Electric scooters may get a kick-start from an unusual source: The NYPD. Starting in January, four scooters will be added to the city's police motor fleet. Though their number hardly makes for a revolution, the Vectrix scooters (the first plug-in vehicles legal on any highway or road) are part of a larger mission to green the department. Already, it boasts a number of hybrid and flex-fuel cars.
We've covered Vectrix's stateside arrival in the past. An $11,000 price tag puts it out of the reach of most consumers, but if the NYPD test is successful, it may popularize the scooter enough to help bring down the cost. Meanwhile, the department insists long-term fuel savings will offset a higher price.—Abby Seiff

Scooters may consume less fuel, but they also have higher insurance premiums. But if you can get to over 30 wih a few years of no claims it might be a good idea.

But will they have the durability? I am only familiar with the electric scooters, would it be better with electric or petro?

Well, for me it is not surprising, it is rather relieving because we should have tackle the problem of protecting our environment long ago, so i hope we will continue in the same past

One of the greatest reasons to own a scooter is that the gas mileage they get is unbelievable. Some scooters particularly in the 50cc range can get more than one hundred miles to the gallon. Not only will you save on gas, but insurance is also cheaper.

With the passage of time with the increase of every thing pollution is also increasing very rapidly, all we need to reduce this by using environment loving products like these scooters. I have my own and it is not to costly either. I bought it at wholesale rate from wholesale suppliers.

Another thing needed to take as a good advice. Scooters are really a great option especially if you are near your work place or school.

Electronic scooters are better than scooters that needs fuel.it doesn't have dark smoke that comes out from the smoke pipe. It's environment friendly.
