Scooters, like motorcycles, are designed to be ridden on the road. Typically, however, they have smaller displacement motors, usually less than 125cc. Aside from “maxi-scooters”, they are not designed to be ridden on the freeway.
Some distinguishing features scooters have are smaller wheels, automatic transmissions, and a “step-through” frame that allows both feet and lets to be together while riding. Some benefits of scooters are that they are light and portable, and usually have exceptional fuel mileage. But Keith Code cautions us that even “a moped is a deadly instrument in the wrong hands!”
