- Can a scooter cover such distances economically
- Make sure you research thoroughly online to find the best model for you
- Do you need a two stroke or four stroke model
- Will you need the scooter tuned for extra performance
- What will you use the scooter for
- Do you have the correct safety gear to ride a scooter
- Do you have the necessary skill level to ride a scooter
- Can you afford the cost of additional insurance and repairs
- Do you have a license
Of these, safety gear is a major concern. All too often one sees a young person riding a scooter without any safety gear, in normal clothing. Every so often you may even see someone riding without a shirt on. If you were to have an accident in such clothing (or lack of clothing), you could suffer some terrible skin injuries and bone related injuries. However, if you wear the correct safety gear, these injuries can be avoided.
Safety
It is advised that long trousers and long sleeves are always worn to guard against skin loss in a skid. In addition a helmet is also advised to guard against head injuries. You should also wear elbow pads and kneepads to protect these joints from harm.

- Fuel consumption compared to cars; the same amount of money in fuel costs could get you twice as far in 125 scooters when compared to a car. This is due to the low weight of the scooter, making it easier to propel with similar levels of revs.
- Low tax cost.
