If you have ever been stuck in traffic for hours and witnessed a scooter weaving through, making it seem like a piece of cake, there is a good chance that you wanted to do the same.

The growing numbers of traffic issues along with hiking fuel prices are important reasons why a large number of people are now considering moving to scooters as their sole mode of transportation.

However, choosing the right scooter size takes careful consideration.

Apart from researching models, you may also need to put in time to test them out. Most scooter riders prefer sticking with mid-sized scooters so that they get the best of everything – utility, performance, and fuel efficiency.  

Why should you go for a mid-sized scooter?

More Storage, More Utility

The number one reason why many riders prefer to stick with mid-sized scooters is the utility they offer.

Contrary to smaller scooters, these scooters have larger under-seat compartments for storage. Many also offer additional storage on the front or back in form of storage boxes.

Whether you are heading down to the grocery store or to work, you can rest assured know that there is ample storage to conveniently carry your stuff.

Good Performance

The trouble with smaller scooters is the engine size. If you are purchasing a scooter for adventure rides in summers, a small scooter with a 50cc engine might be a good option.

However, if you are looking to switch to scooters as your sole mode of transportation, you need more power. Mid-sized scooters are available in a number of different engine sizes that range between 100cc to 200c. This means you have access to more power and can use your scooter more frequently.

Comfortable Seating

Many beginner scooter riders tend to take time to adjust to new seating on their vehicles. As an adult, it might be difficult to sit on small sized scooters for longer periods.

You might only wish to use your small sized scooter for shorter runs rather than making it your sole transportation. On the other hand, mid-sized scooters offer larger, comfortable seating that is enough for two people. You can also expect to ride for hours without feeling tired.
