- A scooter wheel is like a spinning top - - the greater the speed, the more stable it is.

Q: What engine size do I need?

A: This depends entirely on what you'll be doing with the scooter. If you plan to do much highway commuting or touring, bigger is better. The legal minimum on California highways is 150ccs. We’d recommend at least a liquid-cooled 250cc engine. If you're not planning on jumping on the highway, a 50cc or 150cc is plenty for around town. Also, keep in mind that it is equally important to fit you to the proper overall size of scooter for your body frame and size. In many cases, different engine sizes are available on the same model scooter.
