Many people are looking for an alternative to their car for commuting to work or for short local runs where the size and cost of a car is just not practical. However, among this group there are many who don’t want or need the full range and power of a motorcyle and don’t want the extra time and expense associated with learning to ride one.
Scooter ownership is a great easy way to get on to two wheels all you need to do is take a CBT on a scooter and you are done. Depending on your age you may be restricted to a 50cc moped, but once that restriction is passed you will be able to ride a 125cc scooter, and a 125cc will be enough for local use. In fact I use mine to cover much longer distances, and with a bit of map reading you will be surprised just how far you can get on b roads.
Even if you are not sure if a scooter is right for you then why not go along and do your scooter cbt. It will give you a better road sense no matter what you plan to ride or drive, and is a good fun day. CBT on a scooter! It makes sense.
