The classic scooter design features a step-through frame and a flat
floorboard for the rider's feet. This design is possible because the
scooter engine and drive system, transferring power to the rear wheel,
is either attached to the rear axle or under the seat. In contrast to a
frame mounted motorcycle engine, this front-hinged arrangement allows
the engine to swing vertically in conjunction with the motion of the
rear wheel.
If you have invested in a scooter, you will want to protect it from the
elements buy purchasing a good quality cover. Covers also discourage
unwanted guests for trying your scooter on for size.
