Scooter mileage refers to the number of kilometers on the scooter that have been or can be used. You can not compare the mileage from different vehicles the mileage of an SUV is completely different than scooter mileage. High mileage for a scooter is typically around 60,000-70,000km so for a second hand scooter anything under that is not a bad buy. For a car however 70.000 is nothing at all.

But a scooter also has a completely different payback point. We will see that a scooter is one of the best investments you can make, because a scooter will pay for itself before you know it. We found a great comparison online on MotorScooterMuse .com, that we would like to share with you:

“Each mile in an SUV costs in gas PPG/MPG where PPG is the price per gallon and MPG is the mileage of your vehicle. If the price per gallon is $3.00 and your vehicle gets 12 miles per gallon, 3/12 = a cost of $0.25 per mile. Now we calculate cost/mile for a scooter at 85 MPG: 3/85 = about $0.035 – about three and a half cents a mile. With these figures, it is simple to see that each mile on a scooter costs $0.215 less than it would in an SUV. Thus, when it reaches 5000 miles, the scooter will have saved us 5000 * $0.215 or $1075.00! Just about the price of an inexpensive Motorscooter.”

And with the rising fuel costs the last few years there are many people who are looking at ways to save on gas. They are looking for alternative transportation, and they are looking at Scooters in particular as a cheap way of transportation for trips to the store, work etc.
