Most inexpensive transport ever

            Today every one wants to save his money but due to dearness of everything it is become much difficult to save. As other things, traveling is also necessary to live a life and it’s a basic requirement of everyone if you want to go office or school or anywhere you need some conyeance. Today i’m gonna tell you the best and inexpensive option to fill this requirement.

According to my experience most inexpensive way is to riding on 50cc scooter. Yes i have used almost every vehicle and finally i found that scooter is much better for low budget. Here are few reasons why i prefer 50cc scooter.

Ø   Low Price
           50cc scooter can buy at reasonable price than other vehicles  Normally you can buy a 50 cc scooter between $ 500 to $800. You can also get more cheap scooters lower than $500 but that scooter will be also cheap mean poor quality.You can check scooter prices on internet.

Ø          Fuel Saving
Today prices of fuel are going up day by day. A normal 50cc scooter fuel consumption is around 2.0 liter per 100 km that is much lower than other all vehicle.

Ø   Inexpensive maintenance
Maintenance cost of 50cc scooter is less than other all vehicle. If you have a heavy vehicle than you must be know it’s maintenance cost. 50cc scooter required a minimum amount for maintenance.

Ø  Insurance expenses
Scooter insurance is very inexpensive compared to other vehicles. Even in some countries ther is no need to carry insurance for 50cc scooter you can check you own country driving rules.

Ø  Licence requirement
In mostly countries you are not required a motorcycle license for 50cc scooter as insurance. But  Scooters above 50cc like 125cc or above you need a motorcycle licence. Again you can check your own country driving rules.

Ø        Easy to use
Scooters can be used by anyone in family even they are kids. But for kids please give some safty precaution before using scooter. In short scooter are easy to use and can be used by anyone because they are lightweight.

Ø      Flexibility
Because of their size they provide great advantage when it comes in traffic and it is much easier to find parking place for scooters.

Due to above reasons demand of scooters is increasing day by day and also scooter companies are increasing and also scooter shops are increasing.

Some things that we should look before buying a scooter

Here asre some things that we should look before buying any scooter or moped specially first time.

Reason of buying scooter:

There might be several reasons, fun to commute, Ease of finding parking, great gas mileage(50 to 90 mpg), wanna look cool cause scooters are much stylish and romantic.

Your riding place and time:

In some areas have lot of mountains and hills and also have cool weather and snow falling every time so if you are in such kind of place and buying scooter for such place then i think you are making a mistake. Scooters are best for plain road in normal weather.

New or used:

If you’re New to Scooting, many people say it's better to buy a New Scooter. This will help you avoid potential headaches down the road. A new scooter comes with a warranty and everything should work properly. If you want to save some money and purchase a used scooter, If you can afford a new one, buy new.

Brand of scooter:

There are LOTS of good quality scooters and mopeds made. They come from many places including The United States, Italy, Taiwan and Japan. If you go to a reputable dealer your new scooter will be under warranty. Here is a list of good brands to consider:
Vespa, Piaggio, Aprilla, Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kymco, SYM.

Your desired speed of scooter:

Normally 50cc scooters can go 50 km/h and 125cc scooters maximum speed is 80 km/h. frankly a little 50cc scooter might be perfect for short distance like if your office or workplace is not much far to you and you wanna go there on scooter than 50cc scooter is best. If you are planning to commute long distances on a 70mph highway you’ll need adequate size and power.

CBT (compulsory basic tarining) before riding scooter on road

Most learner motorcycle and moped riders must take compulsory basic training (CBT) before riding on the road. You then have to pass your full motorcycle test within 2 years or you’ll have to take CBT again.If you passed your car driving test before 1 February 2001 you don’t need to take CBT to ride a moped. You also don’t have to take CBT if you:

have a full moped licence from passing a full moped test after 1 December 1990

have a full motorcycle licence for one category and want to upgrade to another

Booking CBT:

Compulsory basic training (CBT) needs to be booked directly through an approved training body (ATB). The cost of CBT is set by the ATB and depends on where the training takes place and if you bring your own moped or motorcycle.

What CBT involves:

Compulsory basic training (CBT) has 5 elements:

Introduction and eyesight check:

You will need to be able to read a number plate off a wall. The safety talk usually includes clothing and helmet advice, general road safety and a few other things. The talk lasts between 1 and 2 hours.

Practical on-site training:

This is where you’ll actually get into contact with the bike. You’ll be shown the controls and you’ll be taken through some of the basic checks that you need to do each time before riding, as well as shown how to start the bike.

Practical on-site riding:

This is where the real fun begins! You’ll move onto an off road area to start riding. Starting off with learning how to use the clutch to take off, followed by some exciting things like emergency stops and turns.

Practical on-road training:

Now, it’s back to the classroom for a well-deserved break from riding. You’ll get a pre–road ride briefing, covering the Highway Code, how to stay visible, speed control, road signs and how to ride defensively.

Practical on-road riding:

This is what you have been waiting for. You’ll be taken out on the road for a ride. Your instructor will start you off on quieter roads and then move you onto faster, busier roads.

CBT certificate of completion:

When you complete compulsory basic training (CBT) to at least the minimum standard, you’ll get a certificate of completion – also called a DL196. Your certificate of completion lets you ride a moped or a motorbike up to 125cc on the road with L plates for 2 years (L or D plates in Wales).

