beyond. Know your budget before you start looking.
- 2). Ask yourself what you will be primarily using the scooter for. Will you be riding it to work every day? Will you only use it on weekends in the city? Will you want to take it on longer trips? Each scooter does some things well, others not so well. Know what you want to get out of the scooter before you purchase, and write that down so that you remember it when you are purchasing your scooter.
- 3). Check the laws governing scooters in your state. You can usually find these laws on the Internet or by contacting your state offices by phone or email. In some states, scooters are considered motorcycles, which means you'll need to get a motorcycle license before you ride.
- 1). Visit a scooter dealer in your area. There are thousands of scooter stores across the country, so check the Yellow Pages in your area. A couple of the more popular dealers are Yamaha and Honda, so see if those dealerships are near you. When you speak with a person at one of these dealerships, let him know what your budget is and what you will be using the scooter for. This will save you and the salesperson much time and frustration.
- 2). Visit an online scooter store. Neoscooters.com is just one online store, but you can easily find hundreds more by doing an online search. When you are looking for a scooter online, remember your budget and your reasons for wanting a scooter.
- 3). Contact the online store directly if any of the information you find online is unclear.
- 4). Purchase the scooter that's right for you and enjoy the ride!
