• Parking a scooter can be more convenient than other parking other vehicles.scooter image by Vonora from Fotolia.com
  
  Scooters don't not share the "manly" image of motorcycles, and lack the spaciousness of a full-sized car. Despite these drawbacks, scooters hold their own against their competitors. Owning a scooter has some very reasonable and practical advantages that many drivers can benefit from.
  
  

Fun

• One of the primary reasons people buy these compact vehicles is because of the fun that they will experience in driving them. The moderate speed of the scooter will give you sufficient time to savor the ride and enjoy the view, a benefit that you will not likely get when you are driving a super-fast sports vehicle.
  
  

Lightweight and Easy to Drive

• Scooters provide the perfect option in between a bicycle and a motor cycle. Scooters are lightweight, making them very maneuverable, easy to drive and easy to handle. They are also simple to operate. There are no complex buttons and less need for expensive repairs and tune-ups than motorcycles.
  
  

Less Costly and More Fuel-Efficient

• People will often opt for the low-key scooter because of its cost: a new scooter is much cheaper than a motorcycle. Perhaps more important is the scooter's fuel-efficiency. Less fuel burned means you save both on fuel costs and on emissions, which means the scooter is less harmful on the environment.
  
  

The Size Advantage

• Buying a scooter will also give you the "size advantage." Being small has many advantages. Scooters can easily break through traffic and finding a parking space is usually not a problem either.
