Should You Buy a Motorcycle or a Scooter?

While both motorcycles and scooters are popular alternatives to cars, these two vehicles actually have very little in common. If you’ve recently decided to trade in your car for a two-wheeled option, you may be wondering which vehicle is the right fit for you. To answer that question, and learn more about the many benefits that come with owning a motorcycle or scooter, be sure to read through our article below!

Expenses 

Scooters are typically the more affordable option between these two vehicles. Not only is their sticker price much lower than a motorcycle’s, but they also require less fuel and less general maintenance. Even the parts and equipment for a scooter will be more affordable than for a motorcycle, although they may be a bit more difficult to find. 

Travel 

Scooters and motorcycles are both great commuter vehicles and are perfect for traveling through narrow city streets or around tight corners. However, scooters are restricted to residential streets in most states, meaning you’ll need to purchase a motorcycle to travel on the highway or outside of town. Motorcycles are also much better equipped to handle long distances and high speeds. If you plan on taking day trips outside of town, or traveling cross country, a motorcycle is the better choice.