If you lose your certificate:

The certificate of completion is a legal document. It proves your right to ride as a provisional rider. You may be asked to produce it by the police. If you lose your certificate, ask the approved training body you the took the course with for a replacement. You can be charged up to £20 for this.

How to make scooter faster - Tips for increasing speed of scooter

Everyone wants to make his scooter more faster than it’s normal speed. So here are some method for increasing speed, some are cheaper and some are expensive.

Here’s my favorite technique for increasing speed of scooter.

Remove the fuel filter, your scooter will go faster because the engine can get more fuel.. what crap. This would only be true if your fuel filter was completely blocked and your engine wasn't getting any fuel. If this was happening you'd know about it!

Tuning:
Having your carb(Carburetor) tuned properly will allow you to get the most out of your motorized scooter. If your scooter isn't tuned properly, it will 'bog' down when you try and accelerate or it may accelerate well but die at 2/3 revs rather than going to full revs.

Replace your air filter:
This may seem unnecessary, but it is a very important step. By removing your moped scooter air filter and replacing it with an expansion chamber or a higher performance muffler, you can actually increase the speed of the moped scooter. This is a simple remove and replace step and should not need any tools other than a screwdriver.

Advance the timing:
When you advance the timing you cause the spark plug to ignite the fuel a little earlier which helps burn the fuel better. Be careful, once you change the timing its hard to get it back to the original setting. I've heard however that advancing the timing on a scooter with an expansion chamber and high performance carb will actually decrease performance.

Raising the compression:
1. Remove the washer around the spark plug and then stop any leaks with liquid gasket cement.
I've personally tried this one and I wouldn't do it again.

2. Remove the head gasket from the motor. This will lower the cylinder and reduce the gap between the top of the piston and the spark plug. You can use liquid gasket cement to replace the old cardboard gasket. Have fun with this one!

3.The third and the best technique I've seen is to take your motor into a small engine shop and get about 20 thousands of an inch machined off the base of the cylinder. This allows you to keep your normal head gasket rather than removing it and replacing it with liquid head gasket cement which can leak.

Changing the gear ratio:
Changing the drive ration will change the acceleration (get up & go) and top speed of your scooter. On scooters such as Go-Ped, Martin Monster and OZ scooters which use a spindle on tyre drive technique, changing the diameter of the spindle will change the drive ratio of the scooter. The larger the diameter of the spindle, the more top end. The smaller the spindle the more low end grunt and acceleration it will have. With scooters driven by chain and/or reduction gearbox (VIZA VIPER, VENOM, CRUZE also sold under the Tami name) changing the rear sprocket size on the rear wheel will change the drive ratio.

Expansion chamber pipes:
Expansion Chamber Pipes, racing pipes or whatever you want to call them give a marked increase in horsepower. Different pipes are required for each engine to obtain the maximum benefit out of them. Racing pipes can also be tuned to give maximum increase at either low or high revs. Racing pipes will make the engine run hotter so caution should be taken in hot weather.

Turbo:
Using forced air induction will boost performance by forcing more air in, more fuel into the motor giving your scooter more go.

Kind of scooters in market

These days scooters are getting more popular due to their cool style and economical inexpensive. Scooter companies are trying to make scooter more affordable and unique style. Here are the basics types of scooter.

Folding scooter:

As it can be known by it’s name Folding scooter can be folded to the size of a suitcase after use. Currently, it is the most popular model in the scooter market, and is available in two models, two wheeled and three wheeled. The two wheeled model is considered to be the standard folding scooter. Folding scooters are compact in size and come with a body of aluminum or steel. Thus, folding scooters are lightweight and can be easily carried on a bus, car, van, or some other vehicle.

Skateboard scooter:

Normally skateboard scooter is for kids but also available for elders. Skateboard scooters come with a fixed handlebar, and are steered just like standard skateboards. Unlike other scooters, skateboard scooters have smaller wheels, and are typically slower. The skateboard scooter is suitable for trick riding.

Freestyle scooter:

Normally skateboard use for trick riding but it’s another type of scooter used for trick riding is the freestyle scooter. The most attractive feature of the freestyle scooter is the kick tail, a part of the deck extending upward over the back wheel.

Three wheel folding scooter:

It’s almost same with folding scooter that is described above. As the name implies, this is a three wheeled scooter that can be folded after use. It has one wheel in front and two wheels at the back, and the wheels are 100mm in-line skate style. Three wheel folding scooters are a combination of the folding scooter and the skateboard scooter. Thus, they include some of the features of both.

Executive scooter:

It features handbrakes and large polyurethane wheels, about 180mm wide. The wheels are designed to handle cracks and bumps and glide easily. Thus, it provides a smooth and fast ride. Commonly, the large wheel scooter is used by adults and older children. Though an executive scooter is large in size, they can be folded just like the standard folding scooter.

Gas and Electric scooters:

Gas powered motorized scooters and electric powered motorized scooters are more powerful and easy to drive. Because of these features, these two types of scooters are widely used for on and off road long distance and short distance drives. But, gas powered motorized scooters are not permitted in some areas. So, it is always recommended to check the rules and regulations before purchase.
