I have always wanted to get a scooter, which is a type of motorcycle with a smaller frame and a platform for the rider's feet.
Really? I have never been on a scooter, is it for recreational or use to get around?
They are used for both. Elements of scooter design were present in some of the earlies motorcycles, and have been around just as long.
Are they affordable to run?
Yes, scooters are intended to provide economical personal transportation. They use less gasoline and are less powerful than motorcycles.
Do you have to have a license to drive a scooter?
Yes but licensing requirements for scooters are cheaper and easier than for cars in most parts of the world.
Ok they must be higely popular in India and Asian countries you see tons of them on tv in traffic
That is true. They also have motor scooters which are a motorcycle similar to a kick scooter with a seat and low wheels.
How are scooters on emissions? Better or worse than a car?
