Cheap Electric Scooters
With the rising costs of gas all over the world, buying a cheap electric motor scooter could be a great way to save money on your transportation.
But finding a good motor scooter takes some investigation and research first. The engines are rated by the output of watts. How your scooter will handle certain loads and terrain will depend on the rating.
The electric scooters are belt or chain driven, unless they are direct drive.
They are battery powered and many scooter brands come with two or three batteries. For the most part, the power rating of an electric motor scooter is determined by the power and by the quality of the batteries that are used. Factors such as rough road or terrain, tire pressure and heavy riders or loads can cause the battery charge to be drained more quickly.
Finding a good quality electric motor scooter that fits into your budget should not be too hard. With that said, you should expect to spend at least $500 to $700 or $800 on a good scooter. This may sound like a lot of money but you will also be saving a lot of money on fuel with your electric scooter.
You can also check the auctions and local papers and places like craigslist for scooters being sold online locally.
You may just get lucky and find a scooter being sold by someone who just can't make the payments or for some other reason, needs to sell it.
Also try to find out as much as you possibly can about the used scooters history. If it has been repaired and what was the extent of the repairs or if parts have been replaced over the years. Just like buying an automobile, make sure you check out the history of the scooter and find out as much as possible about any prior damage or repairs.

The way i save money is to pay cash. That way I am not paying on interest and the dealer is often willing to come down on price alittle with cash.
If you don’t have cash try and get a loan before you go in and do not tell the dealer you have the loan until everything is agreed upon.
Do what you can but don’t fret. If you take real good care of it, it will always go up in value. Just don’t but a sportster. One exception to the rule.
Buy a used one. You get soo much more than you would if you would buy a new one. Harley owners always put cool stuff on the bike after they buy it. If you buy one used, you get the bike and the cool stuff all in one shot for less than a new one. They don’t appreciate either. That is a myth, otherwise I’d be able to sell mine for more than I paid for it but, that’s just not the case.
First, dont buy it new!!!! you will lose a few thousand dollars just driving it off the lot… Also i would try EBay… or another auction… you will be able to save alot of money.
If your handy with a wrench…Buy a fixer upper I bought Mine from http://www.wreckedharleybikes.com/
Dont let the name fool you…they have some nice rides on there that are road ready…and they deliver to anywhere in the US.
I you’re mechanical buy a rebuild-able wreck, check the papers before and after events like Bike Week and such, if you have friends that work for the Post office, UPS, etc. ask them to keep an eye out for neighborhood for sale signs. But used is the way to go. A lot of the used bikes don’t have many miles as well. Good luck and welcome to the club.
First of all Harley’s are a lot easier to get at a sale price than any other bikes. Not because they’re any less of a bike but because they’re overpriced brand new. There are a lot shops that carry used bikes that are already decked out. They might be able to help you locate that one bike you’ll fall in love with. Check some of them out in your area. Good luck and enjoy a heck of a ride. He’s right don’t buy a sporster.
I bought a brand new Harley Heritage Softail…why the heritage? Simple, it came with everything I wanted already on it (Windshield, saddlebags and chrome). If you are going to buy a new one wait until December and then look around for the bikes that they didn’t sell yet…that is what I did and I got the bike 2,300 bucks cheaper (1500 off MSRP and the rest was powercommander -free, stage 1 – free, and pipes – half off price).
