here's a link to the type of motor scooter I'm talking about: http://scooterdepot.us/150cc-Jonway-Motorcycle-Sunny-Gas-Motor-Scooters-up-to-80-MPG-p-624.html
I'm wondering this because I looked on the "unofficial DMV guide" website and it was unclear as to motor scooters, and what type of license you need to drive them. Best Answer will go to the most thorough response, hopefully you will have some sort of source(s).

I'm trying to figure this out: in a given year, how many fatal/permanently injurious accidents occur on motor scooters compared to the number of accidents total? Also, how many motor scooters are on the road at that time? I'd like to know the same for cars...
Thanks!

There is a group of women who want to travel cross country on small motor scooters to bing awareness to violence against women. We are looking for inexpensive scooters that are reliable. Any ideas? Should we even attempt to purchase them online? Would a 50cc take us the distance, or do we need larger 100 cc models? I drove a 50 cc years ago.

I recently had my driver's license suspended and have been looking for alternate modes of transportation. I have been looking at motor scooters and have heard from several people about the laws regarding their legality and the qualifications to operate them. To my understanding it is legal to drive a motor scooter that is approved by the GADOT as long as it is 49CC or under without a license. I need to find out exactly what the laws are because an arrest would be my life! Thanks for all responses in advance

There are two types of 50cc Moped Scooters parts, one type keeps it maintained and the other part is to keep it running also known as performance and non-performance, and if you happen to have an older scooter, it is a good idea to steadily upgrade or change the parts in order for the scooter to run at its best.
If you have an older model for instance, you can replace the motor with a newer one with more horsepower, this will improve your speed immensely when encountering hills, as this will improve the torque.Belts will also need to be changed, and you can also replace this with a chain. Replacing the belt with a chain seems like a very good idea, economically as belts tend to burn out often causing them to be replaced.
Make sure to change the batteries regularly to something powerful with higher amps as this will also be beneficial to give your scooter a better boost. These batteries along with many other parts can be found at the local garage, and some of the parts can also be ordered online, so do a Google search and be sure to check them out for the best deals.
Some older models such as the Vespa are still around, although many of the parts have been replaced. Check around at the various suppliers of parts and they should be able to direct you to where to get the parts that you need, if in fact they do not have it.
Non-performance parts are a little easier to find and replace than the performance parts of a scooter. The non-performance parts have some importance on how your vehicle runs but not as vital as a good battery and motor.

Finding Cheap 50cc motor scooters is easy and a great alternative mode of transportation to combat the rise in fuel prices. They come in a variety of sizes, 50cc scooters to 800cc scooters. Besides the obvious savings with fuel, there are many benefits to owning a gas scooter.
Unlike the motorcycle, motor scooters are significantly easier to use. Scooters operation with just a throttle with no need to learn how to shift gears, so even kids can easily operate. In comparison to motorcycles, moped scooters are much lighter, engine is located above the rear axle below the seat, and riders rest feet on a platform instead of pedals.
Another advantages are that they are economical. All over the world, scooters are a popular form of urban transportation due to their low cost. The price depends on many factors including whether you're buying a high quality name brand versus an inexpensive and low quality model. Most beginning models can start below $1000.
Gas savings though out the year is another benefit of owning a motor scooter. It can be very difficult to find a car which averages over 30 mpg, while most scooters can get over 80 mpg. The annual gas savings alone can provide the extra money needed for those unexpected bills.
Another benefit for motor scooters is they are street legal. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Transportation (DOT) states that mopeds meet their strict standards and can legally be used on most roads. Because most scooters can not attain high speeds, it is a good idea to keep them off the highway or interstate.
As you can see, the benefits of owning a motor scooter are great. Not only are they fun to use and easy to operate, but the gas scooters are very economical. Lastly, you will not have a hard time finding a good parking spot, saving you more time.

Whether it be an aversion to rising gas prices or the motivation to do ones part in lowering carbon emissions, for a more eco-positive lifestyle try a maxiscoot. This new conscious effort to increase our energy efficiency and reduce our carbon footprints explain the new found interests in MaxiScoots as a preferred method of day to day transportation.
Aside from being totally fun to ride scooters are also environmentally friendly. They are an incredible economical way to travel as well.
Enter a relative newcomer to the scooter market, the maxiscoot. In the world of scooters, the maxiscoot is generally defined as a scooter with an engine rating of 250cc or above. Some of these scooters allow you to scoot along at speeds close to 100 mph (about 160 kmph), more than adequate for freeway traffic conditions and for making longer trips more enjoyable.
This allows the scooter to travel at speeds close to 100 mph, allowing for travel on interstates and highways as well as making them more fun and fuel efficient. The average fuel consumption for MaxiScoots is between 50-69 mpg, depending on the manufacturer.
Maxiscoots have been appealing to international consumer markets in Italy and Japan and thusly most of the manufacturers are based in these markets as well. But recently, with the public becoming more environmentally conscious, more manufacturers have entered into the arena. Taiwan has begun production of the Maxi class Bug Hawk 250.
By changing your mode of transportation the money you used to put into the gas tank can now into the bank! Or you could splurge and treat yourself to something nice since you've been nice to the planet, right?
Depending on the make and model you choose you may get an average of 50 to 69 mpg. This is quite a big difference compared to a car getting anywhere from 15 to 25 mpg.
So get out there and get started saving money and the planet by riding a maxiscoot. The fun you get just from riding a maxiscoot will have you feeling like a kid again and you'll be cleaning the air as you ride!
