Stand up Gas Scooters

Stand up scooters are the sort that you just stand on, not the sort that you can sit on while you ride. The most popular of these are currently the little Razor scooters you see kids on, darting between cars and terrorizing dogs. The stand up gas scooters have small gas engines attached to the back of the scooter, which gives you speed and power without weighing down the scooter too much. These types of scooters are not street legal, and in some cases, it may not be legal to ride them on the sidewalk or bikepaths either.

The engines on stand up gas scooters are generally 36cc or 43cc, though you can occasionally find a larger one. They get good mileage per gallon, and they are fairly cheap. But since they do not have required safety features like turn signals, headlights, and horns, they are not necessarily appropriate for everyday use or for commuting. On the other hand, local police usually have better things to do than go after people on stand up gas scooters, especially if you keep a few things in mind. Don’t drive recklessly and endanger others. Don’t attract attention to yourself with stupid stunts. Stick to the sidewalk and bikepaths when traveling. Wear safety gear like a helmet and knee pads. And don’t let children drive if they are too young to be able to safely control the scooter. 

Stand up gas scooters are light and easy to store and carry. They are not terribly fast, but they are faster than scooters without engines! They are good for short commutes, quick errands, and neighborhoods that aren’t very large. They are also more environmentally friendly than other motorized vehicles and cheaper to fill with gas.
