Winter Sport Insurance
Thinking about a scooter in Arizona..?
I know the temperature is warming up, but I need to save money and so I’ve been thinking about getting a scooter. Many people talk about the weather, but here in AZ we get rain once every few months or so and never have a winter.
I’m wondering if anyone knows what insurance covers with these? Is it the same as a regular motorcycle?
Also, I was told small wheels, anything under 16 inches are pretty dangerous because they are smaller and more wreckless. My commute is 8 miles non-highway driving, been thinknig about a 150cc.. not too big, not too small.. I know I dont want a 250cc bike. Is that true about the wheels?
Any SCOOTER insight would be appreciated, as I know a lot about sport bikes already and I seem to find most information on those rather than scooters.. Thanks!
Legally a motorcycle *is* a scooter — no difference. (But they are cheaper in insurance cost.)
Some *claim* small wheels are less dangerous, but not in accident statistics. You want a 17″ wheels you can get a SYM Symba — Taiwan clone of a 1960′s Honda. The scooter I have been thinking of is the Piaggio Fly 150 — Italian, many decades.
A scooter is usable as your full time vehicle. You will need a rain suit, and riding in the rain is slippier — as a car! — but not safe if you slow.
