Choosing your next scooter

You live in the city and are looking for a simple and fast way to get around without breaking the bank? Or perhaps you're simply looking for information to give or treat yourself to the scooter of your dreams?

Shapeheart is here to shed some light and help you discover all the types of scooters on the market! The goal: to turn you into a true scooter pro and impress more than a few people!

The classic

Gas-powered scooter

You've all seen them — they're probably the ones you encounter most in your daily life: gas-powered scooters. These vehicles are traditionally powered by an internal combustion engine running on gasoline. They are generally more powerful than electric scooters, offering better speed and greater range, making them suited for longer journeys or for riding on faster roads.

Downsides of these scooters: exhaust fumes (not the most eco-friendly) and refueling with gasoline.

The modern touch

Electric scooters

Increasingly popular in recent years, electric scooters have made a name for themselves on the grand avenues of Paris. Thanks to their low environmental impact and relatively low running costs, these vehicles are gradually carving out a place in the two-wheeled market. They are powered by an electric motor fed by a rechargeable battery, making them quiet, eco-friendly, and economical to use. They are generally suited to urban travel and short distances.

The perfect vehicle if you're looking for an ideal companion for your daily commute.

THE TEENS' FAVORITE

50cc scooter

In the family of gas-powered scooters, we find the 50cc scooter. This type of gas scooter is often used by teenagers, students, and novice riders due to their small size and low power. They are generally limited to a maximum speed of 45 km/h in many countries and often only require a specific license for 50cc scooters.

Perfect for short trips in the city, but generally not suitable for long distances or faster roads. So if you need a mode of transport for short daily journeys... You've found your companion!

Now we're getting serious!

Three-wheeled scooter

Three-wheeled scooters, also known as trike scooters, are scooters that have three wheels instead of two (it doesn't get simpler than that).

The small advantage of these vehicles is their stability compared to regular two-wheelers. This feature is a real plus for less experienced riders or those looking for a more stable option. Some three-wheeled scooters also offer additional storage space and better stability in corners, making them popular for longer journeys or for users who need to carry luggage!
